28 Aug 2012drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Rock chips at the new Choppy prospect, 400m from Scott Lee at Fitton, assayed up to 4.7% copper with gold and silver. Three more magnetic targets were identified. Follow-up assays are now due late September; first drilling still planned for later in 2012.

Copper mineral (malachite) found in outcrop about 400m southwest of Scott Lee at Fitton, plus a gold target 2km southwest (0.91 g/t). Confirms the new magnetic targets carry copper at surface. Assays due end of August; first drilling still planned late 2012.
10 Aug 2012drilling result▲ Good
Ground magnetic surveys at Fitton found new targets resembling Scott Lee, including a 1,400m by 250m anomaly 2km southwest. Whether they are mineralised is unproven; follow-up sampling is underway and the first drill program is planned later in 2012, subject to approvals.
