Recent geophysical survey reveals new targets generated by a new high-tech magneto-tellurics airborne geophysical survey.
Potential for Tier 1 porphyry related Cu-Au deposits at Mt. Victor, Ebitara & P2 Prospects.
Sabundia Hill, Onga Hill & Elandora prospects with potential for high grade Au deposits similar to Kora deposit of K92 Mining & Porgera-style intrusion-related gold deposits.
Mt Victor Drill Ready Targets
Historic drilling indicate that Mt Victor is a multi-phase intrusion complex with Cu-Au porphyry, skarn & epithermal mineralization

Historic shallow drillholes of the 1980's were all vertical mainly targeting the flat skarn type mineralization of Mt Victor Au deposit. Drilling would not have been appropriate for the subvertical fault/vein zones.
SIROTEM geophysical survey indicates NE trending structurally controlled sulphide&oxide gossan mineralization as well as broader intrusion related mineralization.
