Ann: West Arunta Project - Luni Drilling Update (Amended), page-16

Cloud cover for the last 3 sentinel satellite passes so no posts. Hopefully not too much rain and or lightning to delay drill progress. The new drilling shown means not much delays.

In lieu of Sentinel update some comments on the second tranche of 2024 Luni assays. Logistical comments rather than grades and continuity which look pretty good from a cursory skimming.

[ Image sequence: Base map to recently added to prepared sites then + October sentinel interp and finally full compilation/details]


Base plan from the announcement shows existing reported sites; new reported sites since 23/10 and holes completed in 2024 (grey). All the recently reported holes have been drilled vertically (Av depth ~99m ~2400m drilled).

Comparing the above with the 23/10 versions allows an estimate of what drilling has been completed over the last 3-4 weeks.


Grey sites completed with the majority of most recently interpreted sentinel sites having been drilled in the recent period (23/10 - 14/11)
Some sites have been re-visited multiple times which means the interpretations are not easy and hence not always reliable. The images above, and below, are therefore indications only and subject to final reporting by WA1. I.E. DYOR.

Sentinel and Google Earth imagery (to August) indicate more sites prepared (GE) and interpreted (Sent.). Some of the most recently interpreted Sentinel site show up as drilled. Especially along the southern margin of the NE zone.
Just prepared sites. See below for 'legend".



Recent drilling has been quite efficient. 25-30 holes - mostly RC but at least 8 diamond holes + ?sonic/AC.

Compilation of the above.

The above summarises a lot of what has happened to date. Putting the assays into context is a lot of work.

The two sections provided today show a "weak" gap in mineralisation on the SW-NE section line and separates the NE and SW zones of drilling. This gap is not barren and may firm up with further drilling. Just not as obviously high priority at present IMO and by WA1's actions to date.

The NS section was one I was planning to do manually. This easternmost drilling does have implications for ENR especially if continuity and be shown towards Green some 700m NE. I hope this is the case but suspect the more patchy Green style (if that's what it is) will kick in fairly soon.
