Golden Deeps Ltd. announced further strongly copper-gold- zinc anomalous soil sampling and high-grade copper rockchip results from the Company's 100% owned Havilah1 Project in the highly-prospective Lachlan Fold Belt copper-gold province in central NSW. The extensive copper with gold and zinc anomalies are associated with strongly altered and mineralised Sofala Volcanics (SfV) within the magnetic aureole of the Aarons Pass Granite, which is associated with porphyry Mo-W-Cu mineralisation west of the Havilah tenement at Minrex Resources' Mt Pleasant Project2. The Company is targeting porphyry/volcanic hosted copper-gold mineralisation of similar style to the major Cadia-Ridgeway2 deposits in the Lachlan Fold Belt to the west of the Havilah Project.

The soil and rockchip sampling has identified three highly copper anomalous zones within the Hazelbrook Prospect at the Havilah Project: Infill sampling of the Hazelbrook Prospect has defined a strong, 1km x 400m, northeast-trending anomaly which has also produced high-grade rockchip sample grades of up to 1.1% copper (Cu) with elevated gold (Au) and zinc (Zn). The highest grades are associated with malachite after sulphides in the altered and fractured volcanics (Image 1a) with aplitic felsic porphyry dykes. A very strong 400m x 200m north-south trending copper-gold-zinc anomaly has been defined, which is associated with silicified and brecciated volcanics in outcrop (Image 1b).

Rockchip grades of up to 0.2% Cu, 0.3% Zn and 0.15 g/t Au have been recorded, with elevated mercury - indicating a high (shallow) level in the mineralised system. Strong soil anomalism in altered and mineralised Sofala Volcanics has been identified, extending under Permian cover to the south. Chalcopyrite (copper-sulphides) in rockchips yielded grades of up to 1.2% copper (Image 1c).

Interpretation of detailed magnetics indicates that the extensive copper anomalies at the Hazelbrook prospect are associated with northeast-southwest and north-south oriented faults that link to the Aarons Park Granite to the west and at depth. Aplitic porphyry dykes are also associated with these mineralised zones. Outcropping chalcopyrite (copper-sulphide) at the Milfor prospect, in altered and brecciated Sofala Volcanics grading 1.2% Cu, indicates potential for an extensive copper sulphide system, which is partially obscured by post-mineralisation Permian sediment cover.

Detailed magnetics imagery indicates that the mineralised Sofala Volcanics continue under the Permian cover to the south. The Hazelbrook North anomaly, which is at a higher level topographically, appears to be the top of the porphyry system, characterised by elevated Zn-Hg-Sb in association with the Cu and Au.
