A new high grade zone of mineralisation at the Morley prospect will add value to KGL Resources wider Jevois project in the Northern Territory. The mineralisation at Morley – including 14m grading 2.01 per cent copper and 7.7g per tonne silver from 17m – is parallel to areas of known mineralisation at the Marshall and Reward prospects. The Morley trend is the latest discovery by KGL at Jevois, which also includes the Skies, Green Parrot, Marshall and Reward prospects. Recent reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling and geological mapping at East Reward confirmed mineralisation extended at depth. Results included 4m grading 3.09 per cent copper, 0.54 per cent zinc, 28.2g/t silver and 0.08g/t gold from 485m; and 6m grading 1.71 per cent…

A defunct salt mine in Romania has been transformed into a booming tourist attraction, with an underground theme park and history museum. The historic Salina Turda salt mines in northern-central Transylvania were mined from the seventeenth century, and provided an integral source of wealth for the country’s Roman occupiers. The mine’s transformation into a theme park incorporated three former mining shafts, including Terezia mine, which reaches 120m below ground; Anton which reaches 108m; and the Rudolf, which extends down 42m. Features include a 180-seat amphitheatre, a sports arena with mini soccer stadium, a Ferris wheel, billiard and ping pong facilities, a mini-golf course and a bowling alley. Visitors descend the cavernous mine shafts in glass elevators, and into the Tereza…
