Continuing assessment of the stratiform copper potential of the Kapunda Mine area and now also the surrounding country has consisted of diamond and percussion drilling, assaying of mineralised intersections (best intercept 10 m @ 2.13% Cu from 427-437 m hole depth in KD11), plus the conduct of detailed, 1:1200 scale geological mapping and of surface geochemical sampling. This work has shown that sub-economic mineralisation extends to the east and south-east of the main fault zone within untested prospective sequences.

    Notes: Continuation of tenure by Northland Minerals, but over a substantially increased area, from its prior EL 30 (see Env 2272).  Northland Minerals entered into a joint venture with Utah Development Co. on 29/4/1974, which covers all of its exploration licences in the Kapunda district.  Tenure over the same ground has subsequently been renewed by the JV partners as EL 239.  Includes:  - Metallurgical and mineralogical investigations of Kapunda copper ore.  - Kapunda copper ore- specific gravity determinations and copper analyses  - Geostatistical study of Northland's diamond drilling data.
