The Bingara Project, covering a contiguous area of 484.1km2, contains two sub parallel broadly north south trending mineralised trends that follow the regional scale Peel Fault system.
- The 30 km long Epizonal Orogenic Au (Sb and W) trend – Bingara goldfields
- The 20 km long Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Cu-Au-(Zn) trend
Portions of the Bingara goldfields have had limited sporadic historic exploration since the late 1970’s, with no drilling since 1996.
This belt has seen no systematic surface exploration, modern geophysics or drill testing. Elsewhere in the world, Cyprus style VMS deposits form modest tonnage, high-grade copper-zinc deposits, that can cluster in deposit “camps” and may contain significant gold.
The 20km long Bingara VMS Cu-Au-(Zn) trend, located east of the Peel Fault, contains six historical Cyprus style VMS deposits, including the Mt Everest – Mona Trend, a 2.5km long belt of copper occurrences, pits, and mines. Highlights from historic sampling include:
- 6% Cu & 0.6 g/t Au from the supergene zone with malachite and copper oxides
- 8% Cu from magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite layered rock
- 3% Cu & 1.05 g/t Au from a sample in banded manganiferous cherts
