Reports discuss the ongoing geophysical, geochemical and diamond drilling investigations of regional magnetic features around the northern end of Yorke Peninsula, targetting hidden supergene copper and gold mineralisation in the Moonta and Kadina regions. Detailed soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveys and IP surveys were conducted over several previously defined aeromagnetic anomalies at Thrington, Jericho, Doora, South Kadina and Moonta. Drillhole DDH7 at the Doora prospect intersected mineralised lodes in faulted chloritic schist, carrying chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite over a 30 foot interval, and assaying up to 1.80% Cu.
