Ann: Mineralised Carbonatites Discovered at C3 and C4 - Mangaroon, page-93

Missed some interesting (exciting?) activity while looking for active drilling.
The blue stars on the image below are interpreted site preparation for what looks like infill drilling mainly on C3.

Over 20 sites identified which may or may not be all - probably isn't and activity may be ongoing.

The area is now prepared for 80x80m spaced drilling.

Why?
Lets hope it is because some results have been encouraging.

Because ground clearance requires Permits of Work there are a couple of possibilities at least.
The initial POW included 80x80 sites.
DRE applied for a new POW after getting good drill results. The timing on this option probably does not work with the time frame from drilling to site prep probably too short.
Other??

The location of the infill is between the two better holes reported #1 and #10 which is a bit of a surprise rather than being either side of them. One reason I think a lot of the area in C3 and 4 may go to 80x80m and site prep has just begun.


Legend
Blue stars new site prep, White circles recent interpreted drilling, green diamonds reported drill holes. Squares possible site prep previous.
Green Carbonatite interp outline, red thorium anomaly (could be significant), white access tracks and tenement boundary (also magenta).

Some sites are very subtle. There is little doubt that there are infill sites prepared but whether it is for the much hoped for infill from good visuals and/or PXRF or some more mundane reason will have to wait for DRE to make an announcement.

=====
Rough summary of work planned and completed on C1-5 to date.
Not all planned sites on C1 and C2 are obvious on sentinel but given past preparations it is quite likely they are just difficult to spot rather than not prepared.
