Gidgie Bore Project

(E51/1096) - 80% Encounter, 20% Avoca

The Crossland Hill and Gidgie Bore projects are located approximately 60kms north west of Meekatharra and lie within the Yilgarn block. The two anomalies are located along major structures mapped by the GSWA and are evident in the regional magnetics data. The geology of the area consists of extensive granitic and gneissic outcrops. Interpretation of the surface uranium channel radiometrics indicates the area contains a broad zone of metasomatic alteration and elevated uranium anomalism. Results received from the initial program of reconnaissance rock chip sampling generated two areas of base metals anomalism at Crossland Hill and Gidgee Bore.

A geochemical review of multi element data and targeting program was completed by GCXplore Pty Ltd on 474 rock and regolith samples. Elevated Pb, Zn and anomalous Ag (up to 10ppm) were found across 2km spaced sample lines in the south of E51/1096. The southern portion of the Gidgee Bore project has been targeted for detailed soil sampling to define areas for potential geophysical follow up.
