Westminster Node
(MLC511, A25952, A26500, A26588)
Truscott’s Westminster project area is located west of the Tennant Creek Township in the centre of the Tennant Creek Goldfield and now encompasses an area of 5.96 km² (Figure 3). The project area covers an area that includes some of the earliest workings and discoveries in the field dating from the mid 1930’s.
Exploration activity is being concentrated over more than 1.5 kilometre strike length of mineralised ironstone outcrop and sub-crop containing these historical shallow high grade gold workings. The project site is extremely favourably located with all major service connections and the local airport located within 500 metres.
Maximum assays for intersections within the 1.5km mineralised strike length for one metre sample increments include:
Precious Metals– Gold (Au167g/t, 5.36 oz/t), Silver (Ag 685g/t, 22.02 oz/t)Specialty Metals– Molybdenum (Mo 6110g/t), Bismuth (Bi 2830g/t)Base Metals– Copper (1.5m@5.4% Cu), Lead (13.7% Pb), Zinc (5.3% Zn)

Westminster Ore Shoots
To date six lodes have been interpreted, with Lode 4 intersections indicating the potential of the Westminster project. Drill results as indicated below have demonstrated the continuity of mineralisation for the upper and lower ore shoots of Lode 4. (Figure 4).
Key intersections in the lower shoot include:
09WMRC031 2m @ 26.28g/t Au from 46m
2m @ 4.04g/t Au from 56m
WMDDH1 (database) 1.83m @ 11.32g/t Au from 136m
Key intersections in the upper shoot include:
09WMRC036 3m @ 1.78g/t Au from 15m
3m @ 1.46g/t Au from 33m
NMDDH1 (database) 7.0m @ 40.4g/t Au from 71m
09WMRC041 5m @ 23.53g/t Au from 83m
1m @ 13.05g/t Au from 105m
These intersections for the upper and lower shoots are close to the axis and on the predicted bearing of the shoot axis. The intersections indicate continuity of high grade gold mineralisation for a vertical distance of at least 90m and a down plunge distance of 120m.
