Eighteen rotary drillholes with bottom-hole core and one diamond drillhole were completed northwest of Port Lincoln and intersected quartzite, schist, calcsilicate, graphitic schist and marble attributed to the Hutchison Group. These drillholes were designed to test an aeromagnetic anomaly for the presence of base-metal ore potential within Hutchison Group rocks in an area of poor outcrop. Elevated values of Zn, Co and Ni are present in altered marble in Wattleton RD-9 and 10. Drilling results support the prior interpretation from aeromagnetic data of a north-plunging antiform, the east limb of which can be traced southwards to Sleaford Bay, where similar rocks crop out.
