Westar Resources Limited announced the commencement of a ground fixed loop electromagnetic survey (FLEM) at the Gidgee North Project. The FLEM survey, which will be completed by late January, is the next step in establishing the veracity of the geophysical and geochemical anomalies already identified for potential VMS-style sulphides in at least six separate prospects. The survey is being managed by Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd. (Newexco) who will also interpret the processed data and model any significant conductors identified for Westar to target with follow-up drilling. The FLEM survey will capture data over previously identified SkyTEM conductor anomaliesIn addition, the survey will also cover several prospects in the recently acquired and contiguous Geoff Well tenement. Together, these prospects and interpreted SkyTEM anomalies form approximately 7km strike length of potential VMS stratigraphy immediately west and south west of Horizon Gold's drilled Altair Zn-Cu prospect. Upon completion of the FLEM field survey work, Newexco will process the data and model significant conductors that are identified. Westar intends to then then immediately plan, prepare and execute a first pass RC drill programme, targeting the modelled conductors, to verify the VMS model and the presence of sulphide mineralisation. The Gidgee North Project is located approximately 640km northeast of Perth in Western Australia. Gidgee North forms one of the two Sandstone Projects being Gidgee North (E53/1832-I held by Shumwari Pty Ltd, E53/1920 and E51/2044) and Gidgee South (E57/1055, M57/352, P57/1363 and P57/1368) covering approximately 325 km2. The Projects lie within the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt of
the Youami Terrane, which forms a lensed, broadly sinusoidal belt measuring some 100km in length and 24km in width. The Gum Creek Greenstone Belt has historically produced over 1M Oz of gold and hosts over 1.35 M Oz of gold Mineral Resource. Previous exploration over the Gidgee North Project were largely focused on near mine environs or known shear zones and structures, with regional exploration comprising limited, shallow rotary air blast (RAB) and soil geochemical sampling programs. Various targets have been defined within the current Project tenures by former explorers, many of which are considered by Westar to remain untested. In addition, large areas of the Project remain essentially unexplored despite covering favourable geological and structural settings. More recent auger soil geochemical sampling, targeting gold in 2018 and 2019, by Rafaella Resources defined several key target areas comprising favourable geological and structural settings, namely Bills Bore, Fairy Well and Bonza Bore.
