3.2.3.1 Geology<br />

The Turner River base metal project is located in an Archaean granite-greenst<strong>on</strong>e terrane. Greenst<strong>on</strong>e belt<br />

rocks are comprised <strong>of</strong> metamorphosed (greenschist facies), mafic to ultramafic intrusive rocks, intermediate<br />

to felsic volcanics, some intrusi<strong>on</strong>s and various sedimentary rocks including shale, banded ir<strong>on</strong>st<strong>on</strong>e and<br />

chert. Greenst<strong>on</strong>e belt rocks wrap around granitic inliers. The project is located <strong>with</strong>in the widely mineralised<br />

Mallina Shear.<br />

Outcropping silver-gold-zinc-lead mineralisati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sidered to be polymetallic volcanogenic massive<br />

sulphide style (VMS) is found in the Tabba Tabba greenst<strong>on</strong>e belt. High-grade mineralisati<strong>on</strong> intersecti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

have been returned from six outcropping prospects over a 20 km strike length and to depths up to 430 m<br />

below surface. The main prospect locati<strong>on</strong>s and drilling highlights are shown in Figure 3.7.<br />

Turner River Base Metal Project Prospect Locati<strong>on</strong><br />

The steeply dipping sulphide mineralisati<strong>on</strong> is hosted in foliated, sericite-altered felsic schist that was<br />

originally felsic volcanics.<br />

Explorati<strong>on</strong> and resource definiti<strong>on</strong> has c<strong>on</strong>centrated <strong>on</strong> the Orchard Tank and Discovery prospects and<br />

other prospects al<strong>on</strong>g the 20 km l<strong>on</strong>g greenst<strong>on</strong>e belt have not been fully investigated. The greenst<strong>on</strong>e belt<br />

has been largely covered <strong>with</strong> geochemistry, geophysics and shallow RAB and AC drilling.<br />
