Woomera Mining (ASX:WML) has completed recent exploration activities at its South Australian projects, Labyrinth in the Gawler Craton and Musgrave in the Musgrave Province.
At Labyrinth, Woomera has completed an auger drilling survey that has identified multiple, ‘high order’ gold and rare earths anomalies coincident with a possible “Labyrinth Shear Zone” repetition in the northeast of the Project area.
The company has also booked a VTEM MAX Survey for the Musgrave Project, located in the same geological province as the Nebo-Babel (390Mt @ 0.31% Ni, 0.34% Cu) and Wingellina (215.6Mt @ 0.91% Ni, 0.07% Co) projects.
The VTEM MAX survey at Musgrave is designed to complement work completed by Woomera as part of the 2019/2020 field programs. The company expects the high resolution imagery to highlight prospective lithologies, allowing it to target potential mineralisation.

Woomera Mining reports the survey will be conducted in the December 2022 quarter with results communicated to the market in due course.
The Labyrinth Project is located 300km north-northwest of Port Augusta, 60km east of the Tarcoola gold mine and 200km west of Coda Minerals’ Elizabeth Creek IOCG discovery.
The 94km-square tenement area is host to a sequence of Archean-early Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Granite and Gawler Range Volcanics along with high order auger drilling anomalies in gold and cerium (a possible indicator for rare earth mineralisation).
The Musgrave Project is located 900km north-northwest of Port Augusta and covers 1,600km-square including the prospective Giles Complex that hosts base metal mineralisation.
The presence of fertile host rocks has been confirmed in historical drilling, which returned results of up to 19m at 0.2% Ni from ultramafic rocks.
Woomera has received all multi-element assays from the auger drilling program conducted at the Labyrinth Project.
Work on the project has involved multiple geochecmical programs designed to vector in on drill targets.
With each program, targets have been refined based on geostatistical interrogations of data returned through the assays. Assay values in comparison to background or non-mineralised zones within the project area display “order of magnitude” anomalism.
Woomera Mining is a focussed mineral explorer. The company is exploring for battery metals (lithium nickel, copper + PGEs) and gold in the Yilgarn and Pilbara cratons of Western Australia plus the Musgrave Province in South Australia along with copper-gold mineralisation in the Gawler Craton of South Australia.
