The exploration target for Murphy South (western extension), across the 10 traverses designed for the Stage VI drilling programme, is 500-800Mt magnetite gneiss.

The Stage VI drilling programme comprises 64 diamond drill holes for 26,884m. Cross-sections of traverses A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J are presented below. The geology intersected in all traverses is consistent with interpretations from inversion modelling of high resolution aeromagnetic surveys. A general thickening of the sequence occurs eastwards.
