ASX Symbol - AGY
Argosy Receives Preliminary Results from an Airborne Geophysical Survey
in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada
·
A 323 line kilometre airborne geophysical survey has been completed over a portion of the Lac Panache and Fish Creek project areas
·
Preliminary results indicate the presence of a cluster of strong conductors sourced within the Nipissing Gabbro
·
22 electromagnetic conductors (anomalies) were discovered
Argosy Minerals Inc. (ASX: AGY) is pleased to announce that it has received preliminary data from an airborne geophysical survey flown in late July across portions of the Lac Panache and Fish Creek project areas in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada.
The combined electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic helicopter-borne survey (AeroTEM II) of approximately 323 line km was flown by Aeroquest Limited. The AeroTEM II system utilises a “bird” towed at 30m above ground level by a helicopter with the EM transmitter being a horizontal, circular, multiple turn loop about 5m in diameter. Areas flown by the AeroTEM II survey include the Sawmill Bay prospect area on the eastern side of the main Panache block of claims, the Little Panache claims, the Brazil Lake claim area and the Fish Creek area (Figures 1 and 2). The primary application of the AeroTEM II system is the detection of near-surface massive sulphides.
Argosy has contracted Southern Geoscience Consultants (“SGC”) of Perth, Western Australia, to act as its geophysics consultant for the processing and interpretation of survey results. While interpretation of the preliminary results is complete, modeling of the individual anomalies will be carried out once the final data, expected within a month, have been received.

News Release 06-06
Analysis by SGC of the preliminary AeroTEM II data has resulted in the identification of 15 EM conductors (anomalies) at Sawmill Bay, 1 conductor (anomaly) at Little Panache with a further 6 at Brazil Lake – Fish Creek.
Of particular interest to Argosy are a cluster of 6 EM conductors spread out along a 1.5 km area between Sawmill Bay Prospect and the southwest corner of the AeroTEM II survey area. All but one of the conductors are sourced within the Nipissing Gabbro. Two of the anomalies have strike lengths in excess of 200m with one of these still being open to the west. The remaining conductors are more discrete. All of the conductors have strong on time as well as off time responses indicating relatively high conductivity. The position and overall strength of these conductors are consistent with a massive sulphide source.
Quantitative modeling of the EM data will be carried out by SGC once the final data have been received. The scope for the follow-up exploration program will be determined at that time.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by George Katchan, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. George Katchan is a full-time employee of Argosy Minerals Inc. George Katchan has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. George Katchan consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
