Gidgee
Gidgee consists of a single granted exploration licence (51/1044) covering an area of 211.7km², and located about 40km southwest of the Meekatharra Township.
The Chunderloo Shear Zone, locally referred to as the Big Bell Shear Zone, a kilometre-scale, north-easterly trending structure, runs centrally through the tenement. The structure bifurcates in to a series of sub parallel structures in the northeast that bound and separates the Abbotts greenstone belt from the adjacent granite and the Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt in the east. A major NE trending deformation zone marks the very eastern contact of the greenstone belt with an external granitoid and is thought to form as part of the Cuddingwarra Shear Zone that hosts the Cuddingwarra group of open pit mines developed by Harmony Gold to the south west. The triangular-shaped Abbotts greenstone belt includes a suite of ultramafic – mafic differentiated sills intruding mafic and volcanic stratigraphy. Structural thickening within the greenstones is related to thrusting from west, as well as folding. Late stage granodiorite intrudes in the southern end of the Abbotts greenstone belt. Magnetic data suggests this stratigraphy, albeit much narrower, extends under cover to the southwest to join with the northern extensions of the Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt. The actual relationship is obscured by a variably thick blanket of transported covers that limit bedrock exposure within the tenement.
Gold mineralization exists in narrow quartz veins within granite at Wanganui and Granite King immediately east of the tenement and at Weebacarry south of the tenement. The mineralisation is hosted within and lies adjacent to north-south trending dextral faults with a local component of reverse movement. Previous exploration has highlighted two 5km long linear zones of greater than 100ppb gold in aircore at Marsh Bore and Cement Well, both remain untested at depth.
As the tenement underlying this project is granted it will form one of the main areas of initial focus and early drilling.
