Project Scale VTEM & Geochem Targets

Overview

Cazaly holds the rights to a major land position covering more than 2,450km2 in the Ashburton Basin, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The Ashburton project covers major regional structures considered to be highly prospective for large mineralised systems and occurs in the region hosting Northern Star’s (ASX: NST) Paulsen’s gold deposit and Kalamazoo’s (ASX: KZR) Mount Olympus gold deposit.

The project area presents an excellent opportunity for the discovery of new large mineralised systems with:

  • Deep seated lithospheric faults providing pathways for mineralised fluids,
  • 80km strike across highly prospective structures,
  • a history of very little modern exploration, and
  • evidence of large mineralized systems in the district with two major gold mines located along strike

Cazaly drive their exploration using the mineralised systems approach. A new geological structural model was developed based on a comprehensive review and interpretation of all available geological and geophysical datasets. This identified priority structures with the potential to host gold; base metals; or REEs.

A regional scale geochemical surface sampling campaign was designed to cover the entire tenement package to further refine mineralised targets for drill testing. Detailed Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) surveys were flown across several discrete target areas.. To date field work has identified:

  • Rock chip samples with up to 32% copper were collected at Cheela Plains located along the Najilgardy fault zone.
  • Anomalous gold and gold-copper mineralised trends extend over 70km in the northern project area, and
  • Strong base metal signatures highlighting the prospectivity of regional scale structures in the southern project area.
  • Anomalous REE rock chip samples over 50km strike – 7 samples above 0.5% TREO including two above 1% TREO
  • Three new EM targets identified – remain to be drill tested.
