Dumartola Prospect has elevated Pb with supporting Ag, Au, Ce, Nd, La on Line 1. Line 2 has sporadic responses in Au, Ag and Pd, with more coherent patters shown by Nd, Ce and La. The responses shown by pathfinders may represent lithological variation or alteration
Jobtola Prospect
The survey carried out in December, 2004 reported elevated Au and supporting Ag, Pd responses at the western end of the line. The strong Au response with supporting coincident Ag, Pd and low order Pb suggest that this area requires follow-up. Jobtola Prospect has elevated Au, Ag and Pd with coincident Ce, Nd and Th. The anomaly is open to the west. The area was again sampled at 100 m interval along Eastwest lines (traverses) in May-June 2005. It shows anomalous Pb zones.
Karamtara Prospect
This prospect covers an area of artisan workings for Pb/Ag ± Cu. The survey clearly identified elevated Pb, Zn, Ag responses around the area of known mineralization. Ce, Nd and La appear to be reflecting lithology or possibly alteration near the known mineralization. There appears to be a similar response in these elements at the western edge of the line which is an area worthy of field checking. An ancient mine working > 1,000 years old is located near Karamtara in Mira’s RP. The mine workings appears to be a pit 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. Galena veins are striking into the working. Rock chip samples collected from Karamtara assayed 3.85% Pb and 38 g/t Ag by Actlab, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. About 5 Km south of this mine working, a mineralized zone containing 3.5% Pb, 25 g / tonne Ag, 0.10 to 0.50 g / tonne Au, has been observed near Kattapar. Pd (0.6 - 1.9 PPb), Pt (<0.5-1.2 PPb), Au (2 - 10 PPb). It is possible that the ancients were mining gold and lead for Silver. Furthermore there may be other old workings in the RP area in Chhattisgarh State. It is possible that the old workings near Karamtara, which appears to be a pit, may overlie a rich deposit.
