GOLD TARGETS IDENTIFIED – HAVIERON / TELFER PROJECT
Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN), the London listed precious metals trading and exploration
company, advises that it’s independent geological consultants in Australia, Terra Search Pty
Ltd (“Terra Search”), have identified four magnetic targets of considerable size covering
2.4km by 400m on its Patersons Range Project in the Havieron and Telfer region of Western
Australia. Significantly, these targets are much shallower than the Havieron discovery, with
the top of the magnetic targets ranging from 150m to 250m below surface.
In addition, Wishbone advises that it has now completed its legal and technical due diligence
on the Patersons Range Project tenements and will now move to close the acquisition on
the terms announced on 5th October 2020.
Terra Search, who have considerable exploration experience in the nearby Havieron gold
discovery, have concluded a technical review on the 57.4km2 tenement EL 45/5297, which
comprises a major part of the 67km2 tenement package being acquired. EL 45/5297 is
located only 13 km south-west of Newcrest Mining’s Telfer Gold Mine and about 60 km west
of Newcrest and Greatland Gold’s Havieron discovery.
Terra Search concluded:
• Modelling of the available Government magnetics by independent geophysics
consultants, Terra Resources, shows several north plunging magnetic bodies of
equivalent susceptibility (possibly pyrrhotite alteration) to those evident at both the
Havieron discovery and Rio Tinto’s Winu discovery in the Patersons Range area.
• The four main magnetic targets cover an area of 2,400m x 400m, which when
compared to the ~500m x ~300m Havieron footprint, is a significant potential target
zone.
• Depth to the shallowest feature on the tenement is estimated to be at ~150m below
surface. The deepest feature is interpreted to be ~250m below surface.
• The Permian cover in the area, is estimated to be around 100m in depth on E45/5279
compared to the ~400m Permian cover at Havieron
