GOLD developer Corvette Resources has joined forces with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in a collaborative study to improve the geological understanding of the Albany-Fraser gold belt in Western Australia and Corvette mineralisation.
According to the company, the study will advance understanding of the geology, geochemistry, alteration, structure and mineralisation at the Plumridge project.
The study will use exploration technology from CSIRO to analyse drill samples from the Corvette’s recent drilling programmes, to build advanced 3D models of the mineralisation on the project.
The 2,200 kilometre squared project is situated on the margin of the Albany Fraser Province and the interpreted reworked transitional margin of the Yilgarn Block, which hosts the 5 Moz Tropicana-Havana gold deposit.
The program will incorporate hyperspectral drill chip logging system, portable XRF, and data generated by the company.
The CSIRO project will be part of the Minerals Down Under National Research Flagship program, and will work with the WA Centre of Excellence for 3D Mineral Mapping (C3DMM).
