Suplejack
The Suplejack gold project is located approximately 650 km north-west of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, approximately 80 km north of the Tanami mine and 40 km north of the Groundrush mine.
Heritage surveys have been completed allowing access to the area of the former EL 24167 and an extensive broad spaced soil sampling program is now planned. This work is to test the
extensive spread of soil, drainage and rock chip anomalies that has been obtained over a distance of approximately 25 km along the Old 8 Mile Fault.
This fault intersects the highly prospective Dead Bullock Formation and is overlain by a thin cover of Supplejack Sandstone,
Antrim Volcanics and possibly some Nanny Goat Volcanics. All of these units except for the Antrim Volcanics are known to contain gold mineralisation within the tenement area.
Sampling work has been postponed at present pending resolution of additional permitting requirements which are expected to be resolved in the near future.
ORD interprets that there is over 200 km strike length of untested or undertested structures that are often associated with gold anomalies.
Sufficient resource finds are expected in the near future to begin feasibility studies.
After proving sufficient resources ORD plans to have a central treatment plant that will process ore from a series of small to medium sized deposits, similar in nature to the Tanami mine, where over 40 open pits have contributed ore to the central processing plant.
