The LP (Ridge Zone) occurrence is located on a ridge separating Murray and East Murray creeks, at an elevation of 1400 metres.

The area is underlain by andesitic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Pimainus Formation (Spences Bridge Group).

Locally, disseminated pyrite is associated with an east-west trending zone, over 55 metres strike length, of chlorite and clay (kaolinite) alteration and minor ankerite-zeolite veining hosted within an amygdaloidal andesite flow.

In 2007, grab samples returned values of up to 2.01 grams per tonne gold, while a 1 metre trench sample assayed 1.44 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 29634).

Work History

In 2006 and 2007, Strongbow Explorations completed a program of geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area.

In 2017 and 2018, Westhaven Ventures completed programs of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, 2376 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, 31.8 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveys, a 6 line-kilometre passive seismic survey and 29 diamond drill holes, totalling 11 882 metres, on the area as part of the Spences Bridge Group (SBG) of properties.

In 2019, Westhaven completed a program of prospecting, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, petrographic and Terraspec analysis on select 2018 drillcore samples, a LiDAR survey, 327 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveys, a 20.3 line-kilometre DC resistivity survey and 49 diamond drill holes, totalling 21 849.3 metres, on the Spences Bridge Group (SBG) of properties.

In 2020, Westhaven completed a further program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling, various ground geophysical surveys and 102 diamond drill holes, totalling 43 268.7 metres, on the Spences Bridge Group (SBG) of properties.
