Forrest
80% Auris, 20% Westgold
The Forrest Project is located 6km south along strike from Westgold's Starlight VHMS intersection, comprising equivalent stratigraphic position to Horseshoe Lights Cu-Au deposit.
The project is host to a total JORC Compliant Copper Resource comprising Forrest and Wodger deposits of 2.4Mt at 1.7% Cu for 41,500t Cu metal, with copper mineralisation at Forrest and Wodger deposits remains open down dip and plunge.
Structural review of the Forrest Project, incorporating recent data collected from diamond drilling in progress to assist with future targeting
Forrest Deposit
Discovered in 2014 through re-assaying of gold focused drilling
RC and diamond drilling significant intercepts include;
- FGDD001: 9.65m @ 5.00% Cu and 1.91g/t Au from 142.4m
- FGDD003: 9.55m @ 2.25% Cu and 0.66g/t Au from 204.1m
- FPRC022: 11m @ 4.83% Cu and 1.18g/t Au from 76m
- FPRC029: 33m @ 1.25% Cu from 276m
