Kat Exploration is pleased to announce the results of its latest
work program on its 100% wholly owned Iron Oxide, Copper,
Gold(IOCG) “Rusty Ridge” property. Coincidental magnetic
Induced Polorization(IP) resistivity and soil geochemical anomalies
suggest potential for a body of Iron Oxide +/- Base, Precious and
Rare Earth type mineralization, similar in style and setting to the
giant Olympic Dam deposit in Australia.
Olympic Dam and related deposits all occur within continental
rift sequence rocks adjacent to major structures. The Rusty Ridge
is located within a continental extensional environment within
peralkaline rocks emplaced adjacent to a regional fault system. The
presence of a large magnetic body(can be viewed on Kat’s
website)that appears to be intrusive into the overlying rock
sequences that appear regionally altered, are variably pyretic and
contain vein type fluorite mineralization and appears to suggest a
magnetic origin for the mineralization.
The latest work program carried out on the far northern portion
of the property has revealed new gold discoveries as high as 2 g/t
and elevated Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE). This latest
discovery is of most interest to the company as it is approximately
1kms from the magnetic anomalies in an under explored area.
A completed 3D inversion modeling of the airborne magnetic data,
(can be viewed on Kat’s website) show a discreet, strong
magnetic anomaly underlying the Rusty Ridge area. Coincidental with
this are moderate to strong IP chargeability anomalies that suggest
a significant concentration of sulfides. Those large anomalies have
been determined as future drill targets that Kat would hope to test
mid 2010.
Anomalous levels of the Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) cerium
and lanthanum, all present in Olympic Dam (and others) were not
only detected in soils but also in rock samples. As well other rare
earth elements Yttrium(Y), Niobium(NB), Zirconium(ZR) along with
Uranium, were all detected in both soil and rock samples. In
addition, the soil geochemistry also produced anomalies in silver,
gold and copper.
The host rocks for most of the mineral occurrences and the unit
overlying the most intense portion of the magnetic anomaly is a
brecciated, hematitic felsic volcanic rock, locally with veins of
purple fluorite and disseminated pyrite.
