Meekatharra North (Au)

The Meekatharra North Project lies 20 km along structure from the Paddy’s Flat field (where 2.5 million ounces of gold have been produced).

The area is substantially covered by a thin blanket of colluvium and deeper palaeochannels. Drilling has identified a series of blind mineralised and altered shears through the area.

An aircore drilling program was undertaken during January/February at the Meekatharra North Project. Sixty three holes were completed for 4,594 m testing three prospect areas.

This wide spaced drilling did not encounter any economic gold grades but the data is being fully integrated into the large drilling database Mindax has for the area.

Recent high grade gold intersections by Doray Minerals immediately to the north of Mindax tenure has provided encouragement for the general exploration model in the Meekatharra North tenement.

Doray’s ‘hits’ are approximately 2000 m north of the common tenement boundary but similar structures look to cross south into the Mindax tenement.

Mindax has only conducted broad spaced drilling in this area because the cover is quite deep. These new observations will be integrated into the model and further drilling is planned for Meekatharra in the middle of the year.
