Wilga
The Wilga Project is located 50km south of Laverton and approximately 8km east of Sunrise Dam. Regal holds 100 per cent of tenements covering the old Wilga gold mine where drilling has produced results up to 9m at 18.26g/t Au. The tenement has at least three geochemical anomalous targets, one of which corresponds to the main workings, with the other two having had limited attention. Most of the drilling underneath the old workings has been shallow and the depth potential has largely been untested.
Gold mineralisation is contained within a stockwork of quartz carbonate veins hosted by an altered and sheared gabbro. This gabbro has intruded into a basalt and BIF. In the shear zone, the gabbro has been altered into carbonate rich chlorite sericite schist and in the mineralised zones the alterations are intense with the development of clay minerals. The area has been fragmented by faulting and thrusting and during deformation the quartz carbonate veins have been distorted and the gold has remobilised into structurally favourable locations. The gold mineralisation at Wilga appears to be controlled by a later structure giving rise to flat-lying quartz carbonate veining in a near vertical (or steeply dipping to the southwest) shear zone which strikes west-northwest.
