Bellas Gate Project SEPL 538 Elma Hill mineralised vein face sampling 23/09/2009 (N 18-02-727 W 077-11-431) A cross section of mineralised vein rock has been explored and sampled from the Elma Mine prospect at Retreat in Clarendon (GPS coordinates above). The vein is held in a foot wall / hanging wall section with a dip of 45° which strikes on a trend of 085/295° - NE/SW across the face of the section. The vein is seen to trend back into the surrounding hill side to the SE approximately 140°. The section is found adjacent to the Little Juan de Bolas River. Various minor zones of the vein face were sampled from the SW to the NE which can be seen to be parted by heavily weathered CaCO3 mineralization. Fifteen (15) assay samples each weighing approximately 6 kilos have been taken within these separate zones across the section face. The zone samples have each been designated separate assay numbers, have had the width measured and the distance from the start of the sampling from the SW of the section. Together with this each sample has a separate GPS coordinate for future allocation in the field if this proves necessary. Mineralisation in the sampled vein section is seen to be malachite, azurite and chalcopyrite with chalcocite. The chalcopyrite seems to be disseminated throughout the mineralised section while the malachite and azurite is held within the thin carbonate CaCO3 weathered veining. Within the section and associated to the CaCO3 mineralisation there seems to be a white carbonate based mineral which at this time cannot be identified. Research into the white mineral is ongoing and as soon as any results or information can be found they will be published. Results are pending from the fifteen (15) assay samples sent to the laboratory and as soon as results are returned these will also be published together with a location map and sketched cross section of the sampled section face. Further to the sampling carried out above one (1) assay sample was taken on the opposite bank of the River to the NW within carbonate mineralization in bedrock. This sample was taken to ascertain if the mineralization continued across the river to the hill section beyond. Again results are pending from the above sample. |
