Ausmon Resources (ASX:AON) has commenced field exploration for base metals at its Enmore Project in western New South Wales.
The company is conducting soil sampling on 250m by 250m grids across the Pine Creek and West Enmore prospects within the 341km² tenement located 50km south of Broken Hill.
Samples collected will initially be scanned using an Olympus Delta pXRF analyser, with those showing elevated base metal geochemistry sent to the ALS laboratory in Adelaide for gold and multi-element analyses.
The Enmore Project sits within the Thackaringa Group and underlying gneissic sequence, stratographically below the Broken Hill Group. Ausmon targeted the Pine Creek and West Enmore prospects based on northeast-southwest trending shear zones intersecting favourable stratigraphic settings, including surface gossans.
Magnetic imaging highlights these structures, which associate with linear magnetic highs that could represent targets for base metal mineralisation.
The company expects the program to provide geochemical vectors for follow-up exploration across the tenement area.
Ausmon Resources is a mineral explorer focused on exploring and developing prospects for gold, silver, copper, base metals, and rare earths across NSW, South Australia, and Queensland.
