Analytical results of 20 bedrock samples and 20 trench sam- ples have been received from chemical laboratory. Bedrock sam- ples do not show any gold value. However, one trench sample from tuffaceous phyllite with quartz vein shows 100 ppb of Au. The mapped area is occupied by Iron Ore Group of rocks which consists of phyllite, tuffaceous phyllite, slaty phyllite, cherty quartzite, chlorite schist, quartz, quartzite, and chert. At places, the tuffaceous phyllite is intruded by numerous quartz veins along the foliation, which show boxwork and limonitisation at places.

The objective is to assess gold potenti- ality and to establish the geological and structural control of mineralisation in Babaikundi-Birgaon sector. The value of gold ranges from 0.07 ppm to 0.29 ppm in 3PTS samples and 0.07 ppm in 1 BRS sample in quartzite. Also, the IP results show one 200 m-wide & 1200 m-long anomalous zone of zone of IP values ranging from 10 mV/V to 25 m V/V indicating possible mineralisation.

Sporadic sulphide mineralisation of copper, lead and gold mineralisation are found along these shear zones. (Contd.)

A total of100 petrological samples were collected from surface and subsur- face core samples for the study of petrography including ore petrog- raphy. A total of 20 quartz vein sam- ples were collected from subsurface core samples for the study of fluid inclusion. Surface geophysical survey and borehole geophysical logging (both IP & SP) have been carried out in Sindauri East block. RM/REE Ranchi Maheshpur- in 1:12500 100.0 - - 157 G-4 stage investigation of rare metals Kamta- and REE in Chhotanagpur Gneissic Nawatoli-Jaratoli Complex has been carried out by large scale mapping. Bedrock samples, pet- rological samples, soil samples for heavy mineral studies have been collected. In the area, the pegmatites are coarse- grained with quartz, feldspar (both orthoclase and plagioclase) and musco- vite as major constituents and garnet and biotite as minor constituents. The analytical results of 60 bedrock samples received so far show concentration of Li: <5-86 ppm (17 ppm) Ga: 13-29 ppm (19 ppm), Nb: <5-31 ppm (20 ppm), Rb: 15-286 ppm (78 ppm), Sc: <5-10 ppm (22 ppm), Y: 05-198 ppm (31 ppm) and Zr: 8-559 ppm (162 ppm). The values in the brackets show crustal abundance of the elements. The total REE value of 13 bedrock samples re- ceived so far ranges from 69-1498 ppm. The mean value of total REE is 293.7 ppm which is higher than the mean to- tal REE concentration of the upper con- tinental crust (179 ppm; Taylor and McLennan, 1985). The total REE val- ues of 40 soil samples received so far range from 158 to 1428 ppm. Other results are still awaited. EPMA analysis of samples shows presence of REE-bear- ing phases such as allanite, monazite and xenotime. Other important mineral phases identified include sphene, apa- tite, zircon, magnetite, ilmenite, rutile, uraninite and thorite. (Contd.)
