and CSIRO Investigate Braeside Base Metal Alteration Perth, May 21, 2018 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Rumble Resources Limited ( 1000km2) - See Image 2 in link below.
CSIRO will support Rumble Resources in their exploration R&D efforts as part of an Innovation Connections project. The study by CSIRO will include:
- Collection and evaluation of public (ASTER) and commercially (WorldView-3) available multispectral spaceborne data which will map:
o Background alteration.
o Major geological units.
o Alteration assemblages potentially associated with base metal mineralisation.
o Dominant structures with additional aeromagnetic data.
The study objectives are to:
- Evaluate multispectral remote sensing imagery for mapping alteration mineral assemblages potentially associated with Pb/Zn occurrences.
- Evaluate the potential for extrapolating remotely sensed mineral footprints from outcrop/subcrop areas to in-situ covered areas.
- Investigate spatial and/or genetic relationships of sericite-silica and chlorite alteration with Pb/Zn values.
The study is expected to be completed in 5 months, running parallel with Rumble's current exploration program at the Braeside Project.
The CSIRO research team that will work on this project comprises of:
- Dr Vaclav Metelka (project lead) - Remote sensing data for geological mapping, exploration and integration of multiscale geoscience data
- Dr Andrew Rodger - Geosoftware and Algorithms
- Dr Carsten Laukamp - Mineral Footprints - Hyperspectral geology
