Red Tipper

M36/204 - RED TIPPER ( Renewable 27/12/2011) 243 Ha.

This tenement contains one small historic gold working and a wide area of alluvial gold in nugget form. The collar and pillar of the shaft were very rich in gold indicating that a high grade mineralisation and a valuable mine exists.
For a large lease very little drilling has been carried out. In 1987 Forsayth Mining drilled 7 holes at the old workings with the best result shown above. They intended to continue drilling but a program on their own nearby lease returned such good results that they shifted all drilling rigs to that site. This was to become the Redeemer Gold Mine one of the best gold producers in the district for many years. Best result : 5m @ 1.56g/t inc. 1m @ 3.4g/t

One of 3 tenements which have been held for about 20 years by 3 prospectors who have now reached retirement age. They are granted mining leases and free of native title. All the leases contain alluvial gold and have historical mine workings. As a result of using the dolly and dish method to test samples and having the gold ore treated with a single head battery few recorded assays or gold returns exist. However some samples and assay results have been produced by other interested parties. An Information Memorandum discussing these results is available on request.
