Ann: Cu-Ag-Au-Co Discovery Drilling Commenced at Tarraji-Yampi, page-56

The Ruins Dolerite seems to be the host to a variety of sulphide deposits.

Cu/Zn/Au/Ag at Orion and

Ni/Cu at Buxton IGO's JV property 40-50Km to the South East of Orion.



Simplified geology on geoview image. Old image with tenement details out of date though won't impact deposits shown.

Something special about the Ruins dolerite that allows a variety of mineral deposits. Vaguely recall a DRE geo (can't recall who) mentioning there was a competency contrast that enhanced fluid flow and subsequent deposition for deposits.

A question for academics as to why there appear to be such a division of Cu and Ni deposits. Perhaps only a factor of drilling and exploration to date rather than real with both types "VMS" and Ni/Cu throughout the Ruins??

Good for explorers to have multiple possible targets.

6m intersection at Dogleg.
Light patches (only 3 highlighted of a significant number) may be Ni bearing pentlandite. If they are I would expect good to very good grades along the lines of the massive sulphides intersect recently at Bookathana.

Good EM targets a lot of the time





The Ruins dolerite is quite extensive on DRE ground........
