Western Mines Group Ltd. updated shareholders on the commencement of a major fieldwork program at the Melita Project. The Melita Project comprises exploration licence E40/379, covering an area of approximately 105km2, located 20km south-southeast of Leonora and close to the Kookynie gold mining centre, in the heart of the WA Goldfields. Following an initial field visit back in June, WMG is now commencing a major follow up ground exploration program focused on gold and Cu-Pb-Zn VMS targets across the project area. WMG has identified two parallel trends of historical gold workings, and recent gold prospecting nugget patches, associated with the historical Princess Melita high-grade gold workings. These trends extend along a cumulative strike of approximately 4km. The Company is mobilising to site this week to commence soil sampling, ground magnetic survey and geological mapping work in order to define initial aircore (AC) drill targets. Recent rock chip results collected by the Company appear to confirm the location of the "Airstrip Cu- Pb-Zn Gossan", described in historical exploration reports from the 1970-80's. Assay results returned up to 1.27% Zn. This area will also be the focus of soil sampling, ground magnetic survey and geological mapping work, along with reconnaissance to identify further VMS gossans along this trend. The Melita Project comprises exploration licence E40/379, covering an area of approximately 105km2. The project is located 20km south-southeast of Leonora and to the north of the Kookynie, Niagara and Orient Well-Butterfly gold mining centres, in the heart of the WA Goldfields. The Kookynie area has seen recent upswing in exploration activity, with WMG's Melita Project surrounded by the likes of Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD), Saturn Metals (ASX:STN), Azure Minerals (ASX:AZS) and KIN Mining (ASX:KIN), along with other companies such as Metalicity (ASX:MCT) and Carnavale Resources (ASX:CAV). Earlier in the year the Company engaged satellite remote sensing specialists Earthscan to complete satellite based targeting work. This work involved mineral alteration interpretation and mapping, based on ASTER and Landsat satellite data, and identified 19 target areas with favourable alteration signatures, across the tenement (Table 1). In many cases these target areas are associated with major regional structures and/or also associated with evidence of historical workings. A number of the targets were visited and ground-truthed during the recent June site visit and the remainder will visited over the coming months.
