Interest in an area near Mount Christie Siding was stimulated by the 1993 MESA Barton Bedrock Drilling Programme, which detected anomalous gold, chromium, base metals and platinoid metals in subsurface layered ultramafics. A number of targets generated from previous calcrete sampling were tested by infill sampling at 50 x 50 m centres. This work failed to significantly upgrade the existing anomalies. Detailed interpretation of recent aeromagnetic data defined several new ironstone targets, one of which was tested by three RC drillholes (total 515 m). No significant gold mineralisation was encountered. At the request of PIRSA Minerals Group, two reverse circulation holes totalling 246 m were drilled into a previously discovered chromite-bearing layered ultramafic, with a best result of 8 m at 5.34% Cr in MCRC19; however, this hole was not drilled into the magnetic peak.
