MEGWA Nov 22: M Hickman/A Anderson: Unlocking Hidden Potential Through Geoscience Driven Exploration

Unlocking hidden potential through Geoscience Driven Exploration: Case Studies from the Coquimbo Region, Chile & Marvel Loch, WA By Melanie Hickman and Adam Anderson Adam and Melanie will share real project examples of how applying a dynamic and versatile approach to exploration has unlocked previously overlooked potential, opening up the prospectivity of the projects to new and different styles of mineralisation, despite facing some very unique challenges along the way. The journey which led to recent significant advancements in both Southern Hemisphere Mining Ltd’s Llahuin & Colina2 Projects will be discussed, along with how geoscience driven exploration at Marvel Loch not only led to a 93.3Mt kaolin JORC compliant resource at Boomerang for Kula Gold Ltd, but more excitingly, why they think GSWA will soon be recolouring the geology maps – and what this means for gold exploration the region (Hint: it’s pretty … exciting!).
