Hawkins Lead-Zinc Project
Project Area
835km²
Prospective Location
Earheedy Basin
Mineralisation Potential
Pb | Zn | Fe | Mn
RTR & STK Discoveries confirm Earaheedy as a rapidly developing region for large Zn-Pb discovery
TENURE & GEOLOGICAL SETTING
-
835km landholding with historical Pb-Zn mineralisation identified in limited historical scout drilling
-
Located ~40km NW of the Rumble Resources (ASX:RTR) Chinook lead-zinc discovery
-
Signed Heritage and access agreement with Traditional Owners paves way for Hawkins tenement grant
GEOLOGY & EXPLORATION TARGET
- RTR results confirm a SEDEX-type deposit, usually found in multiple basin locations
- Recent Irquinois discovery by STK (23m @ 5.5% Pb+Zn) deeper within basin highlighting the potential of the basin for further discoveries
EXPLORATION & DRILLING TO COMMENCE EARLY 2022
SETTING & HISTORICAL EXPLORATION
- Peak historical result (RGC Exploration 1990’s) from Pinnacles Prospect returned 2m @ 0.25% Zn and 0.31% Pb (HRC12) confirming project potential
- Prospective for both Chinook style Frere-Yelma Unconformity mineralisation and Iroquois style carbonate hosted mineralisation.
