Summary:

Mineralisation at Frog’s Leg is hosted within a number of steeply dipping NNW-SSE structures that are vertical or dipping steeply (~80 degrees) to the west. Surface and underground drilling intersect the mineralisation at an angle to minimise bias.

The Frog’s Leg deposit is located in the southern portion of the Kundana mining area, within the Achaean Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The Kundana gold deposits are structurally related to the Zuleika Shear Zone, a regional NNW-trending shear zone that juxtaposes the Ora Banda domain to the east and the Coolgardie domain to the west. The Frog’s Leg deposit is located on the sheared contact between the porphyritic “cat rock” (regionally known as the Victorious Basalt) and volcaniclastic rocks of Black Flag Beds.

The ore lodes are between 2m and 20m thick and occur as sub-parallel lodes.
