Soil anomalies using both deep overburden and ionic leach techniques have highlighted a base metal anomaly 1km in length. Outcrop is limited to the banks of the small streams in the area and copper staining is noted in places, supergene chalcocite mineralization outcrops in the vicinity of the Gossan Burn fault. Channel sampling across the zone yielded\n \n 10m\n \n @ 5% Copper including\n \n 2.5m\n \n @ 17.5 % Copper.\n \n \n The drill rig is a special helicopter portable light rig mounted on a rubber tracked Moorooka to minimize ground disturbance.
