Bamps hey, good to see something of use to read on the board, thanks.
Been having a good read of this document, full of useful information.

Ernest Giles
Upto 2014 Ggp carried out 4 MMI surveys
In the far NE Empress a very long area NW-SE
To the West of Empress is Wishbone
To the SW of Wishbone is Dromedary in the north of Peterswald
To the south of Peterswald in Calanchini is Welstead
A lot of mineralisation nothing that stands out but the consistently moderate figures of Molybdenum readings in all 4 zones of 2 to 6 ppm and one spot in the N of Empress of 18.5ppm.
Also consistent readings of silver, platinum, palladium , nickel and zinc
Wishbone had the highest concentration of gold readings and was classed as a high priority drill target
The 4 holes were at Peterswald
EG001, 002, 004,006
Conclusion and Recommendations
EL38/2204 Peterswald Hill is located in central Western Australia approximately 250km north-east of the town of Laverton, and formed the central parts of the Company’s Ernest Giles project. The tenement covers some 45 strike kilometres of Archean greenstone covered by recent desert sand and Proterozoic shale and dolomite. The company’s main focus was gold mineralisation, however other styles of mineralisation are present within the licence area.
Work completed during the reporting period comprised research of previous exploration activities, reprocessing of geophysical data sets, compilation and review of data, geological reconnaissance, acquisition and imaging of detailed aeromagnetic data, MMI sampling, diamond drilling and reverse circulation drilling along with rehabilitation of drill sites.
Compilation and review of data resulted in several target areas being defined for further inspection. Three areas were selected for MMI sampling and four drill targets were generated.
MMI sampling returned a maximum of 6.6ppb gold in the south of the project area with subdued result elsewhere in the tenement.
A drilling program was completed during the period. The drill program comprised two vertical diamond holes for a total of 712.3m and a reverse circulation drilling program of two vertical holes for a total of 648m.
Targeted Archaean greenstone was not intersected in either of the RC holes. Targeted Archaean greenstones were intersected in both diamond holes along with sulphide mineralisation and quartz veining beneath variable thicknesses of younger cover rocks. Archaean basement was found to be at variable depths of 328m and 269m. The highest gold result returned was 1.0m at 50ppb and other anomalous gold results were reported.
Drilling has discovered a very large new mineralised greenstone belt. However results show Archean basement rock and gold mineralization to be encountered at depths too great to warrant further exploration at this time.
Newmont has an NDA agreement with GGP. from 2017/18. Is anyone aware if this agreement has a time limit and, if so, when it is exhausted? I've always thought that the agreement must have signified that there was something of interest there, to which Newmont may have wished to return at a later date; no longer likely with the success of the JV with Newcrest. Stay Safe.

Ernest Giles Project (gold), Central Western Australia - Greatland 100%
- Further results from drilling activities at the Ernest Giles gold project in Western Australia. Drilling confirmed the presence of a gold mineralised system
- Completion of four reverse circulation (RC) holes
o Highest result returned was 1m at 1.28g/t gold from 149m
I believe these were at Peterswald Hill
From Dip’s transcription of SD presentation
In terms of the overall portfolio again, we want to invest in this, we want to invest in the drill bit and we also want to be disciplined managers of our portfolio and we want to keep adding good quality assets that can compete for drilling budget with Havieron.
- Ernest Giles is top of that list, really excited about getting in there and we do need to get the access agreement done with the first nations. I’ve been working on that over the last six months and that's progressing well so we would like to think we've a chance to be drilling that next year and again great option value but we'll also be spending time on Panorama in the 12 months ahead

CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (CRA) completed a 300m line spaced aeromagnetic survey over the Robert 1:250,000 map sheet during 1996, presumably in search of discrete magnetic anomalies over kimberlite pipes. This survey indicated the presence of a large greenstone belt beneath the cover of recent sand plain and other cover.
WMC Resources Ltd Exploration (WMC) explored an area, coincident with most of the current project area, over three years from 1996-1999 (Baltis, 1997 and 1998, and Bongers and Dare, 2000). Their efforts were part of a regional initiative by WMC which involved exploration of the relatively unexplored eastern greenstone sequences of the Yilgarn Craton, some covered by Permian and Recent sediments, for gold mineralisation. These greenstone belts were attractive exploration areas, due to their unexplored nature, their gold prospectivity, and the fact that large contiguous areas within them were available, with the potential to host world class deposits. The initiative included three projects; Minigwal (Stephens, 2003), Yamarna (Berg, 2000), and Ernest Giles (Baltis, 1997 and 1998, and Bongers and Dare, 2000). The exploration successfully identified multiple gold targets within each project, and confirmed the prospectivity of each greenstone belt (Figure 2). WMC curtailed all gold exploration in Western Australia in the late 1990s and surrendered tenure over the Ernest Giles area.
WMC work at Ernest Giles included geophysics, geochemistry, and RC drilling. An aeromagnetic survey was flown over the southern half of the project area. The survey was flown at a mean height of 60m on 200m-spaced east-west lines. It was designed to provide sufficient detail to define lithological and structural target areas. Ground gravity readings were collected over the project area to better define the location of the buried greenstone belt. Geochemical sampling was completed in varying detail over the project area, with greatest density in the south. Three Yilgarn gold-camp scale target areas were defined, based on lithology interpreted from aeromagnetic data, geochemical response, and interpreted structural features: Grassy Meadows in the south, and Calanchini and East Calanchini further north. Depth modelling of the aeromagnetic data suggested cover, over the greenstone basement, of the order of 80m to 120m over the Grassy Meadows Prospect, but in the vicinity of 300m over Calanchini and East Calanchini. Seven RC holes were drilled at Grassy Meadows and one at Calanchini. Best results were 4m at 35ppb gold from 172m in Archean BIF, and 4m at 67ppb Au from 176m in mafic volcanic.
Archean basement was definitely intersected in one drill-hole (RC7), at a depth of 170m. The lithologies were BIF, basalt, fine-grained siliceous sediment, and chlorite-amphibole ultramafic. WMC’s report is unclear as to whether or not Archean rocks were intersected in RC1 and RC4 as well. One table indicates that RC1 bottomed in argillite to a depth of 204m
