Horse Spring
Zinc Co holds 100% of the Horse Spring Zinc Projects in the Kimberley District, Western Australia. The project is situated approximately 45km east of Fitzroy Crossing in the East Kimberley Mineral Field and consists of a single exploration licence application.
Location and Geology of the Horse Spring Project
Previous exploration drilling at Horse Spring returned significant zinc and lead sulphide from depths generally less than 200 metres, hosted by limestone in and adjacent to, the Linder Hill Fault Zone including:
- HPD1 4m @ 7.65% Zn + 0.42% Pb
- HPD2 26m @ 1.5% (Zn + Pb)
- HPD3 10m @ 3.0% (Zn + Pb)
- HD7 4m @ 1.2% (Zn + Pb) and 2m @ 1.8% (Zn + Pb)
Mineralisation at Horse Spring is of the Mississippi Valley-Type and similar to that at the Falconbridge (Xstrata) - Teck Cominco owned Blendevale and Cadjebut mines located 35km south-west and 55 km south respectively.
Previous exploration was focused on a target of sub-horizontal stratform zinc mineralisation hosted by Upper Devonian platform and marginal-slope carbonate rocks. All significant drilling results form the project have been returned from holes testing for zinc mineralisation hosted within that steep westerly dipping Linder Hill Fault zone. Holes that effectively test the fault zone cover only 525 metres of strike, yet the fault has been mapped over a further 6 kilometres. IP surveying has identified strong to moderate chargeability anomalies coincident with mineralisation. These anomalies extend a further 1km south and 400 metres north of previous drilling as well as identifying new targets in the north of the tenement area.
The project requires additional drilling to test for zinc deposits hosted within carbonate rocks cut by the Linder Hill Fault zone. The target is well defined and warrants significant exploration effort.
