Episode notes
Large, Pre-Targeted IOCG Opportunities
- Newcrest (now Newmont) ran a country-scale targeting program and generated large IOCG targets that were never fully drilled.
- Inflection acquired these mature targets from Newmont with prior geophysics and some scout holes already completed.
Why IOCG Targets Stand Out Geophysically
- IOCG systems are long-life, tier-one deposits often rich in magnetite, copper and gold and can be identified by magnetic and gravity signatures.
- Newcrest used airborne magnetics, gravity and electrical surveys to highlight these large, magnetic alteration zones.
Prepare Agreements Then Test With Air Core
- Finalize landowner and Aboriginal community agreements before drilling to ensure access and continuity.
- Use cost-effective air core drilling in Q2 to test many covered basement targets at roughly $25 per metre.
