It is anticipated that drilling at Sothman will be preceded by very detailed airborne geophysical surveys to detect additional sulphide targets within the 5 km long host ultramafic unit. Surface channel sampling by Hucamp has confirmed the very high grade nature of this occurrence. Additional stripping and sampling by Hucamp resulted in the discovery of two more local high grade zones along strike. The host ultramafic unit is indicated to have a strike length in excess of 400 meters. Of particular importance, subsequent very limited PGE assay work by Falconbridge suggests that the Dundonald South Deposit may have considerable PGE potential.
Results are pending.
A number of such channels are postulated to comprise the overall deposit.
