TARGET: Possible diamonds; Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U mineralisation; gold associated with banded iron formations; iron ore; and stratiform base metal sulphide mineralisation hosted by Lower to Middle Proterozoic metasedimentary units that include probable volcaniclastic and metabasic rocks, in an area located 110 km north of Kingoonya. EXPLORATION: The re-appraisal of Samedan's EL 399 aeromagnetic survey data, plus the acquisition and interpretation of a new aerial magnetic / radiometric / INPUT survey, a number of follow-up ground magnetic, gravity and Sirotem surveys, geological mapping, rock chip sampling for multi-element and whole rock analyses, drill core petrographic studies, RAB drilling (116 holes totalling 3458 m), percussion drilling (6 holes totalling 783.7 m), and 1 (later re-entered and deepened) diamond drillhole (296 m). RESULTS: No conductors indicative of buried massive sulphide deposits were evident from 23 km of ground EM survey data. Drilling undertaken on RAB bedrock geochemical anomalies and on a single significant magnetic/gravity anomaly lying astride a regional gravity high also failed to disclose any base or precious metal mineralisation down to a depth of 300 m. Extensive, brecciated, moderately to steeply dipping haematite-rich rock encountered in diamond drillhole 87HN1 over the depth interval 106-118 m depth assayed 67% Fe and 0.01% P. Although this bed's true thickness may only be < 2 m, local potential exists for more massive iron accumulations, by analogy with the Middleback Range deposits. Low grade gold values were associated with the shallower RAB drilled BIF units, but these are thought to have come from undetected small shear zones or veins rather than supergene sources. Some elevated base metal, rare earth element (REE) and uranium drill intersections were recorded within the contact metamorphic aureoles of granite plutons which subcrop in the western and northern parts of the licence area. These epithermal enrichments to originally weakly anomalous quartzose and calcsilicate metasedimentary units may be prospective for Gamsberg style zinc-lead deposits at BIF contacts.
