Or ion Gold – E xplor ation T ar ge ts

The exploration targets Orion seeks in the Walhalla – Woods Point Goldfield are of two principal styles as exemplified by many historical mines and records in the field. These can be described as :

  • 1. Structurally Controlled:
  • typified by quartz reefs in folded hosting sediments, frequently associated with

intrusive intermediate dykes and restricted carbonate-sulfide alteration. The structures tend to be north westerly trending, deep-seated, westerly dipping thrust or reverse faults, with significant strike and dip

  • continuity. Development of gold bearing shoots results from changes in attitude, host rock type and fault
  • intersections. Mineralised zones tend to be broadly planar, varying in width from one metre to ten or more

metres, with the majority of examples less than three metres. Zones of stockwork mineralisation may locally develop between sets of parallel faults. Cohen's (Walhalla) and Toombon-New Dawn typify this style of mineralisation. The major example within Orion tenements, is the Cohen’s Reef deposit, which has recorded production of over 1.5 million ounces of gold at an average grade of over one ounce per tonne. Recognition of the major controlling structures and trends in the area for this style and the localisation of concentrations of mineralisation along these, provides a useful focus for exploration.

  • 2. Intrusive Hosted:
  • auriferous quartz reefs developed as ‘stacked’ reefs within the host intermediate

intrusive or on the contact margins with the wallrock sediments. 'Stockwork' style mineralisation may develop locally in the sedimentary wallrocks marginal to the intrusion. The intrusives are deep-seated and tend to be located on similar structures to the above mineralisation style, with the specific location resulting from local dilatancy created by fault jogs or cross-cutting structures. Examples of this style of mineralisation are provided by the + 1 million ounce A1 and Morning Star gold deposits at the northern end of the Walhalla Synclinorium (held by other companies). The intrusives and associated mineralisation also tend to be deep seated. Targets for exploration have been developed from location of historical workings, significant structures associated with and extending from these and the records of mining and mapping these mines. The dimensions and attitudes

  • f the past deposits provide an invaluable description of the style of mineralisation present and what can be

expected for the field. It is for this reason that compilation and modelling of this data is used for targeting. The reasonable deductions and flow-on expectations for the targets in these areas are summarised in the following table.
