Overview of Scallywag Prospect
The Scallywag prospect lies approximately 6km west of the Havieron prospect within the
Havieron licence. The Scallywag prospect is located within E45/4701 and is 100% owned by
Greatland.
Scallywag is a large, elongate magnetic anomaly with a strike length of more than 6km. It is
interpreted to be a structurally deformed sedimentary dome feature under approximately
50-100m of cover. Geophysical programmes completed to date by Greatland include
reprocessing of existing 50m line spaced aeromagnetic data and collection of ground gravity
(400m x 200m).
MMI sampling over the Scallywag prospect was completed in late Q3 2018 at a sample
spacing of 400m x 200m (Figure 1). MMI results from Scallywag displayed discrete elevated
gold, copper, silver and arsenic MMI responses along the western parts of the target area
over a strike length of approximately 6km. Supporting pathfinder elements of cerium,
lanthanum, iron and lead were also coincident along this trend with several clusters of
samples displaying a strong multi element response. Highest results returned from MMI
sampling were 8ppb silver, 50ppb arsenic, 0.4ppb gold, 480ppb cerium, 2750ppb copper,
280ppb lanthanum and 240ppb lead. Response of certain groupings (or suites) of elements
over parts of the Scallywag target are similar to those that were seen in MMI sampling over
the Havieron prospect.
Greatland has planned 25 line kilometres of high-powered deep-sensing 2D IP across the
Scallywag prospect (Figure 2). The IP technique has the ability to detect disseminated
sulphide mineralisation like that seen at the Havieron prospect, and will also assist in
structural mapping and determining cover depth.
Ground gravity will also be collected at the Scallywag prospect (to close station spacing) and
across the remainder of the Havieron licence E45/4701 (with the exception of the 12 block
area within E45/4701 subject to the Farm-in Agreement with Newcrest). Approximately
1,580 gravity stations are planned at 400m x 200m spacing, which will in-fill gravity coverage
to 200m x 200m spacing across the Scallywag prospect itself. 3D modelling of the gravity and
aeromagnetic data will be completed and reviewed with IP profiles to determine drill
targets.
The ground gravity survey is currently expected to commence during August, and the IP
survey at Scallywag is expected to commence in September.
Will we see results from these surveys before the next Newcrest update???
