The Marda ore deposits are wholly owned by Marda Operations Ltd, a subsidiary of Ramelius Resources Ltd.
The Tampia deposit is owned 100% by Ramelius Resources Ltd.
The Edna May production centre includes the Edna May underground mine and open pit the Tampia, Marda and Symes Gold Mines.Edna May Hosted by the Edna May Gneiss, a metamorphosed granitoid with strike length of 1km, width of 140m and depth extent of 700m and bounded by a maficultramafic stratigraphy. Mineralisation relates to widespread quartz veining, which occurs as thin sheeted foliation parallel or larger cross-cutting reef veins with a polymetallic sulphide assemblage. Mineralisation forms a broad low-grade stockwork throughout the gneiss. DimensionsEdna May gneiss unit is a lenticular body, typically 50-150m thick, 1000m long and defined down-dip to 700m. It strikes east-west and dips N at 50-60°. Internal high-grade quartz reefs occur and strike N-NE and dip 45-50 W. These are generally 100m in length and 2-4m wide.TampiaTampia is hosted within Archaean mafic-felsic granulite facies units. Gold mineralisation is hosted within a mafic gneiss unit dominated by pyroxeneplagioclase - amphibole minerals. Late granitic sills intrude the mafic gneiss. Gold mineralisation occurs as shallow dipping (20°-30°), 2-20m thick lode zones subparallel to the granitic sills. Gold mineralisation of associated with disseminated pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and rare pyrite.DimensionsThe deposit has a strike of 1000m, down-dip width of around 400m and depth extent of around 150m. The mafic gneiss, granite sills and mineralised lodes have a shallow SE dipping, gently folded orientation forming a ‘bowl’ shaped geometry.MardaMineralisation 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.Symes Shallow dipping gold lodes are hosted within mafic gneiss units, often occurring between intruding pegmatite sill units. Significant mineralisation occurs in shallow flat supergene or in surface laterites.DimensionsThe main shallow lode zone has a strike of 120m to NE and dips around 25° to the SE with a thickness of 4- 12m. Flat lying supergene zones are around 20-40m wide and 40-100m long. Laterite ore is extensive i.e. 500m x up to 200m, except where previously mined.
