The Sunny Corner Tenements cover an area of approximately 200.1 square kilometres around the village of Sunny Corner located about 6 kilometres north of the Great Western Highway , between Lithgow and Bathurst in New South Wales .
EL 5964 contains the historic Sunny Corner Mine, which was mined for silver in the years 1881 to 1893, as well as other prospects including the historic Nevada Mine which was mined for silver, lead and copper.
Golden Cross Resources Limited conducted drilling at the Sunny Corner Minesite and intersected massive sulphide mineralization as shown below.
The southern extent of the known mineralisation at Sunny Corner is marked by a fault with strata on the south side displaced downwards relative to the strata on the north side. The extent of mineralisation in the strata on the southern side of this fault has yet to be tested. The extent of the mineralisation at Nevada also remains to be fully defined.
Sunny Corner Exploration Programme
A VTEM Survey is proposed over the areas of likely sulphide mineralisation at Sunny Corner both to guide proposed drilling and to identify other possible targets.
Depending on the VTEM Survey results a programme of drilling is proposed to the south of the Sunny Corner Mine to establish whether mineralisation extends south of the fault bounding the current known extent to the deposit. The nature and extent of the mineralisation at Nevada will also be further investigated by a programme of drilling. |
