Ongoing base metal exploration in the Cleve district of eastern Eyre Peninsula has comprised detailed regional mapping, extensive geochemical and petrological sampling, and percussion drilling of selected geochemical anomalies. Assay results indicate that the Lower Schist Unit and Mount Shannan Formation are major base metal-mineralised horizons, commonly incorporating graphitic jaspilites, calc-silicate skarns and metamorphosed tuffs that contain local enrichments of Cu to 0.38%, Pb to 0.90% and Zn to 0.21%.
