Munro Bore and Banderol Fault Junction and Current Drilling The last great discovery at Burnakura was the NOA 1-8 pits which was based on the same geomagnetics as is now the case for the three new targets....Banderol South, Munro Bore extension and Junction ...plus additional new information from 3D geologic model
Target - Banderol South and Junction
Interpretation of the detailed aeromagnetic data over the Burnakura has enabled Monument to identify a secondary north-south structural splay deviating off the regional northeast trending BSZ. The orientation of this splay coincides with structural orientation of mineralized quartz veins within the Banderol open pit. The trend is interpreted to continue south from the Banderol open pit and is bounded by granodiorite to the west and a sequence of Archean Greenstone rocks consisting of felsic volcanics and mafic/ultramafics to the east (Figure 5).

The known mineralized NE-SW structural zone extending from the deposit at Munro Bore is interpreted to intersect the N-S structure further south at the Junction target where an E-W trending magnetic high is observed (Figure 6). As the Greenstone lithologies approach the E-W trending magnetic high to the south and approach two granodiorite bodies they are interpreted to be dragged and deformed potentially creating extensional dilatational zones within the favorable host lithologies.
The Junction target area is structurally complex which increases the potential for fracturing and related gold bearing quartz vein formation. A regolith development of extensive sheet wash cover obscures the Archaean basement rocks and inhibits the use of surface geochemistry in this area. A sequence of AC drill holes are planned to assist in better defining basement geology and identify gold mineralization beneath cover.
