TA1-4 targets could substantially enhance the value of the Project and significantly increase the value of the Company (refer Fig 2). Previous Exploration At Herakleion Prospect (copper-uranium-gold) Exploration data for the Herakleion Prospect suggests it has potential to host Olympic Dam style copper–uranium–gold mineralisation. Drilling conducted in December 2003 to test target TA-2 did not intersect basement, however, an 80 m section of deformation and alteration was intersected within an Ordovician aged diapirric Breccia. This sequence has been sampled and returned assays with elevated values for copper, uranium, rare earth elements and cobalt. These elements, together with iron, gold and silver, characterise the mineralisation at Olympic Dam and their presence at Herakleion is very positive. The Herakleion Prospect gravity anomaly is interpreted to indicate the presence of rocks with similar density to iron-rich breccias associated with the Olympic Dam mine. Four peaks within the anomaly are considered the most prospective targets and have been designated for targets TA-1 to TA-4. Previous drilling only focussed on TA-2 and the other three targets remain untested. Key features exhibited include: • elevated copper, uranium, rare earth elements and cobalt have been assayed from diamond drill core (2003) • surface copper mineralisation • a gravity anomaly covering an 8.5 km x 3.5 km target zone Regional Geology The western parts of the Edward Creek Project area are on the Gawler Craton while the eastern side is dominated by a group of four Precambrian inliers known collectively as the Denison Inlier. Block faulting to form the Peake and Denison Ranges uplifted the Inlier. The rocks of the Inlier are prospective for copper, gold, lead, zinc, and uranium. The regional gravity anomaly of the Herakleion prospect lies on the west side of the Peake and Denison Ranges. Published government maps show this area to be underlain by a northnorthwest trending complex uplifted, fault-bounded, "horst" structure, comprising of basal Adelaidean rocks uncomfortably overlying lower Proterozoic metamorphic basement. To the east and west are thicker sequences of younger Adelaidean rocks. The horst structure contains early Proterozoic rocks that may be prospective for Olympic Dam mid Proterozoic aged mineralisation.
