The Aldiss Area gold deposits lie within a north-trending ductile shear zone as Karonie Main and West Zones, Spice, Atreides and Tank. It consists of a series of sheared amphibolite facies, mafic rocks, with remnant veining and late stage faulting. A number of ‘late stage’ porphyries intrude the host rock.The Karonie resource extent consists of 1600m strike; 500m across strike; and 420m down dip and open at depth.The Tank Artreides resource extent consists of 1850m strike; 800m across strike; and 325m down dip and open at depth.The French Kiss Project lies on the eastern margin of the Eastern Goldfields Greenstone Province (EGGP) where Archaean volcano-sedimentary sequences are juxtaposed against granitoid-gneissic terranes. The province is characterised by an interconnecting series of north-north-westerly trending greenstone belts surrounded by ovoid to elongate granitoid batholiths.The geology of the French Kiss area consists of a sequence of NNW-trending amphibolites and associated metasediments. The rock has a strong metamorphic overprint, generally obliterating the pre-metamorphic textures. The lithologies hosting the French Kiss deposit are mid to upper amphibolite facies and a much higher metamorphic grade than the greenschist facies that is prominent elsewhere in the Eastern Goldfields.Gold mineralisation occurs almost exclusively within the quartz amphibolites and occurs dominantly as native gold. The habit of the native gold is as coarse interstitial grains, located along hornblende and quartz grain boundaries or included within the hornblende grains.The French Kiss complex’s resource extent consists of 840m strike; 800m across strike; and 300m down dip and open at depth.
