Yamarna Chrome / PGEYamarna chromite prospect located 2km west of Attila gold deposit. First pass RC completed by Eleckra over strike length of 500m. Multiple chromite seams intercepted. At the Yamarna chromite-PGE prospect within E38/361 six slimline RC holes (EYSRC01 - EYSRC06) for a total of 459m were drilled to test for down dip continuation of chromitite mineralisation drilled in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The previous drilling targeted chromitite float within an ultramafic layer of the intrusion west of the Yamarna homestead and identified multiple seams of medium to high grade chromitite grading up to 30% Cr2O3 over a two metre interval, and weak PGE mineralisation of up to 0.2 g/t Pt and 0.82 g/t Pd over 0.9m. The aeromagnetic data indicates that several other magnetic olivine cumulate units (and the magnetic gabbroic units to the east) may occur at irregular intervals along the trend, to date none of which have been effectively drill tested. Results Of Eleckra's Chromite Drilling Include 6m At 32.9% Cr2O3Holes EYSRC001 to 004 and EYSRC006 were drilled 100m apart along 400m of strike length of the Yamarna chromite prospect. Hole EYSRC005 was drilled as a step back to EYSRC003 in order to establish the dip of the lithological units. Three holes EYSRC 003, 004 and 006 were terminated too early to fully test the mineralised zones, however all Eleckra's drill holes intersected 40m - 50m of chromium-rich ultramafic unit. The best chromitite intercepts as shown below: Yamarna Chromite best hole intercepts
Eleckra considers there is substantial potential to locate additional chromite mineralisation at Yamarna and further assessment of the economic potential of this material is planned. |
