Technical Specialist's Report<br />

identified additi<strong>on</strong>al gold mineralisati<strong>on</strong> at depth. Treatment <strong>of</strong> tailings and open pit mining <strong>of</strong> oxide<br />

mineralisati<strong>on</strong> was carried out until 2005.<br />

<strong>Polymetals</strong> acquired the tenements covering the mine in 1992 for $110,000. The adjacent explorati<strong>on</strong> licence<br />

(EL 5842) was acquired in 2008 for $0.5M. The Mt Boppy tenements comprise:<br />

• Four gold leases.<br />

• Two mining leases.<br />

• One mining purpose lease.<br />

• One explorati<strong>on</strong> licence.<br />

The leases (Figure 3.1) cover an area <strong>of</strong> 0.7 km 2 and the explorati<strong>on</strong> licence (Figure 3.2) covers 204.6 km 2 .<br />

3.1.2 Geology<br />

The Mt Boppy deposit is located in the northern part <strong>of</strong> Dev<strong>on</strong>ian Canbelego-Mineral Hill Rift Z<strong>on</strong>e<br />

surrounded by the flanking Kopyje Shelf in the Palaeozoic Lachlan Fold Belt.<br />

Gold mineralisati<strong>on</strong> occurs <strong>with</strong>in both the Ordovician (Girilamb<strong>on</strong>e Group) and the Dev<strong>on</strong>ian (Baledmund<br />

Formati<strong>on</strong>) rocks. Mineralisati<strong>on</strong> hosted in the Baledmund Formati<strong>on</strong> is characterised by gold <strong>with</strong> minor<br />

zinc, copper and lead hosted in brecciated and silicified sediments and quartz veining in shear z<strong>on</strong>es. The<br />

shear z<strong>on</strong>es are associated <strong>with</strong> a west-dipping normal fault which down throws Baledmund Formati<strong>on</strong> rocks<br />

<strong>on</strong> its western side against Girilamb<strong>on</strong>e Group rocks <strong>on</strong> it eastern side.<br />

The Main Lode, which was mined underground, strikes approximately north-south. The best mineralisati<strong>on</strong><br />

adjacent to the Main Lode occurs in the Baledmund Formati<strong>on</strong>. The Main Lode stopes are filled <strong>with</strong><br />

mineralised material that forms part <strong>of</strong> the Mineral Resource.<br />
