4.4 HOWE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE EXPLORATION

The GEMCOM database that is available for the Bissett Mine is a powerful 3D analytical

tool and should be utilised to its full capacity. The database includes all of the available

mine data from physical openings to survey data with all geological and assay data

integrated into this spatial entity. The GEMCOM software can be used to develop threedimensional

models of each vein zone in the mine as well as the hanging and footwall

contacts of the SAM unit.

A full and thorough evaluation of the spatial relationships between all of the known veins

should be completed and integrated with their relationships to the hanging wall and

footwall contacts of the SAM unit.

It is highly likely that significant patterns will be recognised from such a 3D analysis.

These patterns can be used to develop conceptual ideas that may have hitherto not been

recognised from a 2D analysis (i.e. by use of plans, cross sections, and longitudinal

sections).

Howe would also note that there have been recent advances in geophysical technology

(Quantec Titan 24 and GOCAD 3D geophysical modelling) that might allow creation of a

3D model of the SAM unit along strike from the current mine workings. There is at least

7000 feet of relatively unexplored SAM unit on the mining lease to the east and west of

the Bissett Mine workings plus an additional 11,000 feet of strike length on the San Norm

property to the east.

The geometry of the SAM unit is obviously quite critical to the development of lode gold

mineralisation within the unit. Combining new geophysical technology with a detailed

analysis of the immediate mine area using the GEMCOM software could lead to the

definition of exploration areas for potential new ore zones in close proximity to the mill
