A Prospector has acquired the ground surrounding a discovery area within Exploration Licence E28/2343 & ELA28/2860 consisting of 47 Blocks or about 120sq kilometres.
History of companies searching for a VMS Zn deposit since the 1970s include Amax, Aquitane, Seltrust, WMC min the Colour Dam area. Refer: Wamex Reports: A4745, A3802, A7845, A63917, A7684.
The geology of discovered area includes foliated siltstones, black shales and quartz veining which are anomalous in zinc and gold.
Anomalous zones defined by auger soil geochemistry (peak result 2032ppm Zn) close to the margin of granite batholith.
Fact mapping has shown isolated metasedimentary rock units and mafic inliers in granite indicating north and north east trending faults.
Mapping has revealed iron rich gossans with anomalous zinc and silver peaking at 2965ppmZn and 4.5g/t Ag. Two other gossans have been identified with significant values using Niton XRF analysis (2000 - 3000ppm Zn).
RC drilling outside the anomalous area has a peak result of 3000ppmZn, 2g/tAu.
Circular structure interpreted as a pipe structure with drilling indicating the presence of arenites and tuffaceous material suggesting a volcanic arc association.
A TEM survey by Southern Geoscience Consultants indicated the presence of a '"sulphide type" strong anomaly central to the mapped area at two discrete depths. A second anomaly of approximately 1 km length was also discovered south east of the mapped area
