Geophysical Survey Data Highlights Potential Mineralised
Structures within the Annaburroo Gold Project in the Northern
Territory, Australia
Panther Metals PLC (LSE:PALM) ("Panther" or the "Company"), the
company focused on mineral exploration in Canada and Australia, is
pleased to announce it has sourced all historic ground and airborne
geophysical survey data over its wholly-owned Annaburroo Gold
Project ("the Project"), situated in the Northern Territory,
Australia. The Northern Territory has produced nearly 464 tonnes
(t) or 14.9 million ounces (Moz) of gold (Au), and there are
currently over 8,001 documented gold occurrences and a resource
inventory of a further 530 t (17 Moz) Au.
Highlights:
-- Panther engaged Core Geophysics (http://www.coregpx.com.au)
to review available airborne geophysical survey data, generate a
suite of updated imagery, conduct initial structural interpretation
and provide recommendations for future work.
-- Several major structures and linear features area identified
with the same north-east trend as the doubly-plunging anticlinal
structures within the prospective Annaburroo Dome.
-- The Annaburroo Dome has dimensions of 8.5km by 4km, while an
area in the south of the Project contains a 3.6km by 0.5km
structural target zone reflecting the same potential controls on
mineralisation as the Donkey Hill Gold Prospect.
-- Several strongly magnetic targets, associated with anticlinal
structures and faulted synclines delineated within the southern
portion of the exploration licence area all remain completely
untested.
Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The geophysical data processing and interpretation has
confirmed the presence of several extensive structural zones which
appear to control the distribution of known gold mineralisation. In
particular, a strongly magnetic target with dimensions of 3.6km by
0.5 km in the south of the licence has been determined as a key
area for follow-up work. In addition, a number of other targets
have been identified in this part of the licence, including a
faulted syncline with dimensions of 7km by 1.5km. The Company is
now considering flying a high-resolution airborne geophysical
survey which will specifically target the southern part of the
project area. This survey is currently scheduled to be flown in Q1
of 2021 and the geophysical contractors have been provisionally
engaged accordingly.
We expect to have a team on the ground conducting a field work
program and initial reconnaissance work on behalf of the company
during Autumn of 2020 at Annaburroo as we build our understanding
of the gold hosting structure and the unexplored, exciting
opportunity, presented on the southern end of the property".
Project Details
The Annaburroo Project ("the Project") comprises a single
granted licence (EL32140) covering an area of 149.8km(2) , located
105km to the southeast of Darwin, Northern Territory (Figure 1).
The Project is well-located near infrastructure and the Toms Gully
(20km away) and Rustlers Roost (27km away) deposits, which are
owned by China Hanking Holdings Limited. Toms Gully is a high-grade
underground mine containing 1.1Mt @ 8.9 g/t Au (0.3 Moz);
operations are expected to recommence in 2020/21. Rustlers Roost
contains 51Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au (1.6Moz) and is one of the largest gold
projects in the region. The Project is located within the
Palaeoproterozoic Pine Creek Orogen ("PCO"), which hosts over 250
gold occurrences and several operating gold mines.
The processed magnetic imagery highlights a number of major
structures and linear features, which can be traced across the
project area (Figure 2). The dominant lithostructural orientation
is north-east to south-west, which corresponds to the orientation
of several mapped faults and the trend of fold hinge zones.
The main mineral occurrence within the Project is the Donkey
Hill Gold Prospect which yielded high-grade gold from grab samples,
trenching and limited drilling (see Panther 2019 Company
Presentation). In more detail, several NE trending linear features
are able to be mapped and may provide control on the distribution
of gold mineralisation. These will be the focus of future
ground-based exploration work.
In addition, Uranex reported several high gold grades from
gossanous ironstone veins in the general area of Donkey Hill. As
such the magnetic stratigraphy and subtle localised anomalies
evident in the data, suggest the potential to identify additional
mineralisation.
The resulting processed imagery has provided updated insight
into the magnetic and radiometric responses within the project and
has been used to define major structures and features that may be
controlling gold mineralisation. The airborne electromagnetic data
requires further investigation to understand the potential response
from Donkey Hill style gold mineralisation and other prospective
metals within the project.
The aeromagnetic coverage over the southern half of the project
is poor with only 400m low level line spacing. Further
high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys over this area are currently
being planned to provide higher resolution datasets ahead of more
detailed interpretation and field follow-up.
