Exploration Potential

• Havilah controls more than 6500 square kilometres of continuous tenements in the well mineralised Curnamona Province that is prospective for a variety of commodities, including copper, gold, molybdenum, lead, zinc, cobalt and uranium.
• Geological setting of granite-cored structural domes that are cut by large regional  fracture systems is conducive to the formation of major mineral deposits.
• Over $80 million (in current dollars) spent by major companies in the past has led to the discovery of numerous promising prospects, many with ore-grade intersections that have not been adequately drilled (see map).
• Extensive cover has masked the mineralisation, but geophysics, detailed knowledge of the regional geology and in-house drilling capacity has turned this to an advantage for Havilah (eg at Kalkaroo and Mutooroo, where Havilah’s drilling has outlined sizeable mineral deposits).
• Probability for discovery of repetitions of Kalkaroo style copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation are high both in the Kalkaroo north and south domes and in other domes (eg Lake Charles, Eurinilla and Benagerie domes).
• Widespread lead-zinc mineralisation in a particular horizon that is recognised throughout the region as the  Broken Hill lode equivalent (eg at Deep Well and McBrides Dam prospects).
• Uranium mineralisation well known in Tertiary palaeochannel sands from the Beverley, Honeymoon and Oban discoveries.
• Major new mineral discoveries on Havilah’s ground are highly probable, and the Curnamona Province is likely to be transformed into a significant new metal mining province over the next decade.
