Drilling of BH3DD009, BH3DD010 and BH3DD011 shows three broad mineralised zones that are accompanied by visual evidence of stibnite (a sulphide of Antimony). Relating to figure 1, orientated drill core shows that quartz mineralisation is bedding parallel in Zone 1 and Zone 2, oblique to bedding in Zone 5 and hosted in brittle faults between Zone 3 and Zone 6. Best intercepts from all three holes suggests the best gold developments have formed where structures are favourable to dilate adjacent to structures that compress and pinch as seen at 55m depth in BH3DD011. Stockwork veining and oblique structures to bedding also relate spatially to elevated gold values as seen in Zone 5 in BH3DD011 and the stockwork veining in BH3DD009. At the goldfield level of scale, there is a close spatial development of such structures within the acute angle of intersecting NNW and NE striking veining where a ‘wrench’ or dilational ‘jog’ develops. This pattern is also observable and outlined in plan view by the numerous historic mined trenches and pits across the HR3 goldfield. Information gleaned from drilling this first drill section may also apply to other similar lineation trends across the field.
Antimony Sulphide
This compound has a variety of uses, including non-asbestos friction material for brake and clutch linings, fireworks and other pyrotechnics, camouflage paints, pigments in ruby glass, and photoconductors. Crude antimony sulfide is obtained from mining operations.
