I have been trying to find the time to check FPRC022 out. I have now started and post what I have found. There may be more to come, maybe not.

The information about the gold at Forrest Gimp (as it was then called) first appeared in the November 2013 AGM Presentation. This is the snipped relevant part.



Back then it was just about the gold. The company was looking at helping out with the viability of producing gold at Fortnum.

The next relevant publication is the 2013 December Q Activity report 24/1/14 as per https://www.aurisminerals.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Quarterly-Activities-Report-December-2013.pdf. relevant extracts are:

EXPLORATION
Forrest Gimp Prospect
The Forrest Gimp gold prospect is located ~12km south of the Grosvenor gold processing plant and has been delineated over a strike length of at least 180mbyreconnaissance RAB drilling and minor follow-up RC drilling (Figures 2 and 3).The deposit remains open down-plunge and along the strike trend to the north and south.
Forrest Gimp has been identified as having significant resource upside that would add to the Grosvenor resource base, once formalised, given the shallow depth of intersections and the tenor of mineralisation.
………………………..

The prospect has been targeted by prior explorers. This work included RAB and RC drilling intersections (see Table 1 for details):
FGRB015 [email protected]/tAu 
FGRB016 [email protected]/tAu 
FGRB019 [email protected]/tAu 
FGRB024 [email protected]/tAu 
FGRC021 [email protected]/tAu.

This is Table 1. Note that 4 of the RAB holes are the same. Table 1 has FGRBs 020 and 028 added to the list; also added are FGRCs 005 and 021.


None of this really helps though in the pursuit of FPRC022. So far we have only been told about 6 RABs and 2 RCs, but the 2 RCs are FGRC, not FPRC.

The next relevant report is the one dated 18/2/14 https://www.aurisminerals.com.au/wp...ade-Copper-Gold-Discovery-at-Forrest-Gimp.pdf where copper gets its first mention: 'The new results are the product of a systematic re-evaluation of historical drilling which defined the shallow Forrest Gimp gold deposit and the recognition of oxide copper mineralisation in the reverse circulation( RC) drill samples..."

However, the copper holes were FGRCs 1, 3, 4, 5 and 19, not FPRCs. The next report 28/2/14 did not add much, but here it is. https://www.aurisminerals.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Forrest-Gimp-Copper-Gold-Discovery-Update.pdf.

However, the next report 7/5/14 does mention FPRCs as per https://www.aurisminerals.com.au/wp...-Grade-Copper-Gold-Assays-At-Forrest-Gimp.pdf. The numbers are 1 to 7. The 16/11/18 ann says that 'historical' hole FPRC022 was drilled in 2015. Question: why was it not assayed for copper then given the 18/2/14 news and that which followed. The focus shifted to copper in early 2014.
