1.0 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

A large aircore drilling program was completed in the Chalice West Project. The results defined gold anomalism in a setting analogous with the nearby Chalice gold deposit, together with distinct nickel anomalism and widespread, elevated REE concentrations in clays. RC drilling is planned for early February to further advance the multiple opportunities.

Mine planning and permitting for the Jeffreys Find Gold Project made substantial progress.

2.0 CHALICE WEST PROJECT

A large aircore drilling program was completed with 227 holes drilled for 7,227m. The program design recognised the potential for gold, nickel and rare earth elements (REE) in the Chalice West Project. The program focussed on known gold anomalism associated with ultramafic and mafic units intersected by Resolute Limited in a 1997 aircore drilling program.

Auric interpreted the geology intersected in the Resolute drill holes to mirror that hosting the Chalice Gold Mine approximately 8km to the northeast, separated by a granodiorite dome which Auric informally refers to as the Chalice Dome.

Drilling largely focussed on the mirrored Chalice stratigraphy with 197 of the holes drilled at 40m and 80m spacings along a series of 13 traverses. The remainder were drilled at wide spacings to define geology over the broader tenement E15/1801 and extending a short distance into E63/2199 (Figure 1).

Northern Territory Finalises Mine Legacy Remediation Program

The Northern Territory's government has finalised a AU$5.5 million six month mine legacy remediation program for sites located in the Tennant Creek area, a January 9 press release states.

The next phase will involve Alice Springs, where further works are scheduled for later this year.

“Mining has been an integral part of the Northern Territory’s history for more than 150 years, but historical mining activities have left behind a range of legacy features such as open shafts, degraded infrastructure, tailings dams, and waste rock dumps,” said Gerard Maley, deputy chief minister and minister for mining and energy.
