2013 Processing & Mining Performance
2013 exploration program Taparko ML
A.
Geophysics newly acquired 100x100m airborne geophysics data (magnetics, radiometrics,
VTEM electromagnetics) increases the technical level of the geophysics at the scale of the
ML compared to the regional government surveys
B.
Geochemistry-regional geochemistry will sample termite mounds** instead of traditional
soils, at 200 x 200m spacing, compared to previous 400 x 400m; in-fill sampling of anomalies.
identified close to the ROMpad may be performed prior to complete coverage of the ML at
200 x 200m
C.
Mapping increase the technical level of the mapping by using senior geologists
-
D.
Continue resource/reserve drilling in close proximity to the existing open pits.

Special attention to the northern extension of 3/5 pit, using S plunge model
Special attention to Goengo, 15 km from the ROM pad, where significant exploration potential
may be opened up with detailed mapping and intepretation of existing drilling, integrated with
the new detailed geophysics.View entire presentation
