The Norseman Prospect is an exploration target that was generated by CSA Global in 2009, for Norseman Gold PLC. The prospect was identified from magnetic imagery interpretation and a calcrete sample program. The underlying rocks are interpreted as an area of “re-worked Archean”.
An initial exploration program of air-core drilling (see Figure 1 below) was designed by CSA Global for Norseman Gold PLC, and in its annual report to the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum for the 12 month period to 31 October 2010 (available below), Norseman Gold reported that road and access lines had been cleared in preparation for drilling. The tracks and drill lines were indeed established, and in June 2021 were confirmed as still navigable by Dundas Minerals.
Drilling did not proceed however – presumably due to working capital issues that Norseman Gold was experiencing at the time, and not long after Norseman Gold PLC entered voluntary administration. Consequently, Norseman Gold relinquished all of its Southern Albany-Fraser Orogen tenements on 29 September 2011.
There are no public domain reports that show Norseman Gold as having conducted any on-ground exploration activities on its tenements, however a calcrete sampling program at the Norseman is mentioned has having been conducted.
