KWR down to 16c
@Sean K, they've acquired a specialized dd rig for drilling on soft salt lake surfaces. Not sure of the reasons for delay apart from previous rig getting bogged.
As for what I see, have you read any posts or announcements. This is a previously undrilled prospect in Kalgoorlie terrane. They've only used aircore so far so only got a sniff if the bedrock below lake sediment. But every hole has come up with significant mineralisation and this is over a large area. The samples of gravel below the sediment are highly suggestive of a 'deep lead' from a reef nearby, if nor directly below. The gold bearing chips are angular and large suggesting they have not travelled far. This is analogous to the tier one Kanowna Belle deposit in the locality where a deep lead was initially discovered beneath cover. I believe I am right in recalling that their expert Geology consultant said that salt lakes occur for a reason - implying I believe underlying past water movement. Anyway we will see, I have punted 410k shares.
Tacked on 20,000 @ 0.17 for some shopping therapy.
Still of a mind that the price chart is consolidating within a triangle awaiting drilling information. I guess this would be invalidated by a close below 0.165 unless it rapidly recovers. Volume is tiny.
Aircore on Googarrie has been going on for weeks and the truth telling DD campaign is imminent if not overdue.
Quote Feb 1:
"... the planned initial 3,000m diamond core drilling program is
scheduled to commence in February 2022, with a new customised drill rig
already onsite. This will be a critical programme in delineating the primary
mineralised controls within Sir Laurence so we will be in a position to
potentially define economic gold resources in the future”

The reason I said the salt lake is there for a reason is because it sits on top of a set of major structures (in particular the D4 set of NW-SE trending faults I have shown in numerous diagrams, these faults can be the conduits for hydrothermal mineralised flows). Deep weathering of the bedrock preferentially follows the structures and so a large deep river system developed flowing from west to east. It eventually made its way to the ocean which at the time covered the Eucla Basin to the east of Goongarrie and Kalgoorlie. In more recent times sediments filled the valley and with the current climate this became a salt lake due to the lower rainfall and higher evaporation rates. You see something similar at Kambalda where there are large gold deposits under the salt lake
