Bourkes Find Project
Lode Gold Mineralisation
The Bourkes Find project area is located 15km southeast of Meekatharra township and comprises five mining leases covering 39km2. The area is mostly under cover and dotted with historic workings and shafts up to 25-30m deep.
Silver Swan Group's exploration is for supergene- and lode-gold mineralisation in structurally complex mafic volcanic rocks.

At Bourkes Find, an initial drilling programme returned excellent results at Bourkes Reward East with best results of 10BFRC014 returning 16m @ 2g/t Au from 44m, with a high grade core of 5m @ 5.2g/t Au and 10BFRC015 returned 5m @ 1.4g/t incl.2m @ 3.0g/t Au from 19m depth as well as a large low grade interval over 17m of 0.6g/t Au from 19m. Bourkes Find returned lower grades as shown in the Table below. Both areas will be followed up with further drilling.
The area remains an exciting, untested prospect for additional drilling. Shallow historic RAB drill holes contain anomalous gold assays in every line, which are spaced at 160m intervals over a strike length of 800m. This drill data and the aeromagnetic data from the area suggests the potential for two or more parallel zones of gold mineralisation, as well as potential for extensions to exist further along strike in both directions.
