Truscott is currently updating its Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) under JORC (2012).
THE NEXT TENNANT CREEK MINE
- ■The 100% Truscott owned Westminster Project sits within the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF), on the edge of Tennant Creek Township.
- ■The distinctive Tennant Creek-style mineralisation: providing credits of gold, copper, bismuth, and iron.
- ■Orebody One: Historical Mineral Resource Estimate of 111,330 t @ 25.6 g/t Au for 91,750 oz (JORC 2004), using only 73 of the 167 intercepts (≥ 0.5 g/t Au) across Westminster.
- ■JORC 2012 compliant MRE update is in progress.
- ■Potential low-cost, near-term gold production in the Northern Territory, a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction.
- ■Long-term exploration potential.
Truscott's study area with the central area of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) with structural geological interpretation and total magnetic intensity (TMI) aeromagnetic image (Geoscience Australia, 2019) — warm colours represent a stronger magnetic signature. The inset map shows the Westminster Project's proximity to Tennant Creek.
STRUCTURALLY CONTROLLED MINERALISATION
- ■The 100% Truscott owned Westminster Project sits within the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF).
- ■Westminster's placement is part of a mineralisation distribution pattern, which includes notable historical mines.
- ■Truscott's research indicates mineralisation/orebodies across the TCMF are structurally controlled.
- ■Structural linkages are components of the broader structural framework.
- ■The spatial pattern is observed within aeromagnetic imagery (right) and describes the controls over mineral deposit distribution.
RESOURCE EXTENSION POTENTIAL
- ■Westminster has recorded 167 significant gold intercepts (≥ 0.5 g/t Au). Orebody One's JORC 2004 MRE was calculated using only 73 intercepts.
- ■Mineralisation is concentrated within a dilation zone extending over 400 m within a structural corridor.
- ■Mineralisation remains open at depth and in multiple directions (Orebody Exploration Target One).
- ■Structurally focused geological modelling suggests the potential for multiple dilation zones across a central structural corridor, defining three structural targets.
- ■Further exploration potential: gold mineralisation extensions and resource growth across Westminster.
