Fountain Head Exploration
Exploration Overview
Target generation for large-scale, standalone discoveries
•
Pine Creek region hosts >10moz gold endowment
Gold mineralisation typically occurs within structurally-
controlled zones of sulphide-bearing quartz veins and
stockworks proximal to regional scale anticlinal fold hinges
All known deposits at Pine Creek were outcropping
Virtually no drill testing below cover
PNX's drilling database comprises nearly one million
metres of drilling; >A$120m replacement cost
Most drilling associated with known mineralisation and to
shallow depths: Average depth of RC drilling 64 metres, &
147 metres for diamond
Large portion of landholding remains
untested in the primary zone
Field work commenced, drill testing
to follow
