Location: Mid-West Region, Western Australia
Tenements: E52/1821 – (Mt Deverell) AML 100%
  E52/2242 – (Mt Deverell) AML 100%
Native Title: Heritage Agreement Signed With Jidi Jidi Aboriginal Corporation (2005) – Mt Deverell

Granted exploration licences E52/1821 and E52/2242 cover approximately 171 square kilometres and several geophysical anomalies and geological rock sequences exhibiting characteristics consistent with Abra-type mineralisation have been identified within the tenements.

The Mt Deverell Project was acquired as a grass roots exploration play to leverage the geological knowledge derived from work at the Abra deposit.  The association of granite domes with northeast-trending basin-scale lineaments were considered important.

A first pass NITON soil survey was completed over the Mt Deverell tenements in 2008, with some encouraging anomalism defined.

An infill NITON soil survey and geological mapping programme completed in early 2010 has better defined several strong lead surface anomalies within E52/1821.

The infill lines in Areas 1 and 2 better defined the existing lead anomalies and the geological mapping has enabled a better understanding of the geological setting at each location.

Within Area 1 the peak lead value is 146ppm and the lead anomaly is coincident with a breccia zone comprising sandstone and quartz clasts derived from the surrounding Kiangi Creek sediments. The anomaly occurs within the hinge of a broad north-west trending faulted antiform that onlaps granitic basement. It occurs in a similar stratigraphic and structural setting to the Abra Deposit.

Within Area 2 the peak lead value is 309ppm and the lead anomaly is also coincident with a fault breccia zone comprising sandstone and quartz clasts derived from the surrounding Kiangi Creek sediments and this lead anomaly also occurs within a similar stratigraphic and structural setting to the Abra Deposit.
