Gullewa has started drilling at its Dandaloo copper and gold project in New South Wales. The drilling will test Palaeozoic basement sequences beneath two separate multi element geochemical target areas that are covered by approximately 100 meters of clay and younger cover.
Under the drilling program a minimum of 4 holes each to depths of at least 200 meters is planned to test the Palaeozoic basement sequences beneath thick younger Mesozoic and Recent Cover.
Gullewa will use mud drilling techniques to bore through the unconsolidated younger cover, followed by diamond drilling of the basement. The program will be halted for two weeks over the festive season and New Year but is likely to be completed towards the end of January 2013. Gullewa expects complete results of geochemical analysis of the drill hole samples to be available by the end of February next year.
The Parkes Zone and surrounding tectonic blocks contains a number of important Ordovician ore deposit types including the North Parkes Porphyry Cu‐Au deposits, epithermal Au at Peak Hill and mesothermal Au at Tomingley and stratabound Cu polymetallic mineralisation at Tottenham.
