Strategic Elements has begun an extensive field work campaign for identifying significant precious metals sources at the West Coast. Once the company obtains the data from the geological team, it will release the results of every prospect.
The company has planned to include field work at the Mandamus rare metals project located in the East Coast, field work on the Australian projects, field work on several projects present in the West coast, the starting of work on a new and considerable tin or tungsten project in Ireland, aerial geophysical surveys for identifying the geological bodies present beneath the cover in the phase activity.
The Company’s field team has commenced the complete exploration of the geologically rich belt that is contiguous to the regional Alpine Fault, South Island. Until January 2012 end, it will gradually start the work on every prospect.
The west coast area is considered to contain mineral prospectives, though most of the project’s surface area is enclosed by vegetation due to rainfall and humidity. Because of the enclosed surface, the area of the project remains highly underexplored.
The company is expecting to suddenly accelerate the exploration, by means of New Zealand government’s grants for an aerial geophysical survey to give data concealed under the west coast’s surface. It is anticipating the starting of the survey by this month.
Strategic Elements has begun a geochemical survey over different prospects connected to ten separate granite belts nearby the Alpine fault. Rangitoto, Falls Creek, Bell Hill, and French Creek are included in these prospects.
Currently, the geological group is at the French Creek and is performing rock chip sampling and stream pan concentrates at the dykes, contact zones and altered zones to discover the possible economic mineralization regions. The company receives the helicopter’s support to facilitate the exploration on the Hohonu Ranges’ tops.
