Rover Regional Exploration Targets

In addition to the proposed mine development at Rover 1 and the advanced prospects of Explorer 142 (Cu-Au) and Explorer 108 (Pb-Zn-Ag), the Rover Project tenure contains numerous similar style and order of magnitude untested geophysical targets which could represent new IOCG or base metals systems.

The Rover Field lies under cover sequence rocks ranging from 50 to 200metres in depth and therefore high quality geophysical data provides the best approach to specific drill targeting. Westgold has completed a comprehensive programme of detailed geophysical data acquisition to aid drill targeting. These detailed data sets include airborne magnetic including helimag, ground based gravity data, trial electrical methods and more recently a Heli-TEM survey.

The Heli-TEM equipment is the most powerful commercially available airborne EM system in the world and an initial survey has recently been completed over the three advanced mineralised systems of Rover1, Explorer 142 and Explorer 108 and a number of initial untested target areas. Assessment and interpretation of the final data is currently underway and it is considered this data may provide a useful and additional tool to targeting the host ironstones and sulphide rich accumulations normally associated with these deposits.

Westgold considers there is excellent potential within the project tenure to discover additional high-grade deposits like Rover 1.
