Continuing evaluation of the remaining copper mineralisation potential of mining claims and surrounding areas at the historic Mountain-of-Light copper mine prospect has consisted of geological mapping and some random geochemical sampling, plus the conduct of IP/resistivity surveys over selected portions of the prospect grid, and rotary percussion drilling (12 holes for 1675 feet) to test certain promising IP/resistivity anomalies. The geophysical surveying at Rosmann East produced some encouraging IP anomalies that were interpreted to coincide with the downdip projection of the mine lode, which is now seen as extending outside of the boundaries of the mineral claims, along the western margin of the diapir.

Notes: Continuation of tenure over same area from former SML 648 (see Env 1449). Tenure over all of this ground has subsequently been renewed, but as the southern part of a larger EL 126 (see Env 2418). The results of the 12-hole rotary percussion drilling programme carried out in March 1973, and referred to by the EL 44 first quarterly report, are missing from this dataset and are assumed to be lost.
