| Geology of the WILUNA gold mine |
|
|
Previous production and known resources occur in two main fault structures, the East Lode and West Lode, to a depth of 1,000 metres below surface. It is estimated that only 50% of the known extent of these lodes has been tested by systematic exploration drilling, with much of this carried out at very broad drill spacing.
