hunderstruck’s Chairman Brien Lundin, Technical Director Eric Roth and the team’s expert exploration geologist Huw Williams delve into the immense opportunity that lies within our vast Rama copper/gold district stretching across the interior of the main island of Fiji.
“Rama can be considered a geological analog to the 1.8 billion tonne* Namosi porphyry deposit next door. Geochemically they are identical, both have a copper core surrounded by zinc. Namosi’s higher grade copper anomalies are similar size to the copper anomalies at Rama.”
Huw Williams
“If you’re looking for a metal to be exploring for these days, copper would be it, it’s really dominating headlines and there’s not enough copper discoveries. If every one of them was developed today it won’t meet the demand curve.”
Brien Lundin
“Big companies are looking for big copper discoveries and if you’re going to look for that you want to look where there’s already been discoveries. A geological analog to a 1.8 billion tonne project in the same neighbourhood that’s already been discovered but under explored seems to be one of the more exciting targets out there.”
Brien Lundin
“There was very little access years ago so a lot of these zones just weren’t known and that’s huge because now you have better access. In the 70’s Anglo probably didn’t appreciate the scale of the mineralized system which at Rama alone is 3km by 3km.”
Eric Roth
“Every indication at Rama is that a mineralized porphyry copper/gold system is there but that it was just explored incorrectly.”
Huw Williams
“Anglo went to Namosi because they got very good results in a very easily accessible target quickly and over the years Namosi has developed through successive operators into a world class copper/gold deposit. We have the potential to fit a Namosi or more within just this one area of Thunderstruck’s land concession.”
