Moonta Project – modern exploration history timelineMoonta Project – modern exploration history timeline

Historical exploration at Moonta was dominated by mid caps and majors which needed to find very large resources. This presents Adelaide Resources with a valuable historical database and a scale opportunity. The opportunity is significantly enhanced by improved copper prices since the mid 2000’s.

• Both are interpreted to be IOCG deposits.• Host rock packages are very similar.• Both are structurally controlled.• Relation to likely genetically linked granite very similar.• Main FeOx metasomatite displaced from mineralisation.• Alteration phases reportedly very similar. • Both have significant molybdenum.

Alford West SummaryAlford West Summary• First discovered in 1970’s – rediscovered in 2013 by checking

open file DMITRE reports.

• Defined by a 3.5 kilometre long auger copper geochemical anomaly. ADN drilling has tested 1.1 kilometres so far, with copper-gold mineralisation present on every drill traverse.

• Exceptional potential exists to define a valuable resource.

• Deposit geology is interpreted to be of IOCG style.

• West Alford analogous to Mt Dore/Merlin, and Alford Copper Belt analogous to Starra Shear/Mt Dore Fault Zone in QLD.
