| ABSTRACT: | The core drilling by Ardea at Goongarrie South earlier this year reported anomalous scandium results of 34.1 m at 64 g/t scandium from 24.3 m in drill-hole AGSD0001 and of 10.0 m at 64 g/t scandium from 4.0 m in drill-hole AGSD0003 (refer ASX announcement 4 July 2017). Accordingly, a scandium confirmation program was run. Scandium results are limited to a limited number of non-selective holes in which sampling was undertaken recently. Historically, previous owners of the project did not assay for scandium. Ardea has resampled pulps from historic drill holes that have been stored in Kalgoorlie for a decade or more. The condition of the pulps was pristine, so there are not expected to be any issues with the use of these samples. QAQC assessment by Ardea has confirmed good agreement between historic and current data with respect to nickel and cobalt. The pulps, which were collected from drill holes spaced at 400 m line intervals and at 80 m drill spacing, were sampled despite there being numerous intervening drill holes. These results will warrant more detailed sampling from the intervening holes to fully define the extent and distribution of scandium at Goongarrie South. In total, 2,871 samples have been collected. Of these, 1,598 have been received, and it is these samples that are reported here (see Appendix 2 for all new assay results). More detailed reporting will follow once all data is to hand. It is expected that detailed resampling will enable incorporation of scandium into the mining schedule as a by-product. | |
