Reported that the first drill hole at the Aphrodite gravity anomaly (AS09D03) was completed to a depth of 804 m. Basement was intersected at 671 m. The basement granitic rocks display moderate red-rock alteration due to dispersed submicroscopic haematite grains and widespread sericitic alteration, especially near a number of thin brecciated shear zones. More significantly, the granitic bedrock is cut by a number of thin brecciated haematite veins as well as late-stage calcite-dolomite veins. Minor copper mineralisation is present within haematite veins as chalcopyrite and within calcite-dolomite veins as bornite On Jan 13/09, a new gravity anomaly (the Aphrodite Prospect) has been defined by surveys

Successfully delineated crystalline basement and basement conductors, with shallowest basement of ~700 m. Further evaluation of the AMT data and planning of follow-up drilling continue. Further gravity and magnetotelluric surveys are planned for 2009.
