Anketell Gold Copper Project Magnetic Modelling

 

Patersons Range, Western Australia

 

 

Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN, AQSE: WSBN), is pleased to announce it has completed a 3D magnetic inversion model on the Anketell Gold-Copper Project (Figures 1-3) on which the company has taken an option. The Anketell Gold- Copper Project is located ~85km north of the Company's Red Setter Gold-Copper Project in the Patersons Range area in Western Australia.

 

Highlights:

· A clear magnetic feature, interpreted to a possible late stage intrusion, indicated by the magnetic modelling shows a higher intensity target around 500m in diameter, within an overall target area 1km in diameter. This starts less than 100m below surface

· The target has not been tested by drilling previously

· This presents a compelling drill target based on regional mineralisation models from recent discoveries in the area

· Antipa- Rio Tinto JV Ground surrounds tenure to north and west and FMG Metals Group Ltd to the south

· Antipa Citadel Project Farm in by Rio ($60M to earn 75% of Project)

· Located 80km to the north of Newcrest's Telfer Gold-Copper-Silver Mine and 40km to the east-south-east of Rio Tinto's Winu discovery

 

Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman, commented, "The results of this magnetic modelling provide a compelling drill target at a shallow depth. This due diligence work indicates the Anketell discrete bullseye magnetic feature, that is similar to other known mineralised features in the district, definitely warrants drill testing."

The Anketell Project is located 80km to the north of Newcrest's Telfer Gold-Copper-Silver Mine and 40km to the east-south-east of Rio Tinto's Winu discovery within the highly prospective Paterson Province.

The Project consists of a single exploration licence application E45/ 6198 covering an area of ~10km2. The application was subject to a ballot between seven companies including Greatland Gold PLC and FMG Metals Group Ltd.

The Project is located within the northeast portion of the Proterozoic Paterson Province. Basement geology is dominated by the late Proterozoic Yeneena Supergroup which unconformably overlies the earlier Proterozoic Rudall Metamorphic Complex and the Archaean Pilbara Craton.

The Yeneena Supergroup has been intruded by Proterozoic (650 - 620Ma) granitoids of the Minyari and Mt Crofton Suites. The Mt Crofton Suite represent fractionated I-Type granites, being largely undeformed, weakly oxidized and magnetite - ilmenite bearing. High background uranium and thorium contents are also reported from the Suite. The Minyari Suite is less fractionated and rarely appears magnetic.

Permian fluvio-glacial Paterson Formation sediments (less than 100m thick within the Project leases) unconformably overly the Proterozoic stratigraphy. These Permian sediments extend into the Canning Basin further to the east.

Significant gold, copper and uranium mineralisation has been discovered in the Paterson Province with two world class deposits (Telfer and Nifty) currently being mined, with the latest world class discoveries of Havieron and Winu advancing towards mining.

The 26Moz Telfer Gold Mine is located within 15km of outcropping Mt Crofton I-Type granite rocks. Stratigraphically the deposit is hosted by the Telfer Formation, an intercalated sandstone and siltstone sequence, sandwiched between the Puntapunta Formation and the underlying Malu Quartzite. The Formation is exposed within two doubly plunging anticlines termed the Main and West Domes. Mineralisation is epigenetic and occurs within quartz-sulphide carbonate saddle reefs and stockwork in prepared dilational sites caused by flexural slip along rheologically contrasting bedding planes within the Telfer Formation.

The Nifty Copper Mine (~1 Mt copper metal) is situated 70km west of Telfer. Mineralisation is epigenetic and stratabound, hosted by silicified carbonate and shale near the base of the Broadhurst Formation.

Wishbone signed an exclusive 90 day option to acquire the Anketell Project and has paid the vendors an option payment of £25,000. Wishbone completed the magnetic modelling as part of due diligence on the project. Assuming that Wishbone proceeds to acquire the project, Wishbone will pay cash consideration to the vendors (being Mining Equities Pty Ltd and David Lenigas) of £50,000 and issue the vendors 2,170,795 new ordinary shares (Acquisition Shares) at a deemed issue price of 14.75p being the mid-market price when the deal was agreed. This equates to £320,192.26.
