PROJECTS

Currently operating Six Projects
in the New England Fold Belt

With a Project selection criteria of:

1. 100% ownership
2. Significant historical geochemistry and/or geophysics
3. Under drilled and/or open ended mineralisation
4. Demonstrated potential for large high grade mineral occurrences

  • Webbs Consol Silver – High grade Silver, Lead, Zinc bearing lodes – Excellent drill results
  • Uralla Gold – Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) constituting a significant gold field – Solid early drill results
  • Trough Gully (Fender) Base Metals– High grade Zn, Cu (Au) VMS style copper deposit – Solid early drill results
  • Sandon – Newly added Bundarra Copper Project and Abington Base Metal Project explorations targets
  • Thor – Large gold anomaly potentially associated with high level intrusions or major regional fault structures
  • Tea Tree – Underexplored goldfield

Fender

VMS Style Copper Mineralisation

  • Location: 30km west of Uralla.
  • Area: 223 km2
  • History: Surface exploration carried out by several companies since the 1960s.
  • Host Geology: Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous Myra and Sandon Beds, inter-fingered with Permian basalt, jasper and chert.
  • Deposit Style: Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) occurrences have been recorded over 30km strike length.
  • Metallurgy: Very high recoveries in initial bulk flotation test.

Exploration:

  • Stream/soil sampling, surface mapping, IP and magnetics
  • Significant copper values in stream sampling over two large areas (Kasey 7km x 3km, Fold 4km x 2km). Coincides with distinct large magnetic ridges and adjacent to Spring Creek fault
  • Significant copper and zinc mineralisation plus gold and silver credits in initial drilling at Trough Gully Copper Mine including:
  • TGY007: 7.30m @ 9.47% ZnEq from 92.1m
  • (4.93% Zn, 1.37% Cu, 0.36 g/t Au & 10.1 g/t Ag)
  • TGY003: 6.90m @ 9.21% ZnEq from 50.9m
  • (4.49% Zn, 1.30% Cu, 0.50g/t Au & 17.4g/t Ag)

Sandon

Two Significant Targets

  • Location: 5km south and 20km southeast of Bundarra.
  • Area: 758 km2
  • History: Surface exploration carried out by several companies since the 1970’s and some minor drilling.
  • Host Geology: Carboniferous Myra and Sandon Bes, inter-fingered by Permian basalt, jasper and chert.
  • Deposit Style: Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS)

Exploration:

  • Bundarra Copper and Abington Base Metals are two prominent explorations targets
  • Stream/soil, surface mapping, gravity and magnetics
  • Extensive historic surface work means minimal preliminary work needed for drill target definition
