Top Camp- ML 2764, ML 2785, ML 2786 & ML 2792
HIGHLIGHTS

  • Located in the Mt Isa Eastern Fold Belt which has developed in recent decades into a world class province for Iron Oxide Copper Gold Deposits such as Ernest Henry, Eloise, Starra and Osborne.
  • Target is an Ernst Henry iron oxide copper gold model.
  • Project covers a geology anomaly, a large magnetic anomaly, and an alluvial/eluvial gold field.
  • The Top Camp project area was historically the largest gold producer in the Cloncurry field.
  • QGM propose semi-regional geological mapping and interpretation together with magnetics interpretation. This will be followed up by RC and diamond drilling.

Top Camp was historically the first and largest Au producer in the field and is a large alteration zone covering about 3 km2. Previous explorers achieved some minor drill intersections. Methods including magnetics, soil and rock outcrop geochemistry have produced multiple magnetic anomalies and soil anomalies. Recent systematic excavation and gold nugget discovery by electronic detection suggest that hard rock gold and copper targets with subtle surface expression may be a source that has not received previous attention.
