TARGET: Extensions to known mineralisation, concealed beneath shallow cover. EXPLORATION: - Acquisition of reconnaissance and detailed ground magnetic surveys and frequency domain, electrode array IP surveys (9000 line km); - Exploration of the Moonta Porphyry metalliferous environment by resistivity sounding, resistivity profiling and electrosounding profiling (ESP) surveys; - Reconnaissance grid-based geochemical sampling of bedrock, and sampling of geophysical anomalies, by auger drilling (10,000 holes); - Diamond drilling (110 holes totalling 28,000 m). RESULTS: The most significant mineralisation was intersected along the West Doora - Vulcan line-of-lode, where numerous small lodes occur in an en-echelon arrangement. DDH38 intersected 351 feet @ 0.41% Cu, 13 feet @ 1.91% Cu. and 12 feet @ 4.39% Cu.
