Here is a partial listing of available mineral resources in the Paterson. - The list goes beyond areas available to Telfer plus some other commodities.
Both Havieron and Minyari have shown their true colours in the last decade and become early development options to near mines.
Will renewed focus on some have similar results? Perhaps but the clock is fast running out of time for Telfer if some 24 mtpa are required to keep it going at full capacity.
====================
RM mentioned field work had begun at Minyari in his talk so took a look on Sentinel.
It has with some upgrades/new access tracks and possible site preparation.
Time lapse
Jan- June semi monthly to give background to recent changes. There has been a lot of cloud cover over north central WA in the last few months so images can be few and far between.
Not easy to tell if extra work is going on in the Minyari main area. Not much need for any IMO, other than a few infill holes that may have been flagged by the MRE models.
Site rehabilitation may account for some of the apparent/real disturbances with perhaps some DHEM (not that that would leave much trace)
The main areas interpreted are on this 14 6 image.
On Google Earth Lime green are possible additions - accuracy +-25m for a-e, schematic for upgraded grid lines.
5 possible sites prepared with A possibly drilled already.
A and B direct tests under (Sundown if real and probably are IMO).
C is very subtle but would make sense as a step out to the north, along strike hopefully, of Sundown.
D is on/very close to the 2021 hole 340 (drilled -60 @ 147 azi(SSE) to 432m - 207m @ 1.5g/t Au). A steep/sub vertical hole here would test the down plunge trend of the main breccia zone.
Arm waving on this but somewhat reasonable as a target with the IP target needing testing. Maybe even drill NNW to 1Km or more??
E is a blip next to 2021 hole 306. Plots 15m away which is within my error limits of transposing data Sentinel to GE. There is definitely some recent visual activity at this site though what that is remains a mystery to me. Have the final results for GP01 drilling been released? I suspect they were amongst the 6440m reported 'pending' in the last quarterly. Haven't noticed these results being announced? Anyone seen them? 8 MONTHS!
If this is a drill hole based on 'pending' assays it could be a positive.
=================
May be more - or less -
Didn't see any activity around Min N to Judes or WACA....yet.
Focused on Minyari main.
