Look at this on a computer as phones don’t show the detail!! This figure shows EagleEye structural geology and magnetic domain intensity plans and sections of the Kooneberry Project in NSW. This is a fairly complicated figure for you time-poor geoscientists to absorb. However, for those in active orebody hunting it will be worth your while!
If I’d had this level of detailed structural geology when I was drilling (and rediscovering) Stawell 44 years ago i would have honed right in on the high grade areas straight away – and found the Golden Gift which is clearly outlined in the EagleEye 3D inversion section (see https://www.geotreks.com.au/work/giant-ring-structures/australia/eagleeye-system-to-target-mineralisation-stawell-and-nsw/). It works!
Plan 1. Structural geology of the magnetic anomaly. Detailed structure is observed. Compare this to the original magnetic plan where no structure is seen. These EagleEye plans have huge benefits, both in ore location and lower exploration costs, for the geoscientists who are brave enough to test the structural geology with drilling.
Section 2. Structural geology of the 3d inversion section. Detailed structure is observed. Compare this to the original 3d inversion section where no structure is seen. As above the benefits of being able to target in 3Dimensions will prove invaluable to the pioneers who implement this new technology.
Plan 3 and Section 4. Domains of magnetic intensity in plan and section. If these plans represent domains of the intensity of the magnetic signature then the red and mauve colours would be the best locations to find orebodies. Very simple! Get drilling!
The plans and sections correlate best if the plan is at about 300-500m depth and the section is through the centre of the anomaly. I’d be interested to see if my observations are correct.
As stated before I’ll be interested to follow the drilling progress of the DDHs into this interesting area.
