Middle Island Resources Limited announced Two Drill Ready Targets at Crosswinds. The Crosswinds copper prospect is located 13km southeast of Barkly Homestead, immediately adjacent to the sealed Barkly Highway, within EL32297. The first discovery of copper in the region with 130m @ 0.75% Cu and grab samples to 73% Cu were defined in a table drain cutting.

This surface copper mineralisation is interpreted to reflect the secondary migration of copper along growth faults that extend from primary mineralisation within the Proterozoic basement rocks through younger, Georgina Basin sediments. An IP line, conducted in December 2021, highlighted a potential chargeable target at approximately 500m depth. It is interpreted that this style of mineralisation is for massive and disseminated sulphides similar to IOCG "Olympic Dam" Type copper gold deposits.

Induced Polarity Survey Planetary Geophysics Pty Ltd. completed one single 2.65km long 2D Induced Polarization /Resistivity line in December 2021. Rx Dipole Spacing was 200m apart with Tx Injection Spacing 100m apart. MDI now have an additional 24-line km of IP/Resistivity over 4 lines 500m apart, both north and south of the original line, also with an extension to the original line.

This was undertaken to create a 3D model of the target to better define the IP anomaly and to bullseye the future drill holes. Several depth slices have been produced to indicate target areas. Not only does the original anomaly remain coincident with Crosswinds, but a second, larger, anomaly has been defined by this work and just a few hundred metres to the north-west.

The materials that are most chargeable include sulphide minerals, clay-rich materials, and graphite. Ground Gravity Survey The Ground Gravity survey has also been completed which was conducted by Atlas Geophysics. The survey area includes that of the Crosswinds project and the area over the Barkly Homestead.
