Landholding Figures
Approximate landholding includes granted tenements and exploration licence applications. Certain applications are subject to competitive assessment and regulatory approval, and there is no
assurance they will be granted. Total landholding may therefore change.

THE SYSTEMS THAT PRODUCED COPPER, REPEATEDLY
Two great magmatic pulses (1900-1700 & 500-400Ma) bracket the corridor, and copper is a repeat offender. Thirty-one dated Cu and Ni-Cu occurrences show these
systems generated metal more than once, in more than one style.

MANTLE-TAPPING STRUCTURE, IMAGED IN THE GRAVITY
T H E B I G Q U E S T I O N
What are the deepest structures controlling
Central Australia?
Deep, mantle-tapping structures persist through
every filtered depth slice across the AOI.
N – S A N D N N E G R A I N
Strong N–S and NNE-trending anomalies split the
western, better-known geology from the east, on a
Tennant Creek to Alice Springs trend.
H I D D E N E L S E W H E R E
These deep trends are effectively invisible in the
magnetics and mapped geology, so a magnetics-
led search would miss them.

The Vox MT section resolves resistors R1–

mantle-derived sulphides/ graphite.

Mantle-related mineralisation tracks the
MT conductive boundaries; other styles
do not. The architecture appears to track
a mantle-sourced system specifically.

THE DEPOSIT MODEL IS EVOLVING
Oonagalabi was historically viewed as a simple carbonate-hosted stratiform system. New drilling and geophysics maybe pointing to something bigger,
focused along the Aileron–Irindina province boundary.

BEYOND THE CARBONATES
New drilling and geophysics show mineralisation is not restricted to the carbonate units
and multiple styles of mineralisation exist.
FEEDER-STYLE CONDUCTORS
VTEM priority conductors may represent feeder structures, or point to a larger, more
complex mineralising system.
ADDED COMPLEXITY
Magnetite–Au–Bi mineralisation (OGRC002) suggests additional system complexity
beyond the original model.
FOCUSED ON THE BOUNDARY
Vertically extensive magnetic anomalies focus along the Aileron–Irindina boundary.
Oonagalabi now reads as part of a broader mineral system.

Litchfield has completed 20 drill holes across ~900m of the prospective formation,
consistently intersecting broad copper–zinc mineralisation that remains open along
strike and at depth.
The next phase will focus on refining the geological model and using targeted
geophysics to identify the higher-grade core of the Oonagalabi mineral system

NEW DATA, NEW DISCOVERIES
Induced polarisation expanded the
system
Mapped the Oonagalabi horizon more than 1 km across the Main Zone, with potential extensions
north and south toward VT1 and VT2.
Magnetics revealed the architecture Highlighted deep-seated structures and intrusive domains, revealing a more extensive and
structurally complex system than previously recognised.
VTEM unlocked blind mineralisation Identified previously unrecognised conductors and blind sulphide mineralisation on the Irindina
and Aileron, beyond the known horizon.
Drilling found new styles New semi-massive to massive sulphides have been identified within mafic units, highlighting
further mineralisation styles within the Oonagalabi system.
