Summary

          • NTGS find hematite- and flourite-alteration on
            Mithril lease
          • Follow-up work discovered copper occurrences over
            50 km of strike
          • Alteration patterns consistent with IOCG
          • Region under-explored and never drilled
          • Drilling confirms IOCG mineralisation
          • In a belt with large footprint
          • At surface (unlike Cloncurry and Olympic Provinces)
          • Walk-up drill targets!

Page 21
A bigger picture …



          Other known and emerging IOCG provinces in Australia
              with active exploration include … a … new IOCG
              province in the Arunta region of central Australia.
            In [this] area, encouraging indicators have recently
           been discovered within a belt extending hundreds of
           kilometres along the major crustal boundary between
                     the Aileron and Warumpi provinces.

  • 21. Summary • NTGS find hematite- and flourite-alteration on Mithril lease • Follow-up work discovered copper occurrences over 50 km of strike • Alteration patterns consistent with IOCG • Region under-explored and never drilled • Drilling confirms IOCG mineralisation • In a belt with large footprint • At surface (unlike Cloncurry and Olympic Provinces) • Walk-up drill targets!

  • 22. A bigger picture … Other known and emerging IOCG provinces in Australia with active exploration include … a … new IOCG province in the Arunta region of central Australia. In [this] area, encouraging indicators have recently been discovered within a belt extending hundreds of kilometres along the major crustal boundary between the Aileron and Warumpi provinces.
