E2 Drill Hole - Echo Prospect
The Echo Prospect is located NW of Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) Goodpaster Prospect. The planned drill hole position has been optimised to test a CSAMT conductor, located on the periphery of an interpreted intrusive (i.e. coincident resistive and magnetic high) flanking a major structure. The CSAMT conductor is interpreted as a zone of potentially mineralised, hydrothermally altered country rock and the underlying intrusive as the causative heat and fluid source forming the alteration zone. The magnetic anomaly is likely due to a diorite intrusion, the presence of which is known to be spatially associated with gold mineralisation at the adjacent Pogo Gold Mine.
Managing Director Duncan Chessell commented:
“Very pleased to see the rig turning on the prospective Echo Prospect with the Pogo Gold Mine in the background.”
