An orientation survey found anomalous base metal concentrations in trees growing over Cattlegrid, but not over MG14. The source of higher metal concentrations at Cattlegrid is probably the bedrock geochemical anomaly which is due to the shallow water table combined with permeable ore and overburden horizons.Austminex plans include biogeochemical results, geological maps and follow up drilling results.
