Alliance Resources Ltd. announced that the Company has been granted $300,000 in co-funding by the South Australian Government under Phase 2 of the Sth Australian Government Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI). The co-funding will pay for 50% of the cost of drilling diamond core holes at the Weednanna Au-Fe Deposit and for research activities undertaken by the CSIRO for the Company. The ADI embraces innovation, collaboration and capacity building to advance exploration in South Australia. It aims to make a major contribution to South Australia's Growth State target through supporting the potential discovery of new mineral and groundwater resources, while delivering a number of other economic and social benefits including; Aboriginal employment opportunities, data to support development of rural communities, and development and application of innovative exploration technologies. Alliance's proposal, titled "An exploration model for gold in the southern Gawler Craton" will build upon collaborative research currently being completed with the CSIRO. The project will combine new diamond drill core with novel multi-scale analytical techniques developed by the CSIRO to study the chemistry, structures and mineralogy associated with the gold leading to a new genetic deposit model which has the potential to connect iron skarn with present- day iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) formation models. Microscale chemical imaging will highlight the gold deportment in newly drilled core and how it relates to different host rocks, hydrothermal and/or supergene alteration minerals. These element maps will also highlight minerals that can be dated to place the gold mineralisation within the complex geological history of this part of South Australia. By understanding the controls on gold deposition at Weednanna, and their chemical and mineralogical signatures, CSIRO will provide a framework to predict the key aspects of similar gold mineral systems in the Gawler Craton enabling targeted exploration. This proposal aligns with and extends a current research collaboration between Alliance, CSIRO, and Australian university researchers. The current project investigates the timing of igneous activity adjacent to the deposit, the deposit-scale mineralogy and how it can be combined with automated logging techniques using multi-element geochemical data from rock chips.
