Copper Hills Project
Overview
- Located 42km south of Meekatharra and covers an area of 9.2 km2
- The Lady Alma Igneous Complex, same age as Windimurra, Barrambie and Youanmi, underlies the Copper Hills tenure
Oxide mineralization
– the historical focus
- Historic workings and trenches have identified an extensive oxide copper + gold system with similarities to the adjacent Gabanintha Gold Mine.
- Mineralisation extends over 3km in strike
- Oxide copper mineralization consists of malachite (plus-minus) azurite with minor native copper present
Magmatic Sulphide Mineralisation
– targeting the source of the oxide mineralisation
- Historic drilling intersected multiple zones of magmatic sulphides as blebs, veins and breccias often associated with carbonate.
- Presence of these sulphides indicate a deeper source for magmatic sulphide mineralisation
- Historically, only limited testing of samples for nickel and copper were conducted.
