“ It is readily apparent in the VLF data that
an anomaly is streaming to the northeast in even more
definite fashion than to the south (Walsh Lake grid).
This comes as no surprise since the country rocks here,
the volcanics and sediments are being increasingly squeezed
as they head northeast. Granite intrusions lie to the
south and broadly to the north.
The magnetics for the area contain a fair amount
of activity in the range 56,500 – 58,000 nT. Some
of the highpoints are sharply resolved and indicate a
bedded environment variously intruded under a comparatively
thin cover. In terms of potential gold mineralization,
the southern reaches of the area appear the more interesting.
Here, there are more irregularities in the otherwise smooth
continuum of contours, exemplified best by the prominent
quasi-circular high in the south-centre of the area. By
all appearance, this feature portrays an intrusive centre
more mafic than its surrounds. It peaks at 360E on line
1100N.
There is evidence that it also sits on a major N-S
fault line. The focus of this structure hence becomes
a prospective target, and as it extends north from the
intrusion, it is of some considerable note that it should
thread a succession of magnetic lows as it does so. The
closest two to the intrusive contact are also among the
strongest in the area, but not the strongest. That distinction
belongs to another magnetic low sitting 200m to grid East
on line 1200N. In that location it too nestles in close
to the granite contact and is eminent there.
Should interesting mineralization and/or alternation
be encountered in the first 2 holes, then this section
will offer immediate scope for in-fill drilling.”
