The company recently obtained and interpreted historic airborne electromagnetic (AEM) geophysical data and has finalised a major soil sampling program at Meeka East.
Mamba will utilise the integrated geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide the upcoming drill program. The soil program was focused on areas including 140′ Well, New Australian South, Bella, and Lady Maud.
Matt Freedman, Mamba’s exec director, said the historic AEM survey has been interpreted to define further targets, identifying areas of high conductivity coinciding with the geochemical gold anomalies along Mulga Bill’s southern extension and the Bella and New Australian South areas.
“We are excited to have recently completed the planned major geochemical soil survey at the Meeka East gold project,” Mr Freedman said, adding that the results aim to extend and confirm the initial gold anomaly in the northern leases and generate anomalies in the south over a potential total strike of 23 kilometres.
“The additional information from the historical airborne EM survey adds another level of information and reinforces the model and extends the areas of prospectivity.”
The soil program used minus eighty mesh (170 micron) sieved samples of fine soil, which will be assayed by four acid digests with mass spectrometer analyses with a detection limit of 0.1 part per billion (PPB) gold. Mr Freedman said the method has been successful in detecting low-level anomalies under transported cover.
Mamba expects to receive assays and have them interpreted in April. They will then be used to plan the maiden drilling targeted to take place as soon as practicable once heritage and regulatory approvals are received.
Meeka East is south of Great Boulder’s (GBR:ASX) million-ounce Side Well project.
M24 is steady at 1.8¢ today.
