14 square km or 35% of the former area of EL 5931, and 3 square km or ~5.2% of the former area of EL 6379, have recently been relinquished due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for buried base and precious metal mineralisation. Work completed on the relinquished portions of ELs 5931 and 6379 consisted of the acquisition during 2018 of parts of a detailed airborne magnetic/radiometric/DEM survey, making geological and structural interpretations of the survey data, generating conceptual exploration targets, particularly for gold, and also reviewing historic regional gravity survey data in October 2020. Prior to this, at the end of 2016, part of a regional XCITE helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey was flown over the relinquished portion of EL 5931, and CSA Global also completed an assessment of historic surface geochemical sampling results from there. During 2019, Southern Geoscience Consultants completed a detailed geological and structural interpretation of the new aeromagnetic data, integrating inputs from government surface geological mapping, drillhole data, gravity data, and the 2016 Wilcherry Project heli-borne EXCITE EM/magnetic survey EM data [Note: the EXCITE survey was not flown over the relinquished portion of EL 6379]. The integration work was done mainly at a scale of 1:25,000, and helped with the ranking of targets chosen. No targets were identified within the relinquished portions of ELs 5931 and 6379. Alliance currently regards the gravity dataset as a critical exploration tool to use in the Wilcherry Project area because: 1. It can distinguish the density contrast existing between skarn-altered Paleoproterozoic Hutchison Group metasediments (SG: 3.0-4.5) and Archaean Sleaford Complex granites and gneiss (and younger granite intrusions) (SG: 2.6-2.8). Consequently, the gravity data can resolve the granite – metasediment contacts better than does magnetic imagery, because the strong magnetic signals in magnetic imagery that come from magnetite skarn bodies mask the surrounding lithologies; 2. It can detect major first order mantle-tapping faults that are the conduit of deeply sourced mineralising fluids, and shallower second and third order faults that may form structural traps for the deposition of mineral deposits; 3. It can detect concentrations of dense haematite and goethite that are not magnetic. Haematite and goethite are important near-surface sources of Direct Shipping Iron Ore (DSO). Haematite is also concentrated in the large, dense barren core of IOCG deposits; 4. It can detect the underlying Hiltaba Suite granites that are the source of skarn mineralisation in the district; and 5. It can detect large accumulations of massive and disseminated sulphide mineralisation associated with base metal deposits. However, it was found that now relinquished portions of ELs 5931 and 6379 had only been covered by 2 km x 2 km spaced gravity stations, and these data are of too poor a resolution for attempting processing and interpretation.
