Report describes the exploration activities completed by FMG Pacific Limited at offshore Taranaki for the PP50960. Work included review of the aeromagnetic survey flown by the company in early 2011 and completion of a programme of shallow (up to six meters) vibracore sampling during Jan 2012. Also, a total of 41 holes were completed and 178 m of core was recovered logged and sampled. Airborne magnetic survey review has identified magnetic anomalies through out the permit however, the vibracore preliminary results show that there are areas characterised by mud with very little magnetic material (weighted drillhole averages range from 0 to 3% magnetic material). Further the sediment modelling profile in the offshore Manakau has also revealed no real pattern of distribution of magnetic material in the top 6m of sediment, characterised mostly by siliceous mud.
