| ABSTRACT: | A further two DC holes (NBDD002-003), for a total of 492.5m, was completed in December 2016 at the Nambi Deposit as part of the deep drilling programme. The Nambi Prospects lie in the northern portion of the Company’s 100% owned Redcliffe Gold Project. The drilling was designed as follow up to the highly encouraging gold results received from drilling completed at the Nambi Deposit in July 2016 with additional input from structural observations concerning potential plunge orientations to the high grade lodes determined from geological interpretation. Both holes were planned to intersect high grade plunge positions of the Main and E1 Lodes, utilising existing drill pads but with varying drill hole inclinations (dips). Previous drilling campaigns have been hampered by excessive drill hole deviation, however, continual monitoring by NTM and controlled drilling practices by the Contractor (Kalgoorlie-based Westralian Diamond Drillers) resulted in the lode systems being intersected with acceptable deviation from planned intersect positions. The Main Lode, which was the focus for open pit mining in the 1990’s was intersected in both holes and comprised a mylonitised package of felsic volcanics, volcanoclastic rocks and black shales. Intense silicification and sulphides characterise the Main Lode, with sulphide content (pyrrhotitepyrite-chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite) exceeding 20% in places. Detailed structural logging of the core suggests that both the Main and E1 Lodes occur within parasitic fold hinge zones, plunging steeply SSE. | |
