" Substantial amount of technical work "
They've basically twinned previous drill collars
Various operators have held tenure over the area; the following companies have recorded work in the area to varying capacities:
- CRA Ltd General Resources Ltd
- Pacific Copper Ltd
- Southern Ventures Ltd
- Telminex N.L.
- Michelago Resources
- Marlborough Resources
- Getty Oil
- Dominion Mining
- Republic Gold N.L.
The final three in the list have carried out the majority of the recent work and upon which EYM has based its exploration programs.
The BOD won't be discovering any new ore body at Barruga, the dilapidated old Lloyds mine is nothing short of absolute rubbish. The long list of its previous owners is a telling story, it will never deliver the shareholders value unless they turn it into a tip. IMO
Within EL6463 copper – gold – silver +/- zinc +/- lead mineralisation is generally restricted to the Lloyds corridor, although localised anomalous base metal values also occur in the Mossgrove North prospect. The mineralisation is best developed in the Hanrahan’s Agglomerate but also occurs in the upper part of the Excelsior Porphyry. At Lloyds mine copper mineralisation occurs as two quartz – sulphide veins, although most production was from the main vein. The predominant sulphide mineral in the veins was chalcopyrite with sphalerite on the vein walls and pyrrhotite disseminated in the wall rocks. Galena and tetrahedrite were also reported, but not at economically important levels. Disseminate base metal mineralisation was reported as forming a halo to the veins. The main vein varied in width from 0.3m to 12 m, striking roughly east - west and dipping moderately north. The main vein has a typical strike extent of 180m, terminating in faults at both ends. The intersection of the terminating faults with the vein results in the ore plunging to the northeast. Originally posted by Silent-Bubbles
