Mr. Chris Reindler reports
CALDERA RESOURCES INC. - YILGARN CRATON DIAMOND PROJECT - WES ...
Caldera Resources has completed a drill program at the Yilgarn craton
project. The Yilgarn project, which is located in Western Australia and
covers approximately 1,300 square kilometres, is joint ventured with
SouthernEra Resources Ltd.
Nine aeromagnetic anomalies were tested by reverse circulation drilling for
a total of 677 metres. The drill program included deeper drilling at four
targets which were drilled during 2001 to depths ranging from 38 metres to
45 metres. Three of these targets were drilled beyond 70 metres during the
recent program and five new targets were drilled, including three to depths
between 60 metres to 80 metres.
The joint venture partners consider the drill program to be a success with
the recovery of fresh ultrabasic material from some of the holes. Thin
sections of drill chips from four anomalies are currently being examined by
a consultant petrologist. Further work is required at other targets; this
will include samples being processed in Perth for heavy mineral
concentration and indicator mineral recovery.
Approximately 80 samples have been submitted for multielement geochemical
analysis. Drill material from two targets is of particular interest to the
joint venture partners. Forty kilograms of sample from each of these
targets will be sent to Canada for indicator mineral and microdiamond
recovery.
Results of the petrographic analyses will be made available when received
by Caldera. Indicator mineral and microdiamond results are expected during
the current quarter.
Martin E. Jackson, MAusIMM, is the qualified person responsible for the
technical information contained in this press release.
