GOLD PROJECTS:
1. Mt Pleasant - click here for more information
The Mt Pleasant Project is located approximately 35km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Broad Arrow Mineral Field and some 555km east-northeast of Perth. The southern portion of the project can be accessed via the sealed Kalgoorlie-Meekatharra Highway and then west along the unsealed Black Flag-Ora Banda Road. The Mt Pleasant Project comprises 13 granted exploration licence and 2 prospecting licence applications comprising an aggregate area of some 16.19km2.
2. Bonnievale - click here for more information
The Bonnievale Project comprises one granted prospecting licence with an area of some 0.53km2.
The Bonnievale Project lies within the Coolgardie Domain, a mafic and ultramafic volcanic sequence, with minor black shale and volcanoclastic interbeds, overlain by felsic volcanoclastics and metasediments. Felsic to mafic sills and dykes intrude the sequence. A mafic to ultramafic sill has intruded the contact between the basalt and felsic units. Historic workings appear to have targeted this contact. The project is covered with laterite.
The Bonnievale Project area covers a former mining centre with old workings and a battery from the early 1900s within the current project area. Some 25,000t of tailings sand was produced in the 1930s from gold ore processing. In 1988, Main Reef Gold Ltd and Kalgoorlie Resources undertook a small scale underground and open pit operation. The underground operation reportedly produced 147oz of gold from 350t grading 13g/t Au. The production figures for the open pit operation are not known.
3. Kalgoorlie East - click here for more information
The Kalgoorlie East Project covers two separate areas which are located 10km and 15km northeast of Kalgoorlie.
The tenement is underlain by a sequence of felsic volcanics, clastic and volcanoclastic sediments, with felsic intrusions forming part of the Boorara Domain. The Kanowna Shear lies immediately to the east of the western tenement. At least one structure is interpreted to underlie the tenement area from the aeromagnetic dataset.
The eastern tenements are located mostly within the Kalgoorlie Terrane with a small eastern portion within the Gindalbie Terrane both of the Archaean Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt. Western Resources also explored the current eastern tenement area. Western Resources concluded that the past exploration had only consisted of surface auger geochemistry and wide spaced reconnaissance vertical RAB drilling.
4. Windanya - click here for more information
The Windanya Project is located approximately 45km to 60km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie-Boulder which is approximately 600km north east of Perth.
The Windanya Project comprises one granted prospecting licence and four prospecting licence applications with an aggregate area of some 6.65km2
5. Balgarrie - click here for more information
The Balgarri Project is located between 35km and 55km north of Coolgardie. Coolgardie is 570km east of Perth. The Balgarri Project comprises three prospecting licence applications with an aggregate area of some 4.88km2. The Tenements P16/2622 and P16/2623 are contiguous with the third tenement P16/2621 being located to the west of the other two.
The Balgarri Project is situated within a northwest-southeast trending Archaean greenstone sequence. The basement geology is overlain and obscured by transported material and residual clay and sands. The greenstone sequence is comprised of ultrabasic, basaltic, gabbroic rocks, felsic and intermediate volcanics and minor black shales. The Zuleika shear zone is approximately 1km northeast of the project.
6. Smithfield - click here for more information
The Smithfield Project is located 30km north of Kalgoorlie and 8km east of Broad Arrow Township. The project can be accessed via the Kalgoorlie – Leonora Highway and the unsealed Broad Arrow to Mulgarrie road and from there by station tracks.
The Smithfield Project comprises one granted prospecting licence with an area of some 1.96km2.
The Smithfield Project is located in a greenstone sequence east of the granite contact forming the eastern margin of the Goongarie-Mt Pleasant Anticline. The project is dominated by komatiites, minor gabbro, dolerite and basalt. The area is covered by a veneer of aeolian sands and residual soil hence there is limited outcrop in the project area.
The project is along strike to the northwest from the King of Kings gold mining centre. Mineralisation is hosted by altered granite and consists of a steeply-dipping sheeted quartz vein system.
URANIUM
1. Lake Marmion - click here for more information
The Lake Marmion Uranium Project is located approximately 125km north of Kalgoorlie and 50 kilometres east of the township of Menzies. Menzies is 726km north east of Perth, Western Australia.
The Lake Marmion Project comprises of exploration licence application with an area of some 1300km2.
The Lake Marmion East Uranium Project is located within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The geology and exploration potential is identical to that of the Goongarie Uranium Project.
