Abstract:
The Andromeda Zn-Cu-Au-Ag prospect is a geophysical discovery that represents the first VMS prospect of significance in the Albany-Fraser Orogenic belt, Western Australia. The prospect was first identified following a ground Transient Moving Loop Electromagnetic survey over a structural ellipse that is recognised in aeromagnetic data and has similarities to the Nova “eye”. A conductive plate, 450 m from surface was drilled, but it was the subsequent Down Hole Transient Electromagnetic survey that ultimately led to the intersection of 29.9 m @ 2.5% Zn, 1.4% Cu from 548 m and confirmed the discovery.
