• 26km of continuous greenstone belt folded around the Copperfield
Granite
• Prospective shear zones and host rocks on either side:
• 13km Baldock Thrust
• 13km Ballard Fault
• Orogenic, shear hosted gold lodes observed throughout the 26km of
strike with minimal focused historical work
• High resolution drone magnetics survey completed July 2025 across
the entire 26km prospective strike – awaiting results
• Magnetic survey results will refine structural model to inform exploration
targeting
• Unlocking the structural control is KEY to finding another Baldock
