TARGET: Lead-zinc-silver and copper-gold mineralisation in the Mutooroo area of the Willyama Inliers, 55 km east of Olary. EXPLORATION: Airborne EM surveying (~450 line km flown across strike, 75 Hz, at 300 m line spacing) with ground follow-up moving loop Sirotem and magnetic profiling of 5 selected anomalies, plus RC drilling at anomaly BM3 (one inclined hole, total depth 101 m). RESULTS: The drilling targeted a coincident magnetic and EM anomaly, and encountered extensive pyrite and magnetite within ?upper Thackaringa Group quartzitic metasediments, but no anomalous base metals (best result up to l g/t Au and 2 g/t Ag in massive pyrite over the depth interval 82-86 m).
