![]() ![]() Mawson is permitted for all-year-round drilling within 4 exploration permit areas (4,263 hectares). The gravity survey is 50% funded by the BATCircle research program. Significant gravity gradients have been observed, which are interpreted to reflect both mafic to ultramafic and granitic intrusions and basin-controlling structures beneath the Rajapalot and Rompas project areas. Preliminary data from the gravity survey indicate fundamental geologic and structural controls are visible. Approximately 50% of the detailed area has been covered to date. The survey is divided in two parts, firstly a detailed survey on a 400 metre grid and secondly, a semi-regional 1,300 to 1,500 metre grid outside the detailed area. The survey will aim to understand deeper structural and intrusive controls on gold-cobalt mineralization. Drill fans will be created on 120 metre spaced sections down plunge from known mineralization, with wedging and directional drilling from primary drill holes to be used to intersect mineralization at multiple points for resource estimation purposes.Ī large ground-based 1,070 station gravity survey over 41,700 hectares is now in progress. Given the continuity of the linear high-grade gold and cobalt mineralization within TEM conductors, fixed loop TEM surveys aid in defining further blind mineralized bodies and DHEM will be used to refine precise drill targets. Drill targets for the program are tightly constrained. The drill program budget is for 15 kilometres of drilling, but may be reduced if the required number of mineralization intersections is reached through shorter (but more expensive) directional drill holes. Four drill rigs will be operating by early January 2020 when winter conditions allow. The resource expansion drill program has already commenced with drilling with one drill rig at Palokas. The detailed geological understanding of high-grade gold mineralization combined with the geophysical response of the host rocks has enabled tightly defined drill targets, and will result in a regular stream of news flow over the next half year.” This program will take us through to May 2020, to build on existing resources and deliver an updated resource calculation in Q2 next year. Michael Hudson, CEO, states: “With the first of four drill rigs mobilized and drilling, our 15 kilometre drill program, in combination with further geophysical and metallurgical work, is underway. ![]() Work under the BATCircle research program continues with geometallurgical studies, batch flotation and leach tests to aid in the design of refined flowsheet for upcoming locked cycle test work.A large ground-based 1,070 station gravity survey over 41,700 hectares is now in progress over the Rajapalot and Rompas areas. ![]()
