For those of you who think that we will have a Wafii sized deposit with the current drilling campaign.....
Think again!
Here is a Blast from the past
A report from harmony I think around 2005
• Mineralised boulders found by CRA in 1977
• Rock chip assayed 22g/tAu, 89g/tAg and 0.5% Pb
• Outcropping mineralisation found in 1979
• 1980-1982: ridge and spur sampling, mapping – Zone A
• Drilling commenced in 1983
• Full-suite geophysics undertaken in 1985
• 1988-1990 CRA / Elders Resources JV
• 1990: WR95 intersected 263m at 1.86% Cu - Golpu porphyry
copper discovered
Funnell, 1990; Tau-Loi & Andrew, 1998
Resource Evolution
• Total drilling (diamond+RC) to end 2004: 272 holes for 77,900m
• Drilled (mostly by CRAE) on nominal 50mx50m pattern
• Abelle completed 16 holes for 7,300m targeting Link Zone
• Progressive increase in resource with each drilling campaign
• 1999-2001: care and maintenance
• 2002: Aurora explored Malaria Zone and Northern Zone
• Link Zone discovered in 1997
• AGF briefly acquired project from CRA in 1998
• Harmony completed 70 RC holes for 13,200m – A, B Zones
And after all that work and all that time they had a Resource of 6 miil oz!!
GOA will be doing well if they manage to get a JORG of 2 mill/oz
