SUMMARY

Reprocessing and digitising of AGSO ground geophysical data has accuratelylocated four anomalies that require following up. The IP and EM anomalies are newor rediscovered prospects away from areas of known mineralisation.

Reinterpretation of the Johnnies Reward ground magnetic data shows that thepostulated source of the main JR dipolar anomaly is not the cropping out gossan butrather the down plunge extension of the magnetite pyroxenite unit which crops out asfootwall to the gossan with a surface strike length of 180 metres. To date only onedrill hole has tested the depth extent of the anomaly below 60 metres vertical depth(E058005). It intersected 21 metres averaging 1.06 grams/tonne Au within themagnetite pyroxenite unit.

Assay results from 219 shallow percussion holes (<4m) drilled by Magellan in 1967were digitised. The holes were accurately relocated in relation to the AMG. Thedetailed Magellan geological plans were digitised and redrafted to assist in producinga 1:5,000 scale geological map of the Johnnies Reward – Pinnacles area.

The Pinnacles copper workings produced an estimated 248 tonnes of handpickedore averaging 12.4% copper to 1968. The Pinnacles “Line of Lode” which hosts theworkings is a north-trending zone of anastomosing quartz veins 2.5km long up to240 metres wide. It attains its maximum width in the vicinity of the Ophir workingswhich is deemed the most prospective for possible down dip extensions of thesurface secondary mineralisation for primary sulfide copper-gold ore.

Geological and structural interpretation of aerial photography and Landsat/SPOTScenes has delineated a Transitional Alteration Zone up to 150 metres wide trendingnorthward from the Johnnies Reward gossan for 1.5km. The zone comprisesdiscontinuous pods of geochemically anomalous gossanous skarn hosted bysheared quartz-garnet-biotite-chlorite gneisses, calcsilicate and amphibolite and mayrepresent a hiatus between concluding volcanic activity and the onset of carbonatesedimentation. The zone is criss-crossed by frequent east west trending thrust faults,a major structural feature of the area and an important control on knownmineralisation.

A ring of gossans occurring at the intersection of a north easterly extension of ThePinnacles “line of lode” and an east west orientated thrust zone requires followingup.

1. INTRODUCTION

Flinders Diamonds Limited is a new diamond exploration company incorporated inSouth Australia on January 11, 2000. In keeping with company objectives EL 8489was purchased from Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd in July 2000 to test thediamond potential of the area. The transfer of the tenement was approved byNorthern Territory Department of Mines and Energy on November 12 this year. Nodiamond exploration has been undertaken by Flinders Diamonds Limited to datehowever the previous tenement holder, Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd hasconducted a program further testing the copper-gold potential of Johnnies Rewardand Pinnacles Prospects, the main areas of economic interest within EL 8489. Thisreport outlines details of the exploration program conducted during the currentlicense year.

2. LOCATION AND ACCESS

EL 8489 comprising 23 graticular blocks (73.6 square kilometres) is located 110kmnorth east of Alice Springs (Figure 1). Access is good via the Stuart Highway for45km then east for 55km along a formed beef road until Pinnacles Bore is reachedthen north for 10km along the Pinnacles – Mud Tank road. This road continues northfor another 20km connecting with the sealed Plenty Highway.

3. TENURE

EL 8489 was granted to Centralfield Minerals Pty Ltd on the 20th October, 1995 for 6years. It was transferred to Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd in March 1999 and wasthen on-sold to Flinders Diamonds Limited in July 2000. The transfer was ratified byNorthern Territory Department of Mines and Energy on November 12 this year. Adeferral of reduction was applied for and approved by Northern Territory Departmentof Mines and Energy in October. This being the second such deferral thus extendingthe term of the exploration licence by 2 years through to 2003.

4. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION AND MINING ACTIVITY

Historical 1889 - 1965

The Pinnacles copper gougings were discovered by a prospector in search of gold in1889. The copper mineralisation comprising malachite, chalcocite, bornite, traces ofazurite and chrysocolla, and rare cuprite and native copper occur as open spacefillings within quartz veins which also carry traces of gold, silver and bismuth. Blacktourmaline is also present as well as siderite gangue. It was not until 1942 however,that mining was commenced by P. Ciccone, who sunk two shafts 6 and 18 metresdeep to intersect a small quartz vein rich in chalcocite occurring at the contact of acalcsilicate unit and marble (refer Figure 11 for location). Estimated production until1948 was 50 tonnes averaging 20% copper.

After a 4 year hiatus K. Johannsen in 1952 opened up the Ophir South and Northgougings followed by Central No 2, which he worked until 1957. Production for theperiod is estimated at 20 tonnes averaging 20% copper (Figures 11, 11.3).

From 1964 to 1968 J Vitosky and others grubstaked by Reg Harris of Alice Springsrecommenced working the gougings opened up by K. Johannsen namely CentralNo. 2, Ophir North and South.

Central No. 2 is the largest working on the field comprising a horizontal drive or opencut 40 metres long by 6 metres wide by 12 metres deep trending north into the sideof a marble ridge following a zone of high density quartz veining which occurs at thesheared contact of calcsilicate and marble. One thousand five hundred tonnes ofquartz was mined and hand-picked resulting in an ore parcel of 33.5 tonnesaveraging 15.75% Cu and 2.9 ounces silver (Port Kembla Smelter records).

Other recorded production is as follows:

Ophir North 50.95 tonnes @ 9.26% copperOphir South 17.93 tonnes @ 5.27% copperUrals 7.25 tonnes @ 8.24% copperPolly Boy 22 tonnes @ 17.8% copper

Estimated production to the end of 1968 when mining concluded is 248 tonnesaveraging 12.4% copper. Of this total 21.6 tonnes averaged 2.9 ounces per tonne,silver. No further recorded mining activity has occurred since 1968.

The first geologist to visit the area was Sullivan (1942) who described themineralisation in Ciccone’s Shaft, followed by Jensen (1943) who thought thePinnacles copper ore was primary. In 1948 Enterprise Exploration Coy visited thecopper shows (Thomson, 1948). In 1952 Bell and Firman (Mines Branch Geologists)mapped Ophir and Ciccone's workings and came up with an inferred ore reserve to avertical depth of 6 metres of 100 tonnes of 20% copper and 9,000 tonnes of 5%copper. Two drill holes recommended by Bell (1952) were drilled but failed tointersect the main ore zone.

Youles (1964) carried out a geological reconnaissance of the general area afterrecommending a low level aeromagnetic survey upon inspecting Central No 2 Mineand Johnnies Reward Prospect. He also recommended drilling the largest gossan orironstone body located 500 metres north west of Central No. 2 as well as the workingitself to determine the depth of secondary enrichment (refer Figure 11). The drillingwas not carried out however but AGSO did fly an aeromagnetic survey over ThePinnacles – Johnnies Reward area in 1965. The total area flown was 147 sq.kilometres (980 line km) at a line spacing of 152 metres and an altitude of 80 metres(Tipper, 1996). The Pinnacles area was magnetically nondescript however a strongdipolar anomaly was delineated over Johnnies Reward.

In 1965 Geopeko established a grid over the Johnnies Reward gossan (Figure 10)covering 7.42Ha (2.74 line km) and carried out ground magnetic and self-potentialgeophysical surveys. They tested the resultant anomaly with one DDH to a depth of141 metres intersecting 17 metres averaging 0.45g/t Au and 0.26% Cu from 62.8metres down hole depth (Williams, 1965).

The Pinnacles

In the summer of 1967/68 K. McMahon and Partners Pty Ltd for Magellan PetroleumCorporation established a grid over the main Pinnacles workings (975 metres by2,926 metres, 285.28 Ha, 24.37 line kilometres; E-W traverses 122m apart) toundertake a detailed mapping program (Figure 10). The general area Pinnacles toJohnnies Reward was mapped at 1:12,000 while individual workings ie. Polly Boy –Ophir – Central No. 2 – Ciccone's – Urals were mapped at 1:2,400 using the grid orat 1:1,200 using a plane table. Johnnies Reward was also mapped at 1:1,200 usingthe Geopeko grid. The results of this very detailed mapping are incorporated inFigures 11 and 11.3. A ground magnetic survey was conducted over the alluvial flatnorth of Ciccone’s shafts (5.12 line km, readings every 27.4m, where significantstepping down to 9.14m). No anomalies resulted, magnetically the area is very flat.

A ‘cobra’ percussion drilling program was undertaken to test bedrock geochemistry.The dust was sampled over 0.60m to 0.91m intervals and analysed for Cu, Pb, Znand sporadically for Au, Ag, Bi by atomic absorption. Maximum hole depth was 3.65metres. A total of 219 holes were drilled (refer Figure 11, 11.1, 11.3 and 12 forlocation) for 830.28 metres of which 671 samples were sent for assay. 63 rock chipsamples were assayed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, Ag, Bi and Ni.

Four DDH’s were completed from the surface totalling 465.42 metres. Only 108samples were sent for assay. Of these 36 were from Pinnacles No. 1. (102.71m) witha best result from 3m to 9m of 1.4% Cu. Also from 43 to 91.4 metres the hole

averaged 476ppm Cu. Pinnacles No. 1 was drilled to test the Ophir North quartzveining at depth (refer Figure 11, 11.1 and 12 for location).

Thirty-three samples from Pinnacles No. 2 (101.5m) were assayed for no anomalousresult. It was designed to test for down dip extensions of the Ophir South nearsurface mineralisation. Thirty-one samples were assayed from Pinnacles No. 3(166.42m) with a best result of 5,842ppm Cu from 111.25m to 117.34m. The holewas designed to test the Johnnies Reward gossan however they failed to recognisethe plunging nature of the ironstone as the hole passed beneath it.

Only 6 samples were assayed from Pinnacles No. 4 (94.79m) designed to test fordown dip extensions of the Ciccone’s shaft mineralisation. No anomalous resultswere recorded.

Geophysics

During the winter of 1967 just prior to the commencement of the Magellan programAGSO conducted a number of ground geophysical surveys however the results ofthis program were not published until 1971 (Haigh, 1971). AGSO constructed 3 grids(Figure 10). The Geopeko Johnnies Reward grid was extended to cover 117.56 Ha(16.15 line km). The other grids were Pinnacles (288 Ha, 11.22 line km) over thearea of alluvial flats and the New Folly or Polly Boy grid (12.26 Ha, 3.22 line km). 8traverses away from the gridded areas (12.42 line km) were also surveyed.

Ground magnetic, IP and SP surveys were conducted over the entire JohnniesRewards Grid as well as 9 lines of EM, (3.29 line km). Coincident anomalies of all 4methods were delineated over the Johnnies Reward gossan. On traverse 4800N acoincident IP and EM anomaly was delineated which remains untested to date(Figures 10, 10.2 and 10.3).

Ground magnetic IP and SP surveys were conducted over the entire Pinnacles Grid.A broad IP anomaly was delineated which also remains untested (Figure 10).

EM and SP surveys were conducted over the New Folly Grid delineating an EManomaly over the existing workings. The EM anomaly was followed up with IPproducing a weak anomaly. This also remains untested (Figure 10).

Mapping and Sampling

In 1969 AGSO mapped the area of the 1965 aeromagnetic survey at a scale of1:22,500 (Shaw 1970), to assist interpretation of both AGSO geophysical surveys.Shaw’s report describes the copper workings and Johnnies Reward Prospectincorporating geochemical data from the Magellan program as well as the results ofthe ground geophysical surveys after Haigh, 1971.

From 1969-73 Stockdale Prospecting Limited conducted an extensive drainagesampling program over a 270 sq. km area which included EL 8489. Twenty-ninedrainage samples were collected from creeks draining the area of the EL for heavymineral analysis. A minus 80 mesh fraction was sieved off for geochemical analysishowever these were not assayed until 1988 (Marx 1974).

AGSO commenced mapping the Laughlen 1:100,000 sheet in 1968 through to 1974(includes the area of EL 8489).

A preliminary 1:100,000 scale geology map was published in 1979 followed by acoloured edition in 1984 titled “The Geology of the Strangways Range Region”.

After Stockdale departed in 1973 exploration ceased in The Pinnacles – JohnniesReward area until 1982 when ALCOA applied for EL 3026. Alcoa flew 480km² of1:20,000 coloured aerial photography centred on Johnnies Reward. They undertookseveral mapping episodes at various scales:

1:20,000 250km²1:5,000 18km²1:500 1.6km²

Eight rockchip geochemical traverses (3.5km), 251 rockchip samples analysed forCu, Pb, Zn, Au and Ag, 11 soil samples, and 34 petrology samples.

Drilling

Alcoa drilled 6 DDH’s for a total of 819.4m and sent 582 one metre samples to beassayed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au and Ag. Five of the DDH’s were collared at JohnniesReward to test the plunging surface ironstone. Best results were obtained in DDHE058-002 (50 metres @ 0.91ppm Au, 21 metres @ 1.0% combined basemetals [Cu+ Pb + Zn]) and E058-005 (32 metres @ 0.74ppm Au, 5.6ppm Ag.

In 1988 Tectonic Resources NL fire assayed (previously AAS only) the aboveintersections to increase the gold value average to 1.83 and 1.06ppm respectively.The 6th DDH was drilled at the Mark Hill Prospect 6.5km south of Johnnies Rewardfor negative assay results. ALCOA concluded from drilling there was a possibleresource of 500,000 tonnes averaging between 0.1 and 1.0ppm Au (CHUCK 1983,1984, 1985).

Soil and Drainage Sampling

In 1988 Tectonic Resources NL and DW ROBB established a new grid orientatedtrue north and south centred on the Johnnies Reward gossan. Total area griddedwas 79.75 Ha (18.57 line km), E-W traverses 40 metres apart with 20 metre stations,(refer Figure 10).

Six hundred and sixty-two soil samples were collected and assayed for gold only. 15RC drill holes (454 metres) were collared to test the resultant soil anomalies rangingfrom 10 to 100ppb gold (Figure 9, JR and JR North gold in soil results). The resultsof the drilling program were not reported to the N.T. Department of Mines andEnergy.

In 1992 Stockdale returned to the area to follow up anomalous gold results obtainedfrom –80 mesh splits from drainage samples collected during the 1969-73 regionalsampling program. The samples were XRF analysed for 36 elements. Out of the 29samples collected from drainages within EL 8489, 5 gave values ranging from 9 to17ppb Au upon resampling however these highly anomalous values after BLEG andAAS analysis gave values ranging from zero to 0.8ppb Au. Orientation BLEGsampling and analysis of the main drainage emanating from the Johnnies Rewardgossan showed that within a 100 metres values ranging from 0.8-1.0ppb Au wereobtainable while 500 metres down stream values reduced to 0.6ppb Au.

Twenty-seven sample sites were visited during this program with a minus 80 meshand BLEG sample taken from each one. A Co, Cu, Zn drainage anomaly was

Page 10: FLINDERS DIAMONDS LIMITED

delineated in the north west corner of EL 8489 (7443000N, 416700E) which remainsto be followed up (Stockdale, 1993).

Work Under Current Tenure

EL 8489 was granted to Centralfield Minerals Pty Ltd (the original titleholder) onOctober 20th, 1995. During 1996 the following work program was undertaken:

1. The Tectonic Resources NL grid was re-established.

2. CRAE Pty Ltd conducted a ground magnetic survey over the above grid on E-W traverses 40 metres apart using 10 metre stations (18.57 line km, 79.75 Ha),to further delineate the intense magnetic anomaly over the Johnnies Rewardironstone as indicated by the 1965 AGSO aeromagnetic survey (Tipper, 1966)and the subsequent follow up ground magnetic survey in 1967 (Haigh, 1971).

AGSO’s findings were confirmed and refined and a second intense but smalleranomaly was located over a gossanous skarn at JR North Prospect whichremains untested to date.

3. The grid was mapped at 1:1,000 scale partly to assist interpretation of themagnetic data (79.75 Ha).

4. Alcoa DDH’s E058002 and 005 were relogged.

The following program was implemented in 1997:

1. The 15 RC drill holes (454 metres) drilled by Tectonic Resources NL in 1988were relogged and resampled. Four hundred and nine samples were assayedfor Au, Cu, Bi and As with a best result of 15 metres averaging 1.04 gms/tonneAu and 0.81% Cu commencing from 5 metres down hole depth in hole JR5.

2. DDH Geopeko 1 was relogged confirming that only the magnetite pyroxeniteunit was sampled and assayed (44.8 to 79.86m). The best gold intersections inthe Alcoa DDH’s were in the footwall gneisses which occur below the magnetitepyroxenite unit therefore if possible the remaining 61 metres of the hole shouldbe assayed.

3. Johnnies Reward and JR North Prospects were mapped at 1:500 scale (15 Ha).

4. Pasminco conducted a minus 80 mesh drainage sampling orientation survey of8 samples within the EL. One sample (422091.76E, 7443076.41N) isanomalous for Sn (16ppm).

5. Two rock samples were thin sectioned and later described by Pontifex namelyJR2 and JR15.

The 1998 program comprised the following:

1. Forty-two rock chip samples were taken over the general area of JohnniesReward and The Pinnacles copper shows. They were assayed for Cu, Pb, Zn,Au, Ag, Bi, Sb, Mo, Cr. Twelve BLEG – 2mm drainage samples were taken fromcreeks draining the same area.

2. CRAE digital magnetic data was reprocessed delineating an arcuatedemagnetised zone on the western boundary of the grid.

3. The Tectonic Resources NL gold in soil data was digitised and reprocessed.

4. Landsat SPOT located digital MSS data was purchased for the entire Laughlenmap sheet area to assist in regional and local mapping and structuralinterpretation.

In early 1999 EL 8489 was transferred to Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd. Thefollowing program was undertaken:

1. The northern third of the main Johnnies Reward grid was extended 300 metresto the west (JR West grid 5.7 line km, 21.6 Ha. Figure 10).

2. Allender Exploration completed a ground magnetic survey over the JR Westgrid on E-W traverses 40 metres apart with continuous read-out ie. no stations(5.7 line km). The alluvial flat between Johnnies Reward and The Pinnaclesworkings was also magnetically surveyed on traverses 100 metres apart (14.98line km, 141.5 Ha). This survey partially overlaps the area of AGSO’s PinnaclesGrid (refer Figure 10).

The JR West survey delineated the westerly extent of the demagnetised zonehowever its prospectivity, if any has yet to be established. The alluvial flat(Airstrip grid) is magnetically flat.

3. The postulated demagnetised zone (JR West grid) was mapped at 1:500 scale.

4. Fifty-four rock chip samples were taken mainly on the footwall or westerncontact of the Johnnies Reward mineralised sequence and the demagnetisedzone. The footwall alteration halo of the JR North gossanous skarn was alsosampled. All rock chip samples were assayed for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Bi.

5. To assist regional structural interpretation and the possibility of more JohnniesReward analogues AGSO’s aeromagnetic data was digitised by AllenderExploration and reprocessed. No other regional dipolar magnetic anomalieswere delineated.

6. An OMNI STAR GPS Survey was undertaken to resolve ground location controldifficulties. The OMNI STAR system is accurate to 0.1 metres. Two hundredand seventy four points were logged over the JR-Pinnacles area. Only by usingthe OMNI STAR was it possible to accurately relocate the AGSO grids (Figure10) Even though they are 33 years old it was possible to relocate them becausethey had been very accurately surveyed into position originally ie. they werewhere they were supposed to be!

7. Nine rocks were sent to IR Pontifex for petrological description. The rocksamples were a representative section from footwall to hanging wall (west toeast) across the Johnnies Reward gossan sequence. From these he was ableto identify a north-south trending zone of greenschist facies retrogression about200 metres wide centred on the cropping out ironstone or gossan.

5. REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING

The Strangways Range area which includes EL 8489 is located within the EarlyProterozoic South East Arunta Block (Figure 7). EL 8489 falls within the CentralTectonic Zone of the Arunta Block comprising upper amphibolite grade metamorphicfacies rocks which have been assigned by AGSO (Shaw et al, 1979) to an informalunit called the Cadney metamorphics. This informal unit forms the upper part(youngest member) of the Strangways Metamorphic Complex, which in turn belongsto the oldest and most deformed group of rocks cropping out in the Arunta Block.

The Cadney metamorphics comprise marble, calcsilicates, felsic and mafic gneisses,quartzites and granitic gneisses. These lithologies are interpreted to represent aLower Proterozoic marine sequence of impure limestone, greywacke, variableterrigenous sediments and intercalated acid and basic volcanics.

Sedimentological evidence is scant but a deeper water basinal rather than a shelfdepositional environment is suggested (Chuck, 1983).

This volcano-sedimentary lithological package was first metamorphosed to upperamphibolite grade around 1800 ma. The area is structurally complex havingundergone at least two subsequent metamorphic events, throughout its long andconvoluted history culminating in the Devonian (350ma) Alice Springs Orogeny(ASO). The ASO is characterised by high density east-west orientated thrust faults(north over south) associated with zones of wide spread retrogressive green schistfacies metamorphism, as occurs at Johnnies Reward where thrust faults havechannelled gold-bearing metamorphically derived fluids to suitably preparedstructural traps where P and T conditions are such aided by the buffering effect ofalkaline carbonate rocks on mildly acidic ore fluids to precipitate economicconcentrations of gold out of solution. The amenability of gold to pass into solutionunder green schist facies thermodynamic conditions is well documented.

EL 8489 is part of AGSO’s Yambah Block a major tectonic unit bounded to the eastby the north west trending Woolanga Fault and to the west by the Pinnacles –Edwards Creek Fault which also strikes north west. It is bounded to the south by theWinnecke Thrust Zone and to the north by the Desert Bore Thrust Zone bothcontinental scale linear zones of crustal instability (refer Figure 7 for RegionalGeology).

6. 2000 PROGRAM

1. Magellan rock chip (63) and drill hole (219 percussion, 4 DDH’s) assay resultswere digitised and reprocessed to establish as accurately as possible groundlocations for each individual drill hole which were subsequently field checked.Drill hole location and results are plotted on Figures 11, 11.3, 12, 12.1 and 12.2.Refer Appendix 1 for a detailed listing of assay results.

2. Alcoa rock chip sampling results centred on Johnnies Reward gossan (30) weredigitised (Appendix 1 for listing).

3. All Magellan geological mapping was digitised and redrafted followed up by GPSground checking to ensure accuracy. The geology of The Pinnacles area(eastern half of Figure 11) is based on the original Magellan mapping which alsoincludes Figure 11.3 (OPHIR workings).

4. The ring of gossans area immediately west of Ciccone's Shafts was GPSmapped to accurately tie in the area to the Magellan plans and also the AMG(Figures 10 and 11).

5. AGSO ground geophysical survey data was re-evaluated. The relevant planswere digitised and redrafted using 1999 OMNI Star survey co-ordinates toaccurately locate and tie into the AMG the various grids ie. Johnnies Reward,Pinnacles, New Folly and the anomalies delineated (Figures 10, 10.2, 10.3).

6. The 1:20,000 scale colour aerial photography was obtained from ALCOA whoflew the area (480 km²) in 1982. The relevant frames were digitised (2) coveringJohnnies Reward and The Pinnacles copper shows. A detailed photo-structuralinterpretation was completed (Figures 10.2, 10.3, 11).

7. The Landsat/SPOT satellite MSS data sets were combined to produce highresolution images at scales of 1:5K, 1:10K, 1:25K and 1:50K of the JohnniesReward – Pinnacles area. Geological and structural interpretations of theseimages from the basis of Figure 11.

8. The Johnnies Reward ground magnetic data sets (CRAE and AllenderExploration) were re-interpreted using the following images:

1. CRAE and AE combined TMI R to P.2. CRAE TMI North Illumination.3. CRAE TMI East Illumination.Refer to Figure 12.3 for Interpretation.

9. Tectonic Resources NL gold in soil results taken over the Johnnies Reward gridwere digitised and reprocessed (Figure 9).

7. RESULTS

Re-evaluation of AGSO ground geophysical survey data has rediscovered 4anomalies (apart from Johnnies Reward) that require following up. Namely Line 5600(IP), Line 4800 (IP and EM) (Figure 10.2), Southern Cross Bore (IP) and New Folly(EM).

The size and intensity of the main Johnnies Reward magnetic anomaly is notcommensurate with the size of the cropping out gossan (Figure 12.3). DDH,E058005 intersected the magnetite pyroxenite unit from 105m to 160m vertical depth(Figure 10.3) and its presence at those depths may well account for the size andintensity of the anomaly. The magnetite pyroxenite is highly magnetic (up to 40%magnetite) and crops out for 180 metres (Figure 12). At surface it comprisesmagnetite and tremolite while in drill core; diopside and magnetite, in approximatelyequal proportions. It carries up to 1% combined basemetals (Cu + Pb + Zn) and inDDH005, 21 metres averaging 1.06gms/tonne, Au hence it is a significant contributorto the overall mineralised package. The best gold intersections however occur withinbrecciated footwall quartz-garnet biotite/chlorite–magnetite–pyrite-schists, gneissesand where more silica is present quartzites. The copper-gold mineralisation occursas:

The footwall sequence is also highly magnetic due to the ubiquitous presence ofmagnetite in both disseminated and vein forms however its level of concentrationdrops off sharply as indicated by the magnetics even though there is no perceptiblechange in lithology (other than a sharp decrease in magnetite). In cross section themain Johnnies Reward Anomaly is circular to elliptical with a longitudinal axis manytimes greater than its width, thus forming a plunging pipe-like body parallel to theregional lineation of about 50 degrees NNE. This lineation is ubiquitous throughoutthe area and reflects the high density thrust faulting deemed to have occurred duringthe ASO.

The Pinnacles copper mineralisation is deposited as open-space fillings within quartzveins. They are seldom more than one metre wide occupying small north-trendingshears dipping steeply to the east, an orientation that roughly parallels the dominantfoliation.

Their preferred location is within or on the contact of sheared calcsilicate (schist)units and marble (Figure 11 and 11.3). The copper content of veins varies from atrace in quartz stringers to 30% in rich ore zones within larger quartz veins.

The vein quartz also carry traces of gold, silver, bismuth and disseminatedchalcopyrite however the main copper minerals are malachite, chalcocite, bornitewith traces of azurite, chrysocolla, rare cuprite and native copper in association withtourmaline and iron carbonate gangue. To date no primary copper sulfidemineralisation has been mined or its existence reported. The highest grade ore wasmined from deposits of chalcocite, malachite and bornite all secondary copperminerals derived from the oxidation of primary chalcopyrite concentrated in the nearsurface environment.

The vein deposits occupy dilation zones within a major north-trending shear ordeformed zone up to 240 metres wide and 2.5km long extending from Polly Boyworkings through Central No. 9, Ophir, Central No. 2, Ciccone’s and Urals. Thelargest gossan within the ring of gossans area west of Ciccone’s Shafts is truncatedto the east by a NNW-trending anastomosing vein quartz system (Figure 11) whichgenerally follows a well defined Landsat linear interpreted as a fault. This veinsystem can be traced continuously from Central No. 2 workings however there areno other workings along it. The mineralised trend from Central No. 2 extendsnorthward following a sheared calcsilicate unit that has been faulted off in severalplaces by a number of parallel NE-trending structures. It terminates at the Uralsworkings where it is intersected by a prominent Landsat linear trending east northeast interpreted as a fault (possibly a thrust fault).

At Johnnies Reward the interpreted Transitional Alteration Zone (TAZ) is prospectivefor copper-gold mineralisation comprising discontinuous pods of geochemicallyanomalous gossanous skarn over a strike length of 1.5km up to 150 metres wide(Figure 11). The sheared western contact of the zone marks the end of carbonatesedimentation in the Johnnies Reward area. It is clearly transitional betweenunaltered quartz-garnet-biotite-sillimanite gneiss cropping out west of the zone,forming prominent strike ridges and the marble-calcsilicate carbonate sequence tothe east. Within the zone the poddy gossanous skarns are hosted by shearedquartz-garnet-biotite-chlorite-epidote schists and gneisses that have clearlyundergone green schist facies retrogression. Other lithologies within the zoneinclude outcrops of podlike to elongate amphibolite (60% plagioclase, 15% bronzite,

Page 16: FLINDERS DIAMONDS LIMITED

13

15% diopside, 10% magnetite) that regularly crop out along the north-trending zone,the Johnnies Reward magnetite pyroxenite (metamorphosed dolomitic carbonate),coarse grain pegmatite or granite and minor calcsilicate.

Frequent thrust faults orientated east-west, east-north-east and east-south-east area characteristic of the area and are an important control on mineralisation (north oversouth sense of movement).

The quartz-garnet-biotite gneiss, amphibolite, calcsilicate unit cropping outimmediately east of TAZ is transitional also in so far as a change in sedimentation ismarked by the occurrence of highly siliceous well sorted quartzite cropping out onthe westerly contact of this unit (sq on Figure 11) just prior to the onset of the maincarbonate sedimentation event.

There are anomalous rock chip and soil geochemistry results within this unit, whichis also deemed prospective, but discrete from TAZ in view of the distinct structuralbreak clearly observable between the two. However the combined area underlain bythese units may well represent a hiatus zone marking an end to volcanic activitybefore the onset of carbonate sedimentation hence the copper-gold mineralisation atJohnnies Reward may originally have been exhalative volcanogenic massive ordisseminated sulphides plus gold which were remobilised and reprecipitated severaltimes throughout the regions structurally complex evolutionary history to bedeposited where the present mineralisation is located now.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The main Johnnies Reward magnetic anomaly has only been tested by threeDDH’s namely Geopeko DDH1, ALCOA E058002 and E058 005. Although thebest intersection was drilled in ALCOA 002 it was within 60 metres (verticaldepth) of the surface hence the down plunge or depth extent of the anomaly wasnot tested. ALCOA005 collared 63 metres north east of 002 is the mostsignificant hole from a geophysical aspect because it disproves AGSO’s theorythat the anomaly is shallow (approximately 70 metres) having intersected themagnetic pyroxnite from 105 to 160 metres vertical depth and the underlyingmagnetic footwall zone to a vertical depth of 195 metres.

Infill drilling is required between these two holes orientated normal to plunge(210º) to follow up the previous encouraging results achieved in both holes.

2. The AGSO IP anomaly (Figure 10.2) occurring in the footwall of the JohnniesReward gossan sequence requires RAB drilling orientated east west. TheTectonic RC holes were all drilled towards the north west terminating in themagnetite pyroxenite unit. The IP anomaly appears to be located further downsequence at the contact of the magnetite pyroxenite and the underlying footwallschists. It may well correspond to the postulated Allender demagnetised zone.To date no previous drilling has tested this section of the footwall sequence.

3. The Johnnies Reward North magnetic anomaly underlying a cropping outgeochemically anomalous gossanous skarn requires RAB drilling. The JR Northgossan is located on an ESE – trending thrust fault which disappears undercoverwithin a few metres of the gossan however its easterly extension is worthfollowing up with a bedrock geochemistry sampling drill program.

4. The eastern half of the Johnnies Reward grid occupies a valley whichcorresponds inpart to the postulated Transitional Alteration Zone (TAZ). There isoutcrop present but the majority of the area is under a thin layer of alluvium andsheet wash. Those areas undercover require bedrock geochemistry drillsampling (north east quadrant of the Johnnies Reward grid).

5. The Line 4800 AGSO IP and EM anomaly needs to be mapped in detail androck chip sampled where appropriate. The flat lying undercover area slightly eastof the anomaly needs to be soil sampled and/or bedrock geochemistry drilled.The anomaly is located 350 metres north of the JR Grid hence it could easily beextended to include this area.

6. Line 5600 AGSO IP anomaly needs to be mapped and rock chip sampled whereappropriate.

7. The Southern Cross Bore AGSO IP anomaly is overlain by a thin covering ofalluvium and requires bedrock geochemistry drill sampling. The JohnniesReward grd could easily be extended to the east and south to include this area(Figure 10).

8. The arcuate “ring of gossans” located east of Ciccone’s Shafts have beensampled several times by various explorers. No anomalous results have beenreported to date for base metals or gold, however their favourable structuralsetting occurring at the intersection of two major structural trends (Figure 11)One orientated east-west associated with thrust faulting and a north-NNE-NNWtrend possibly a north easterly extension of The Pinnacles “line of lode” trendrequire RAB drilling particularly the largest of the 5 gossans where there areseveral zones of malachite stained quartz veins within brecciated marblecropping out adjacent to the southern side of the gossan. The gossans areessentially hematite and manganese (after carbonate?) that have undergonelaterisation during the Tertiary which may have resulted in surface leaching.

9. The Pinnacles “line of lode” attains its widest extent in the vicinity of the Ophirworkings (Figure 11.3). This zone of extensive brecciation and stringers hostingsporadic high grade copper mineralisation needs to be RAB drilled to test fordown dip extensions of the breccia zone hosted surface mineralisation. Asecondary target is the sheared or schistose calcsilicate units which areparticularly prevalent in this area.

10. Northerly strike extensions of the Polly Boy shear hosted copper mineralisationas manifested by the EM anomalies delineated by AGSO need to be followed upby RAB drilling.
