Eveleigh-EPM 13744
HIGHLIGHTS

  • Target is intrusive related large scale tonnage Kidston style deposit.
  • Identified gold mineralisation associated with quartz sericite rocks.
  • Metal minerals associations at the Kelly’s End prospect are similar to Kidston style gold deposits.
  • QGM proposes to carry out BLEG and pan concentrate stream sediment sampling of previously unsampled areas, and geochemical soil and rock sampling, geological mapping and petrographic studies on the Kelly’s End Prospect.
  • This will be followed up by RC drilling on the Kelly’s End prospect and/or a major epithermal vein.

Eveleigh contains small alluvial gold and tin deposits that were mined in the past. Recent exploration has defined substantial gold from initial surface sampling in an area where hydrothermally altered rocks, extending over 3 km2, were previously tested for tin and base metals. The alteration and metal signature indicate an Intrusive-Related Gold System.

A 6 hole initial drilling programme was completed earlier in the year with holes 3 & 6 in different alteration zones on the property intersecting low grade gold mineralisation over significant widths:-

Hole 3 10m @ 0.18g/t Au
Hole 6 13m @ 0.11g/t Au


The association of this mineralisation with elevated levels of other related metallic elements gives a strong geochemical signature to the alteration zones tested, and follow-up drilling is planned.
