MCB Resources Limited reported that initial mapping and sampling at the Melilup Prospect (within the Tore project) has identified a broad zone of copper mineralisation with a peak value of 2135ppm Cu. The current phase of mapping and geochemical sampling at Melilup was carried out to check for surface expressions of copper/gold mineralisation associated with interpreted strong potassic altered intrusives located on a NW-transfer structure. At Melilup, two prominent NW- and NE-trending structures can be interpreted from the magnetics with potential to host mineralisation at the nexus of intersections (analogous to Panguna Copper deposit; Agnew, 2018). Secondary copper (malachite) and primary copper (chalcopyrite±covellite±energite) minerals were identified in propylitic altered diorites along mapped NW- and NE-trending faults. Copper mineralisation observed occurred as disseminations and infill fracture controlled veins±brecciation. Initial surface geochemical exploration program comprising the collection of 143 rockchip samples from Melilup to test for shallow expressions of surface mineralisation was completed. Whole rock samples were submitted to Intertek (Lae) for analysis of gold by 20 or 50gm fire assay with an ICP-OES finish, depending on sample size, with pulps sent to Intertek (Perth) for base metal analysis using a four-acid digest and MS finish. Intertek routinely supplied internal CRM standards, blanks and check samples for quality control. This work has highlighted a robust NW-trending copper anomaly (>900ppm Cu) of variable width (25-70m) extending over a minimum 800m strike length. Importantly, this anomalous zone of copper mineralisation remains open to both the north and south, and sits within a large (8km long) NW trending zone of magnetite destruction, on the edge of the very strong radiometric anomaly that defines the Melilup Prospect. Of the 143 rock chip samples taken, 13% returned copper values in excess of 500ppm Cu, with 3% reporting above 1000ppm Cu. A peak copper value of 2135ppm Cu was recorded and comprised a chlorite±epidote porphyritic diorite with minor chalcopyrite±(malachite±azurite) disseminations.
