Login to download

This report discusses prospecting work done in MPP 60210 (Serpentine) by Mineral Rangahau Ltd between October 2016 and February 2018. Two hundred and thirty-one soil samples taken from depths of 10-200cm yielded only sixteen samples with over 20ppm arsenic indicated on portable XRF. The higher arsenic values were much lower than expected and ranged from 20 to 36ppm. No correlation was found with a NW-SE high conductivity feature mapped from an airborne EM survey by Glass Earth. No correlation was found with previous Glass Earth soil sampling for gold, whose sampling was not deep enough to penetrate loess.
