Marda is hosted in the Archaean Marda-Diemals Greenstone Belt and comprises a series of discrete gold deposits within a highly deformed segment of the Marda BIF. Generally, the mineralisation trends WNW and occurs within boudinaged segments of the Marda BIF.The project consists of four nearby pits (Dolly Pot, Dugite, Python and Goldstream) within the Central Marda area and two outlying pits, Golden Orb and King Brown, located 13 and 20km away respectively.The deposits are characterised by quartz veining accompanied by silica, pyrite and sericite alteration. The structural context is dominated by isoclinal folds, low angle shears and late, high angle cross faults. Oxidation commonly extends to depths between 45m and 70m, reaching depths with weathering variable between the BIF and mafic country rock.Mineralisation is likely controlled by shear zones/fault zones passing through competent BIF rock units, hosted with mafic/ultramafic stratigraphy. Gold is associated with pyrite alteration in brecciated BIF, +/- quartz. Deep weathering has generated supergene enhancement of gold within the weathered zone.DimensionsLode and shear hosted styles. Strikes range from 140m (Dugite) to 450m (Golden Orb) and dip at 70-90°. Average lode width approximately 10m, mostly ranging between 2- 20m. Down-dip extents typically 50-75m.
