Beyondie Base Metals - Copper Hills Prospect
- Previous exploration in the early 1970's identified a 7km long copper and zinc soil anomaly on the northern edge of an east-west orientated outcrop of chlorite-sericite altered schist. Follow-up wide-spaced trenching and drilling at the time returned up to 4.6m at 4.34% copper in trench MPB and 9.1m at 1.01% copper in hole PW07 from a sericite alteration zone.
- Reconnaissance rock chip sampling completed by De Grey in 2005/2006 returned 2.6% copper gold and 0.65g/t gold from gossanous breccias within the highly foliated schist.
- In April 2007 De Grey reported drill results from its first RC drill program at Copper Hills, the figure below shows these results. These early results confirmed the occurrence and style of copper mineralisation at Copper Hills.
- An orientation soil sampling program has been completed over the known mineralisation in preparation for a more widespread regional survey. The Archaean schist that hosts the copper anomalism at Copper Hills extends untested for an additional 6km along strike to the west and 18km to the east within De Grey's Beyondie Project.
- Seventy-nine RAB-aircore holes drilled in late 2007 on wide-spaced lines have extended the Copper Hills anomaly to more than 10km strike length and it currently remains open to the east and west.
