Garnet & Gunmetal

  • Garnet & Gunmetal each comprise a

series of 4 roughly parallel flat lying lenses.

  • The two deposits are separated by

approximately 500 metres

  • A drill program scheduled to test the

potential connection between these deposits in the late 1970’s did not take place when the Global tungsten market collapsed.

  • If these two deposits are connected the

potential for a large low cost open pit mining operation should not be discounted
