Figure 8. Geology <strong>of</strong> the Beruang Kanan prospect showing the distribution <strong>of</strong> drill<br />

holes (modified from Stewart et al., 2007).<br />

Discussion<br />

Of the two holes in the Main Zone which returned significant intersections (Table 3),<br />

one was drilled in a high chargeability zone (KBK0021) and the other in a low<br />

chargeability zone (KBK0020). This must raise a question over the inferred<br />

relationship between chargeability and copper mineralization in this area and suggests<br />

that interpretations based solely on the IP data must be treated with caution.<br />

The principal porphyry target in the Main Zone delineated by Leach (2001) was not<br />

tested by the recent drilling and the mineralization still remains open at depth in the<br />

area near BK09. In order to test this target, holes would need to be sited east and<br />

northeast <strong>of</strong> BK09 and drilled to the west at -50-60 o .<br />

In the South Zone, KBK0028 appears to have been drilled some 200 metres south <strong>of</strong><br />

the main soil geochemistry and IP target described by Geiger et al. (2005)(see fig. 9).<br />

The main target zone therefore remains untested.<br />

Strong clay-pyrite alteration is present in the west zone but the source <strong>of</strong> copper and<br />

the style <strong>of</strong> any copper mineralization are not known. Further work could be<br />

undertaken to identify the style(s) <strong>of</strong> mineralization. This could involve mapping<br />
