An area centred approximately 40 km north-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible buried economic IOCG type mineralisation, following in the footsteps of other recent explorers there who were unable to commit to completing significant on-ground works for this purpose owing to the effects of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Vale's activities on the now relinquished 50% portion of EL 5225 consisted of the conduct of a Native Title heritage clearance survey, and the acquisition and processing of data as part of a semi-regional gravity survey which was carried out in August 2014. The entire survey consisted of 32 north-south lines plus another 8 infill lines, yielding gravity data at a 500 m x 1 km grid density, closing down to 500 m x 500 m over anomalies of interest. Four high priority anomalies were identified, which presently are undergoing detailed 3D inversion modelling and integration with image processed magnetic data and available drillhole information, as a precursor to selecting drilling targets.
