- •
The deposit showed good response to all the geophysical methods used (VLEM, HLEM, TURAM EM, gravity and magnetics).
- •
There is good correlation on the ground between geophysical anomalies and those from the geochemical soil sampling.
- •
Good response to gravity method provided confidence that it was a massive sulphide deposit.
- •
Test drilling on the basis of recommendations from this study encountered massive sulphides.
- •
Comparison with other massive sulphide deposits show that the deposit share a number of characteristics with them.
