TARGET: Stratabound gold, or hydrothermally altered vein stockwork copper-gold mineralisation that commonly is structurally emplaced within folded, brittle fractured competent Adelaidean metasedimentary units, in an area 20 km east of Peterborough. EXPLORATION: Landsat image interpretation, literature searches, field prospecting, reconnaissance 1:100k scale geological mapping and rock chip (98) sampling, and detailed 1:1000 scale geological mapping and rock chip (46) sampling at the Mount Grainger and Hennig's prospects, plus percussion drilling (5 inclined open holes totalling 173 m) at Hennig's prospect. RESULTS: All of the drillholes put down at Hennig's prospect encountered weak gold mineralisation. Four areas of significant hydrothermal alteration of fractured quartzites (including three with a low, but >1.5 g/t Au response) were outlined. Related surface geochemical sampling returned gold values of up to 9 g/t Au.
