Three Kings Platinum
In April 2006 Impala Platinum of South Africa (Implats) withdrew from the Joint Venture
with De Grey for the exploration of the Three Kings Platinum Project, which is located in the Turner River Province. Implats spent approximately $800,000 on exploration in the area but does not retain an ongoing interest.
Exploration activities for PGE mineralisation were concentrated largely at the Joshua, Joshua East, Abraham and Jacob Prospects over a 4.5 kilometre strike length. Drilling focused on delineating the continuity of a pyroxenite - peridotite contact and associated PGE mineralisation both along strike and down dip. Significant PGE (PGE = Pt+Pd+Au) mineralisation was intersected at the Joshua East Prospect with drill hole IERC46 intersecting 14 metres @ 1.32 g/t PGE from 58 metres depth. Similar widths and grades of PGE mineralisation to IERC46 have been intersected along strike at Joshua with,
- IERC04 intersecting 6 metres @ 1.58 g/t PGE,
- IERC05 intersecting 15 metres @ 1.39 g/t PGE,
- IERC15 intersecting 6 metres @ 2.01 g/t PGE
and at Abraham,
- IERC32 intersecting 7 metres @ 1.71 g/t PGE.
Data from the Impala Joint Venture has been consolidated and reviewed, the project is now available for Joint Venture.
