Not unexpected that results from these holes are underwhelming for grade and thickness. Statistically so anyway.

Some poorly organised snips from the history of Havieron discovery in this PDF. Nearly one that got away, Initially did for NCM which makes it difficult to walk away even when results don't seem too encouraging.

What next? Down hole geophysics?, more surface geophysics? Lithogeochemistry and vectoring from that, ??. Any follow up has to deal with 400+ vertical meters of cover and associated high costs.

First holes from NCM in 1990s


Another hole in 2003 had alteration only and NCM ended up dropping the property.

Hit and miss for these 11 holes into a much more focused target than PM 1 and 2.

Difficult to justify more such deep, expensive drilling without some improvement in targeting IMO. Perhaps similar to RM's comment about Tetris. These holes do appear more encouraging than NCM's test of similar mag/grav targets in the 1990's in the Havieron north area.


Only, what became Havieron, had interesting results...at the time. [Didn't see the assays]

I often trot this selection out from a prescient (in hindsight) author from the late 90's


Spotted this compilation while digging out data. Limited interest but easy to add

==============================

Constant sniffs of mineralisation in the Paterson, along with a few raging fires, will keep explorers occupied for a long time IMO.

I checked Sentinel's most recent pass for Minyari and Parklands without much expectation of activity. There wasn't any I saw.
