Extensive and highly prospective base metals and copper-gold tenure in a world-class district.
- Highly prospective ~6,000km2 exploration portfolio in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW
- World-class mineral field, hosting numerous Tier-1 deposits:
- Cadia, Cowal, North Parkes porphyry copper-gold
- Cobar Basin Epithermal-style lead-zinc-silver-copper
- Vein-style high-grade gold-silver
- Recent significant discoveries and mine developments:
- Tomingley gold, Hera/Federation copper-lead-zinc-silver
- Talisman tenure spans significant controlling structures:
- Areas under cover have not been well explored
- All significant deposits are structurally controlled
- Exploration targeting using geophysics and structural geology
- Large-scale lead-silver-zinc system intersected at Rip N Tear
- Significant high-grade Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Au system intersected at Durnings
Durnings Prospect
Stage 1 – Scope the project size potential
- Canbelego – Mineral Hill Volcanic Belt
- Durnings Prospect associated with strong base metals soil geochemistry
- SE of Mineral Hill ( operated by Kingston Resources)
- 17Km strike length of the prospective Faults/Structure
- Dominant position over the most prospective ground
- Large IP anomalies –1.3km strike length implying substantial structurally controlled target –never tested
- Previous & Historical results
- DRRC0001 – 8m at 6.3g/t Au, 0.77% Cu, 0.36% Zn, 6.3g/t Ag1
- KSRC0008 – 32m at 0.37g/t Au, 1.25% Pb, 12.1g/t Ag2
- Potential to be:
