RE:So we have almost 350m of Below shallow skarn alteration, TRDD022 intersected a thick interval of equi-crystaline monzodiorite from 376m to 723m depth, which was expected from the geological model (Figures 4, 5 and 6). Notable and positive indicators include:
-
Multiple felsic intrusions, with: (1) an early monzodiorite, cut by (2) quartz-monzodiorite and in turn by (3) later aplite dykes – see Figure 7 (a);
-
Presence of epidote-garnet-magnetite-pyrite skarn assemblages filling fractures cutting monzodiorite, occurring as endo-skarn associated with these intrusions;
-
Observation of intense red alteration of monzodiorite interpreted to be representing outer potassic (K-spar) alteration along the margins of a monzodiorite stock (petrology studies proposed) - see Figure 7 (b);
-
Sulphide mineralisation and quartz veining - see Figure 7 (c); and,
-
A deeper level garnet-magnetite skarn hosted by andesite volcanoclastic rocks.
