OVERVIEW:
A 3,667 line km VTEM and airborne magnetic survey has commenced over the majority of Block 4 – expected to take around 4-5 weeks to complete (Figure 1-2)
Block 4 includes over 35km in strike of prospective ophiolite with multiple prospective copper-gold contacts identified
Significant opportunity – Block 4 is a prime target for the application of VTEM – first time VTEM has been applied to the Block
All new copper discoveries in Oman over the past 10 years have largely come out of the application of VTEM
Proven regional success with VTEM survey – in 2009 in neighbouring Blocks 1 and 2, VTEM survey discovered over 11Mt of new copper mineralisation, identifying massive sulphide orebodies with no surface outcrop
