Mineralisation in the Telfer district comprises large low grade bulk tonnage sheeted vein and stockwork quartz-pyrite-Au-Cu systems (Telfer), stratabound Au-Cu (Telfer), granite related replacement, vein and skarn AuCu (Minyari), structurally controlled diapiric carbonate breccias (Hasties, Grace) and low order disseminated CuAu greisens (17 Mile Hill).

The Company believes that there is significant potential for the discovery of other major metal deposits in the area.

Chicken Ranch

Shallow aircore drilling at Chicken Ranch has further highlighted the extensive nature of gold mineralisation in the area. Deeper RC drilling has revealed gold mineralisation associated with both sub-vertical lenses of ferruginous material with brecciated quartz and sub-horizontal lower grade zones which extend laterally for several hundreds of metres.

Immediately west of the main Chicken Ranch zone of gold mineralisation lies the recently discovered Southern Corridor gold-base metal anomaly. This zone of anomalous gold and base metals extending for over 2 kilometres was discovered in late 1999 from the regional geochemical drilling programme. A first pass round of aircore drilling over the anomaly defined a wide zone of anomalism and included an intersection of 14 metres @ 1.77 g/t gold. Further drill testing of the anomaly is planned.

Tim’s Dome

Tim’s Dome is situated just 15 kilometres northwest of the Telfer Main Dome and hosts lithologies similar to those observed at the Telfer mine. Much alteration and extensive low grade gold mineralisation occurs for over 4 kilometres at Tim’s Dome.

Recent re-evaluation by Normandy on Tim’s Dome has resulted in the selection of specific areas to be targeted for drill testing for Telfer style stratabound gold-copper mineralisation.
