Presentation of findings and
3D modelling techniques used by Expert Geophysics Pty Ltd at Red
Setter
Further to its announcement on
17th September 2024, Wishbone Gold Plc is pleased to
share the key elements of the presentation regarding exploration
findings at its Red Setter prospect given by Expert Geophysics Pty
Ltd ("EGL") at the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists
("ASEG") DISCOVER Symposium 2024 which was held from
15th - 18th October in Tasmania.
The information disclosed followed
interpretation of the Mobile Magnetotellurics Survey ("MobileMT")
data conducted by EGL last year. Red Setter is located in the
Paterson Range in Western Australia and neighbours Newcrest's
Telfer gold mine, one of the most productive resources in the
region.
The summary of findings as presented
by EGL were as follows:
·
The application of the airborne natural
electromagnetic field method in the Red Setter prospect area
yielded promising results, demonstrating the technique's potential
in regions with extensive cover.
·
The study successfully mapped subsurface
structures and identified zones of potential mineralization, guided
by the structural features similar to the nearby Telfer
deposit.
·
The key take-away is the identification of a
prominent resistive dome-like structure, which is correlated with
gravity anomaly and interpreted as a potential target for further
exploration.
The Red Setter survey area is
situated in the Isdell Formation carbonate rocks of the Paterson
Orogen. The area is under extensive cover of Permian Formation with
80m thickness in average.
The closest significant deposit is
Telfer, which is located 13 km to the north east of Red Setter. It
has gold-copper mineralization which is related to stratiform to
stratabound quartz-carbonate sulfide reefs as developed in the
Telfer Dome structure.
Drilling was concentrated in the
main magnetic anomaly area with 12 holes. The extensive zones of
mineralisation include quartz-carbonate sulphide veins with albitic
alteration. Sulphides are pyrite-chalcopyrite with rare pyrrhotite,
bornite and arsenopyrite. Gold mineralisation intersected in both
holes WRSDD0010 and WRSDD0011.
After the natural field data
inversion, it was found to be similar to Telfer's structural
patterns. The right side of the image shows Telfer's dome structure
in plan view and the section.
The regional gravity analysis
identified that both Telfer and Red Setter structures are related
to gradients with low gravity anomalies but with subtle local highs
(see image below)
The conductive and resistive
anomalies axes are traced based on the algorithm of adaptive energy
filtering. It enables the identification of correlated signals with
various spectral-correlation characteristics. The adaptive energy
filtering is executed on apparent conductivity grids for selected
frequencies, and the results are combined into one map.
Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman,
commented: "As highlighted at the
ASEG conference, the techniques and data insights provided by EGL
using MobileMT are transformational as they allow the industry to
understand in far greater detail what lies under the ground.
These findings reinforce the fact that Red Setter has a 3km strike
with impressive gold grades near surface and a clear picture of the
possible origins of the gold and copper deposits. I look forward to
the next stage in Red Setter's exploration programme buoyed by the
value-added insights provided by these findings."
