Sentinel imagery between 4th and 14th shows nearly 20 sites prepared at Geo 1/Rizzo as well as a probable drill at PM1 as announced.
PM1
INTERPRETATION from Sentinel imagery on Google Earth (GE). A summary of this time lapse 4-14 April with cloud cover on 9th.
Black spot on NNE site maybe a drill rig.
Activity on south site perhaps a camp with a water bore. Some site prep(??) visible on google earth but not Sentinel is puzzling. Also the reverse.
PM1-3 target
Magnetically related targets. Formational? Mix of gravity and mag. Wilki formation?? Not my most favorite type of target in the Paterson but definitely worth a few holes as the left field targets can be the ones that deliver the goods.
=========
Geo1 - Rizzo.
Base GE with site prep interpretation to 14th.
INTERP with some sites up to 30+m across and accuracy issues as well. Gets tricky with this density of drilling to pick which are the new sites so DYOR.
The main drilling at Geo1 is 600m (~NE-SW) by 200+-. If holes are drilling grid W (c238 deg) then what is the target? See below for folding issues.
Data dump with all prior drilling in MY database with interpreted folding in outcrop to NE.
I have mentioned visible folding in the outcrop to the NE before as a possible complication in how to target mineralisation in Geo 1. In the SW of this image is an interpreted margin of the Minyari Granite which further adds to local complexity and perhaps some more structure. Issues like these have meant Minyari has, and is, taken some 50 years to get to this stage where new zones are still being discovered.
No answers on what is going on from me but the drilling will show what it shows.
GCY ran into problems and is now Spartan.
"Beyond the black stump of exploration" came Never Never with a minuscule footprint
that has plunged down some 1 Km, changing the outlook dramatically. An earlier pit almost included NN and previous drilling missed it (don't know that for sure).
Anyway a good example of why geos remain optimistic.
==============
No activity seen at T12 or elsewhere at Minyari....yet.
