Follow-up drilling of an occurrence of low-grade (6 m @ 0.33% Cu) chalcocite mineralisation found in a percussion hole on the western shore of Lake Windabout (LH8) consisted of 28 diamond tailed rotary percussion holes totalling 2098 m, of which 1953 m was cored. Chalcocite mineralisation with a grade of 0.3% Cu was cored over a 5 m thick interval in the Whyalla Sandstone in holes LH12 and LH21, which had been sited about 500 m NE of LH8. A subsequent magnetic survey pinpointed the location of a dolerite dyke passing between these mineralised holes (LH8 and LH12 / LH21).
