Highlights
▪ Deeply weathered troughs in areas of unaltered metamorphic rocks were found to be associated with zones of faulting, deep oxidation and intrusives at depth.
▪ The ANT surveys confirm the significance of the prominent north-northeast (NNE) structure associated with copper oxide mineralisation.
▪ The combined resultant 3D Model provides targeted criteria for extensions to existing mineralisation and potential for new discoveries of oxide copper-REE mineralisation.
The 3D ANT Modelling has provided significant lithological and structural insights into the Alford East Project area. Combining this information with Thor’s dataset has led to an exciting new 3D Model, with a newfound understanding of the Alford East structural setting and mineralisation controls. This has provided the Company with a refined targeted strategy, focusing future drilling on areas with potential high-grade oxide copper-gold and REE mineralisation.
The model also provides greater insight into historical, negative drill results that led to major explorers leaving the area.
NEXT STEPS
2. Pump testing for ISR assessment push-pull work
3. Continue quarterly groundwater testing
