    Delta Prospect Geochemistry - Copper Delta Copper in Soils • Soil anomalism (Au & Cu) are coincident with circular features which in turn appear to relate to a diorite body, magmatic centre, key driver for mineralising system • This is a key component to all mineralising systems through the belt 16
