Multiple high priority targets identified in regional EM survey
Iterative processing adds evidence to several existing Tempest exploration targets
Appreciable anomaly coincident with 4km Remorse base metal drill target
Summary
Tempest Minerals Ltd (TEM) is pleased to update the market on the company’s 100% owned Yalgoo Projects.
TEM previously announced it was conducting a large-scale regional electromagnetic survey. Results received
from this survey have indicated the presence of multiple anomalies and further confirm the presence of the
large number exploration targets and prospectivity at the project areas. Notably an anomaly exists coincident
with the 4km Remorse base metal target. TEM is continuing to process the data using different parameters
and models to harvest further targets and detail.
Yalgoo
Background
TEM’s landholding in the Yalgoo Region of Western Australia
which totals more than 1,000km2 of 100% owned tenements
highly prospective for base and precious metals. The project
contains different geological domains referred to by four
different areas – namely: Messenger, Meleya, War West, Euro though much of these have considerable geological overlap.
TEM previously announced the commencement of a large
scale regional EM survey across much of the central portion
of the Yalgoo tenements 1. This survey in particular was to
assess the Meleya and War West regions where the company
has been actively exploring through data analysis, fieldwork
and drilling 2. Exploration in these areas has encountered
multiple zones of previously unknown mineralisation to date 3.
Survey
The survey was performed with the purpose of finding
variances in electromagnetic responses from the project
areas. Areas of greater or lesser conductivity and magnetic
susceptibility can represent mineralisation but can also be
influenced by the presence of water, minerals, and other
materials.
Tempest has proven through various methods 4 that the region is fertile for VMS (volcanogenic massive
sulphide) style mineralisation which often hosts copper, zinc, lead and precious metals - as seen at the nearby
Golden Grove Mine Camp 5. Some sulphide mineralization can be conductive and this style of EM survey is
extensively utilised in the industry for identifying this and other types of mineralisation.
The survey included over 300 lines of 200m spacing for more than 2,000 kilometres of line survey
measurements.

Result
The survey is considered to be very successful with high quality preliminary data generated across the entire
project. Some areas of the survey were initially obfuscated by the presence of subsurface groundwater and
Tempest has been producing iterative updated models using varying algorithms and processing techniques to
mitigate this.
The current reprocessed data includes numerous zones of interest for exploration and several potential high
priority drill targets. Notably, among the zones detected are multiple targets coincident with existing Tempest
exploration targets. This includes the presence of an appreciable EM anomaly at the exciting previously
announced 4km long base metal ‘Remorse’ target 6, 7.
Next Steps
-

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,

measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths
of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
●
No drilling or sampling was undertaken
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
●
No drilling or sampling was undertaken
●
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
●
No drilling or sampling was undertaken
●
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
