Author: Dubowski, E.A.

During intensive exploration for an economic copper resource in the Parabarana Hill area from 1968-1975, North Flinders Mines Ltd approached SADM for direct assistance in proving the indicated deposit. SADM drilled 2 diamond drill holes, from November 1972 - November 1973. This data package presents the SADM data and reviews all company data. Ore reserve figures have not been calculated, but inferred resources are 6.1 million tonnes at 0.9% Cu with a grade of 1.1% in the thickest part of the mineralised zone (10-30 metres). Mineralization is considered to be a result of hydrothermal activity associated with the intrusion of the Mount Neill Granite Porphyry and subsequent localisation in shear zones.
