Access, site prep and probably drilling well underway at Green. One exploration line west of Caird noted as well.
Last 10 days of sentinel interp on Gravity base

Good coverage of Green becoming wider spaced to the east. Reasonable control on grid lines (say +-25m) with ends measured. Most internal sites were scaled as the nominal spacing was measured at around a near constant160m. Individual sites more schematic and grid lines are not always straight.

Green Detail

on gravity.

Holes EAL082 083 were reported to contain significant lengths of carbonatite (very low grade Nb2O5) but does suggest the Luni system could extend NE (and potentially blossom again -can hope anyway).

Magnetics

Not the best magnetic base, perhaps? Just to give an idea anyway.

On Google Earth

Does Luni extend NE towards Green? Certainly appears so with this drilling likely to show to what extent. Depth to potential zones will be a major finding.
The eastern most holes at Luni 105-108 all have +30m intersections of +0.3% Nb2O5 and up to 15m at 3.3% in 107 from 40m. This supports the southern dashed light blue trend.
Outcrop (Geol Survey mapped) shows gneiss to the north of Green.
[Note that the Falcon Survey did over fly Luni with the SE boundary shown above being a rough indication of how much might have been covered. This gives ENR an edge to follow gravity trends NE and NW from Luni.]

Time Lapse shows activity over the last 10 to 15 days.

================
Caird.
One line with wide spaced possible drill sites on the western margin of the gravity high tested in 2023. Mafic host shown to be cause for gravity anomaly. Why this line? Testing margin for a surprise????

Checking to see if any activity - None seen but this google earth image shows mapped and interpreted quartzite outcrops marginal to the zone of interest.

The Lake Mackay quartzite is not well dated but may be earlier than the carbonatite and main structures/faults. If accurate these outcrops place some constraint on where carbonatite might be found.
===============
Mawson drilling ongoing

Drill site most likely the black dot in the SE. Camp white spot to left side. Maybe a water bore or logistics hub at the bend off the main track.

Love your work as always @salpetie... I combined better mag image with your drill plan and geo interp with some obvious mag trends to show what the Green carbonatite might look like in detail?

Red dashed line looks like a structural-stratigraphic boundary between the Quratzite to the south in mag-low area, following the outcrop in sat image which also correlates with the south end of prepared drill fences. Suggests ENR interp of southern boundary of Green carb is the same. Used circular mag interp and northern end of prepared drill fences to interp the northern edge of Green Carb. Add it all together with ENR holes 81-83 in the west coming off the eastern end of Luni and the rough shape of Green Carb is drawn in solid black outline...

Transposing the yellow dashed outline of Luni into the Green Carb outline and the two carbs would have a very similar size, not dissimilar shape, joined by a thin necking between. I can seee why CHN and others bought into ENR before the drill season kicked off... Crean-Hurley has some hurdles to jump to lift into the realm of economic imo, and so does Green obviously, though the along strike nearology and size/shape certainly speak to Luni like upside.
