Moonta Project – modern exploration history timeline Moonta Project – modern exploration history timeline

Historical exploration at Moonta was dominated by mid caps and majors which needed to find very large resources. This presents Adelaide Resources with a valuable historical database and a scale opportunity. The opportunity is significantly enhanced by improved copper prices since the mid 2000’s.

  • Both are interpreted to be IOCG deposits.
  • Host rock packages are very similar.
  • Both are structurally controlled.
  • Relation to likely genetically linked granite very similar.
  • Main FeOx metasomatite displaced from mineralisation.
  • Alteration phases reportedly very similar.
  • Both have significant molybdenum.

Alford West Summary Alford West Summary

  • First discovered in 1970’s – rediscovered in 2013 by checking
  • pen file DMITRE reports.
  • Defined by a 3.5 kilometre long auger copper geochemical
  • anomaly. ADN drilling has tested 1.1 kilometres so far, with

copper-gold mineralisation present on every drill traverse.

  • Exceptional potential exists to define a valuable resource.
  • Deposit geology is interpreted to be of IOCG style.
  • West Alford analogous to Mt Dore/Merlin, and Alford Copper

Belt analogous to Starra Shear/Mt Dore Fault Zone in QLD.
