personalThe known deposit at Browns Reef occupies a small part of the tenement. Most of the historical deeper drilling to date has been confined to a zone approximately 2.7km long in the central to southern part of
the tenement and is situated on the eastern flank of the interpreted 9km long syncline structure.
This current round of drilling is designed to extend the Evergreen Zone along strike to both the north and the south.
