Glen Eden Project

The Glen Eden prospect is characterised by an extensive zone of hydrothermal alteration of the host rhyolitic volcanics (Phase 1) with a mapped extent of approximately 1,500 m by 800 m. An irregular 500m diameter core complex of veining and greisen breccias (Phase 2) is overprinted by more intense stockworks and greisen breccia (Phase 3) clearly seen in the soil geochemistry for W and Mo, (Figures 2 and 3). Beyond the greisen core, a broader alteration halo consisting of sericitic, phyllic, and potassic zones extends over a significant area, indicating a potentially large mineralised system. The intrusive system from which the mineralisation is sourced is not exposed at surface, nor has it been intersected in pervious diamond drilling to 385m depth. 3D modelling of the system by Amoco (1981) suggested that deeper untested areas might contain a large molybdenum-tungsten Urad/Henderson style deposit.

Project Highlights:

  • Mineralisation includes Mo, W, Sn and Bi in a clearly defined multi-phase brecciated greisen and stockwork complex approx. 500m in diameter hosted in rhyolitic volcanics.
  • Diamond drilling has been undertaken by pervious explorers to 385m vertical depth with mineralisation still strong at EOH and thus open at depth in all directions.
  • GENSW80-1 282m @ 0.11% MoS2,, 0.02% SnO2 and 0.08% WO3 for 0.28% WO3 equ2 from 7m
  • GENSW80-2 235m @ 0.10% MoS2,, 0.03% SnO2 and 0.06% WO3 for 0.25% WO3 equ from 15m
  • GENSW81-5 392m @ 0.06% MoS2,, 0.01% SnO2 and 0.025% WO3 for 0.14% WO3 equ from 3m
  • There is also significant Bismuth with the Mo – that above holes average 150ppm.
  • Metallurgical work by Amoco in 1981 using hole GENSW-1 showed good recoveries of 58%Sn, 66%W and 86%Mo to potentially saleable SnW and MoBi concentrates.
  • Geochemistry and alteration patterns are consistent with a major system and historic drilling suggesting potential for deeper Henderson-type high-grade Mo-W ore shells.

Exploration Target to 100 to 150m depth of 20 to 30Mt @ 0.05 to 0.08% WO3, 0.02 to 0.04% SnO2 and 0.06 to 0.10% MoS2 for 0.18 to 0.29% WO3 equ
