A 12 sq. km. permit area has been evaluated for potential gold mineralization in epithermal high sulphidation setting over a porphyry gold deposit by use of geophysical techniques including airborne magnetic & radiometric interpretation, High resolution ground magnetic survey, Self-Potential survey, 2D Electrical Imaging (Resistivity & IP) & 3D modelling of geophysical data.

While radiometric data interpretation led to defining the K-rick areas, airborne magnetic rendered it possible to interpret geological structures & lithological domains including granite, granodiorite, diorite & andesite. High Resolution Ground Magnetic data covering the area in 122 LKM assisted in refining the structures & boundary of lithological domain, that led the focus on a porphyry gold system. Self-Potential survey with cumulative of 52 LKM defined broad zones of sulphide mineralization in 03 pockets that led to planning of 2D Resistivity & IP survey for a cumulative 15 LKM across the zones of interest up to 250 m depth below surface level.

While the resistivity sections indicated structural fabric of the rock unit, IP signatures point towards a high chargeability mineralization zone that occur at a depth of about 100 m below ground surface, complimented with low resistivity values indicating metal presence. Structures features with possible epithermal vein system could also be deciphered in the investigation.

3D Modelling of the 2D Electrical (IP) sections evolved a large mineralization zone in one of the pockets that extend for about 1200 m with a width of about 800 m at a depth of 100 m below ground level. The recommended drill holes for verification yielded mineralization zone of about 80 m thickness with presence of economic grade silver from 100 m below ground level. Correlation of the bore holes with geophysical results reiterated the resource position & dimension interpreted based on geophysical results.
