Commencement of Geophysical Survey
Perth, June 27, 2012 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Archer Exploration Limited (
ASX:AXE) advises that a program of 2,000 line km of RepTEM has commenced over Archer's Campoona Graphite Deposit and its northeastern and southwestern strike extensions as well as covering Archer's main regional graphite targets (Figs 1 & 2).
The Company's 100% owned Campoona Graphite Project is located approximately 12km north of the township of Cleve on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
An early aerial survey was conducted over the Campoona Central Area, immediately around the Campoona South outcrop. The data collected from that airborne survey enabled accurate position of drilling in areas where graphite was concealed beneath soil cover.
The survey is being flown by Geosolutions Pty Ltd and is divided into 3 areas:
- Areas 1 to 3 (Fig. 2) cover the extension of the Campoona Graphite Deposit.
- Areas 4 to 6 cover the widespread Mt Shannon graphite occurrence.
- Area 7 covers the Wilklow to Miltalie occurrences that have previously recorded large flake graphite.
RepTEM is a proprietary time domain EM system that is slung below a helicopter with the system sensor positioned 30 metres above ground surface. The survey is expected to provide very high quality mapping of the highly conductive graphitic horizons and allow the accurate positioning of subsequent drilling.
It is anticipated that the survey will take 7 days to complete with a further 4 to 6 weeks to process the data.
