Early Exploration


Historic Work

Evidence of small-scale gold mining from last century exists in the form of two mine shafts developed on quartz veins in BIF near Mt. Elvire.Broken Hill Metals NL (BHM) conducted gold exploration in the Mount Elvire and Lake Barlee area in the mid to late 1980s. BHM carried out stream, soil and rock chip sampling, RAB drilling (8 vertical holes), RC drilling (13 inclined holes), detailed geological mapping on a 1:10,000 scale, geophysics, aerial photo interpretation, and ground magnetics and magnetic induced polarisation surveys (Hewson 1997 and Zapata 1985). Some promising results were reported from rock-chip sampling (up to 200 g/t) and RAB drilling.  Significant drilling results includes:
  • ME 30: 10m @ 23.2g/t Au from 17m
  • ME 22: 2.5m @ 9.29g/t Au from 0m
  • ME 21: 2.1m @ 1.77g/t Au from 0m
  • ME 20: 1.2m @ 1.28g/t Au from 17.7m
  • ME 08: 3m @ 0.63g/t Au from 0m
  • MEP 101:  1m @ 1g/t Au from 41m & 1m @ 1g/t Au from 53m
