Overview
Copperhole Creek is located in Queensland within a window of Georgetown-Forsayth Metamorphics. The project features two styles of mineralization including Cu-Au/Pb-Zn-Ag breccias and veins associated with regional shearing in Proterozoic metamorphics, as well as greisen style Sn-Mo-Cu mineralization hosted within Carboniferous granites. Nearby properties (Einasleigh Cu Mine & Chloe & Jackson Deposits) with resources show similar grades and styles of mineralization of those historically recorded within the license.
There are extensive historic workings across the license that have seen limited exploration (see table below for more details). Of particular interest is the Questend prospect, described as having a 600 meter strike length. Questend has seen two historic drillholes, of which one intercepted 12 meters @ 3.27% Cu, 0.66% Zn, 51 g/t Ag, and 0.26% Sn. This historic drilling did not test for gold, and was never followed up.
| Prospect | Sample Type | Analytical Values | Description | Target |
| Dorothy | Underground sampling | 8.79% Cu, 3.36% Pb & 4.85% Zn1 | 20m long x 2m wide x 10m deep lens of Cu-Pb-Zn quartz vein | Never systematically explored or drilled |
| Questend | Percussion drilling | 12m @ 3.27% Cu 0.66% Zn, 51 g/t Ag, & 0.26% Sn | 2-3 subparallel fissure veins with 600m strike | Historic operators didn’t test for gold; percussion drilling never followed up |
| Avalon | Dump sample | 10.9% Cu & 5 oz Ag | 1.5m quartz vein along a 1m wide chloritic selvedge of Cu-bearing schist | No record of sampling or modern exploration |
| George | – | Ag occurrence | 75m strike length | No modern sampling |
| Enterprise | Rock chip sample | 2.4 g/t Au, 0.3% Cu, & 0.1% Pb2 | Abandoned Cu prospect within Forsayth Granite | Au values never fully quantified |
1 Underground sampling was completed by Bridge Minerals in 1971 and reported to Queensland Geologic Survey in Annual Report Georgetown District Eveleigh Block (cr_3533.pdf.)
2 Rock chip samples were reported by BP Minerals in Final Report A.TO P.1806 Georgetown Region- Queensland (cr_7585.pdf)
Elemental has not performed sufficient work to verify the published assay results, and these data cannot be verified as being compliant with NI 43-101 standards.
