Airborne Magnetic Data Extends IOCG Potential at Milo, Brightlands
Copper‐Gold Project, North‐West Queensland
3D modelling of airborne magnetic data for the Milo IOCG Prospect area has
increased the potential for mineralisation to extend beyond the recently
released initial exploration target of between 30Mt and 80Mt within a grade
range of 0.8% and 1.2% Cu equivalent.
Key points from initial examination of this model in conjunction with other
available data are;
- Model shows the magnetic feature associated with Milo mineralisation
extends further to the South East and North West.
- Initial field inspection has confirmed that alteration and mineralisation
does extend to the south east.
- Magnetite (likely source of magnetic anomalies) shows a general
correlation with copper mineralisation in data available from drilling
completed to date.
- Drill testing of this area may result in an increase to the recently
released initial exploration target of between 30Mt and 80Mt within a grade
range of 0.8% and 1.2% Cu equivalent.
- The Milo area appears to be part of a large semicircular magnetic feature
containing several other magnetic highs which require follow up field
work.
Australian resources company GBM Resources Limited (ASX:GBZ) ("GBM or "the
Company") has received positive results from the airborne magnetic survey
,that continues to support the Milo prospect at its Brightlands Copper Gold
Project in North‐West Queensland has potential to be a large Iron
Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) system to be hosted within the extensive breccia
developed in the prospect area.
GBM commissioned a detailed low level (40m terrain clearance) airborne
magnetic survey in the second half of 2010 over the northern section of the
Brightlands project area to assist in geological interpretation and target
definition.
Data from this survey has been incorporated into a 3D Inversion
to produce a model that best represents the magnetic properties of rocks in
the Milo Prospect area to assist in interpretation and target generation
following the successful drilling program completed in 2010.
The 3D Model shows the magnetic feature associated with Milo mineralisation
extends further to the South East and North West‐ demonstrating the
potential to increase the initial exploration target size.
Highlights from the 4 hole diamond program released to the ASX on 14
December 2010 are below:
Results from recently completed diamond drill program of 1600m at Milo
Prospect confirmed potential for a large Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG)
system to be hosted within the extensive breccia developed in the prospect
area.
- Significant results ‐ BTD024: 107m @ 0.8% Cu equivalent including
37m @1.1% Cu equivalent
- BTD025: 86m @ 0.8% Cu equivalent including 27m@ 1.2% Cu equivalent and
18m @ 1.3% Cu equivalent.
- Initial Exploration Target of 30 to 80 million tonnes within a grade
range of 0.8% and 1.2% Cu equivalent.
- Drilling program confirms consistent mineralisation over broad intervals
with significant results for copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, cobalt and
uranium.
- The Milo IOCG mineralising system remains open both at depth and along
strike which suggests potential for future increases in exploration target
size.
- Drilling to date supports that Milo has the potential to be a large
breccia hosted, poly‐metallic IOCG system.
The forward program at the Milo prospect will commence after the normal
North‐West Queensland wet season (approximately March 2011) and will
involve:
- Drilling to test the depth and the strike of the current work area to
confirm and or expand the initial exploration target size of 30‐80
million tonnes grading between 0.8% to 1.2% Cu equivalent,
- Drill test the magnetic high that sits alongside the current work area,
- Complete a step‐out drill program over the 2km strike to confirm
Milos mineralizing potential, and
- Complete metallurgical test work to provide indicative recovery data for
a project scoping study.
- The results from this program would provide the basis for resource
drilling to follow.
The Milo Prospect at the Brightlands Cu Au Project remains the Companys
primary focus.
The T2 prospect at Tiger will be progressed along with other
exploration targets during 2011.
