Multiple magnetic anomaly clusters have been identified. The anomalies underpin the surface Mn-Cu-Pb-Zn vein arrays. Many anomalies are co-incident with the subsurface projection of conductors modelled from electromagnetic survey data. Results point to a much more intricate architecture to the intrusive system than first thought (Fig. 1). These anomalies provide targets for future testing of discrete intrusive bodies interpreted to lie at depth and to drive the hydrothermal vein systems and metal assemblage.\nIn 2015, Meridian contracted CGG / LASA Prospecções S.A. to undertake a 7300 line-kilometer HELITEM survey, covering 61% of the Company's Espigão Project. This supplemented an earlier government magnetic-radiometric survey of 2009 covering the broader area (CPRM \"Rio Machado\" survey). Initial modelling of the data by consultancy Core Geophysics was focused on definition of near-surface conductors, to assist with targeting a drilling program at shallow levels on the vein arrays in 2015-2016. Following the recent development of an intrusive-related model1, 3D modelling has recently been extended to the magnetic data, to test for potential signatures consistent with disc...
