Jumbulyer Project

Background

• Emerging project with significant gold and copper potential.

• 15km southwest of the town of Mount Magnet

• Under explored tenements largely held by individual prospectors

• Target small volume high grade, near surface feed to dovetail with KGP

Exploration strategy

Desktop research identified substantial historical information not previously

utilised in target generation

Systematic mapping and sampling identified a series of drill targets as the

basis of the successful November 2012 Stage 1 drill campaign.

Jumbulyer Drill Program 2012
