Geophysical & Geochemical Drill Targets

Geophysical interpretation was derived from ground IP and airborne magnetic and ZTEM survey data. The airborne data was processed using 3D/2D inversion to provide a better rendition of the deeper geophysical targets. The priority drill sites were ranked based on the geophysical and geochemical anomaly attributes. Highest ranked targets are located in the North and South copper zones which were delineated by historical drilling. SCZ is associated with well-defined coincident ZTEM and magnetic highs.

Detailed analysis and processing of multi-element ICP soil data generated a total of 8 geochemical target areas. The priority drill sites were ranked based on the geochemical anomaly attributes only. The highest ranked targets are again located in the NCZ and SCZ defined by historical drilling.

The Embayment anomaly is very prospective owing to the fact that no drilling has been undertaken and the soil anomalies are located along the westen flank of a coincident moderate magnetic and ZTEM high. Close spaced soil sampling is recommended owing to wide 500m line spacing used in the past.
