PROMINENT HILL, Cu-Au-Ag-(Co-U-La-Ce) deposit discovered under ~100m of cover sediment. Initial target was a near coincident magnetic and gravity feature. The gravity anomaly had an overall east pointing "V" form, with a 1km long N arm trending WNW-ESE, with associated magnetic anomaly, and 2km long main mineralised S arm trending WSW-ENE, and with no magnetic expression. N arm is ~500m N of the orebody, and across a Hangingwall Fault. It represents a package of magnetite-chlorite-tremolite-phlogopite altered metasomatic 'skarn-like' altered calc-silicate/carbonate-rich metamorphics intercalated with highly altered, intermediate, porphyritic intrusives and chlorite matrix tectonic breccias. The ore deposit comprises several phases of hematite alteration with associated sericite, clay minerals and chlorite, hosted by a N-dipping series of interbedded lithic sandstone and greywacke, siltstone, coarse grained sedimentary and volcanic breccias,
