SUMMARY
An auger program consisting of 16 holes was undertaken in the lower reaches of the Matepono
River to test the anomalies defined in the survey reported in Lum et al. (1994). A magnetometer
survey marked targets for augering in the field. Holes were augered to a maximum depth of 6 m
and samples obtained for gold analysis.
The magnetometer survey confirmed that the magnetite layers are represented by gentle and
smooth sigmoidal curve anomalies and gravel beds represented by tight and high erratic
sigmoidal curve anomalies when total magnetic intensity readings are plotted against distance for
the respective traverse lines.
The augering program confirmed the presence of magnetite layers and gravels beds in the
survey area. Magnetite layers are up to 25 cm in thickness and gravel beds consist mainly of
rounded basaltic and quartz gravel. Samples were collected at one-meter intervals and some
100 samples weighing approximately 1 tonne was collected for gold analysis.
The gold content of the samples were evaluated by hand panning followed by fire assay.
Placer gold occurs in the sediments of the area investigated to up to depths of 6 m. Gold with
values of up to 0.292ppm occur in the upper magnetic layer and in the lower gravels.
Microscopic examination of hand panned samples showed that the gold was fine grained .
The survey was technically successful in defining the presence of gold in the area. It was not
designed to identify minable deposits because of the method of sampling, and the limitations of
the gold analysis technique. If mining targets are required then bulk testing followed by pilot
testing of selective sites are essential.

INTRODUCTION
At the request of the Government of the Solomon Islands, a follow-up program of augering was
undertaken at the mouth of the Matepono River and its adjacent area. The earlier phase of the
reported is documented in Lum et al. (1994) who identified well defined, elongated, continuous
and narrow magnetic bodies parallel to the present shoreline. These magnetic bodies are
numerous and extend up to the end of the 1 km survey boundary, indicating the possibility of the
continuation of additional anomalies inland which were developed by both periodic storms and
normal tidal action. The report recommended sampling of the magnetic bodies by augering to
depths of 6m, pitting and trenching and analysing the samples for gold.
The augering program was conducted from 12 March to 1 April 1995 and consisted of 16 auger
holes. Each auger hole was logged and samples collected at one-metre internal. Detailed logs of
the holes are presented in Appendix 2.
The project was undertaken as part of the SOPAC Coastal Program for the Solomon Islands:
Project SI 1.1/95. Data collected during the survey is presented in Appendix 1 and original data
and disk are archived at SOPAC as Survey No. SI.95.01. This report should be read inconjuction
with SOPAC Technical Report 213 by Lum et al (1994) which contains descriptive details of
geology and history.
Work undertaken by SOPAC in this project is considered as a demonstrative study conducted to
promote the potential of gold to the private sector via government. SOPAC withdraws from the
project if the area shows no potential or if private sector shows interest.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the survey was to test the anomalies defined by the previous survey (Lum et al.
1994), for the potential of gold. Work undertaken at the mouth of the Matepono River and along
the Tetere Bay beach confirms the presence of alluvial gold but in uneconomical amounts.
Unless a greater volume of gold-bearing material or richer gold contents is discovered, the
Matepono River and its adjacent area will remain unprospective. To improve the prospectivity,
anomalies which extended inland were tested for the possibility of detrital gold by augering.

History
Table 1 documents the history of work undertaken in the area. A descriptive account can be
found in Lum et al (1991) and SOPAC Technical Report 213 by Lum et al (1994). It should be
noted that apart from the work undertaken by SOPAC there has been very little investigation
conducted in the area.

Geology
The geology and geomorphology taken largely from Hackman (1980) and Roy (1990) is
described in detail in SOPAC Technical Report 213 by Lum et al (1994). The following is
repeated for the comprehensiveness of this report. Hackman (1 980) describes the Guadalcanal
coastal plain as being "built up from progressive coalescing of main river deltas which are still
expanding, The rivers bifurcate and meander extensively in their own alluvium which ranges from
clay to coarse gravel; much of the area is poorly drained". Roy (1990) indicates that coastal
changes measured over the last 40 years show an average annual progradation for the
[TR222 - Lum & Others]
[9]
Guadalcanal coastal plain to be about 1 million m of sediment. The Guadacanal plain is 47 km
in length and up to 10 km in width and is underlain by more than 50 m of sediments (Lum 1994).
In another words the volume of material is not a variable of concern should economical gold be
discovered.
Access
Access to the area from Henderson Airport is by a 21-kilometre all-weather road to Tetere Bay
and I-kilometre walk or canoe trip (Figure 1). A canoe was requested for this part of the access
to ease the burden of hand-carrying equipment to and fro and also to lessen the effort of carrying
a total of approximately 3 tonnes of samples for a distance of a kilometre along the beach.
Survey
Site Area C was chosen along Tetere Bay as recommended by Lum et al. (1994). A
magnetometer survey was redone for Lines J1, J2, J3, J4 and J5 and relabelled as lines MRA1,
MRA2, MRA3, MRA4 and MRA5 (Figure 2). Traverse lines were repeated so as anomalous
targets could be marked with certainty. Following the identification of all anomalous targets in
each line, the total intensity data of each line was plotted against its respective distance and
auger holes targets selected. Figure 3 illustrates the sequence of events of the field activities.
Each auger site was checked for buried bombs as a caution by the Royal Solomon Police with a
bomb detector as the area was an active war zone during World War II (Figure 4). The area is
currently littered with rusty old US war tanks and relics.
Unlike the previous survey, only one magnetometer was engaged in the survey. No local base
station was setup for diurnal and micropulsation time variations as these were considered
unnecessary and was conducted by Lum et al. in 1994. However, magnetic cleanliness and
accurate senor positioning were observed throughout the survey. During the traverses, the
surveyors were free of all magnetic material, including zips in pants, clipboards, compasses and
[TR222 - Lum & Others]
.';1;;"""
metallic eyeglasses. Sensor orientation was held perpendicular to the earth's field of orientation
and care taken that it was carried by one surveyor throughout each line traverse. Three total
intensity readings were recorded at each station and an average calculated and used for graph
plotting.
Auger targets were identified by sudden changes in total intensity readings of 200 nT or more.
The location was then recorded and flagged by coloured tape.
Total intensity readings were manually recorded and later fed into a computer for data
processing in the evenings. Total intensity as a function of distance was plotted for each traverse
line. The selection and criteria of auger targets were made by the SOPAC Geologist, Mr Lum,
with the aid of the modelling exercise conducted during the earlier survey. Approximately 10
possible targets per traverse line were defined in the field but three targets were selected for
augering. Augering was conducted in the beach, swamp, bush and grassland environments,
deliberately to cover a wide range of environments.

Targets were then augered to depths of 6 m for each hole. Auger holes were logged and
sampled at 1-metre intervals. As augering was undertaken in a sandy strata environment,
casings and bailers were essential. Sample recovery was good, and at times there was 80 to 90
percent sample recovery. A team of 5 persons working hard and non-stop achieved an average
of two holes per day (Figures 5 and 6). Pitting was undertaken at two sites only (MRA 1-23 and
MRA 1 386) due to the poor recovery of samples by augering (Figure 7). Pitting and trenching
were considered unnecessary due to the anomalous material being located at depths greater
than 2 m.
Equipment
A Scintentex 767010 model portable proton precision magnetometer was used to record total
intensity of the magnetic field. As mentioned, only one magnetometer was used which is
sufficient when the main mineral responsible for the magnetic anomalies in the area is magnetite.
Magnetite acts as an amplifier of the main field having no influence on orientation. The
magnetometer has a sensitivity of 1 nT. A computer with Microsoft Excel program was used to
record and process the data to assist in further selecting the target sites for augering.

An aluminium sand auger with 6 m casings and accessories was the augering tool used for the
survey. A tripod with a chain block pulley was taken but it was found to be unnecessary, heavy
and cumbersome.
Other essential equipment included hand held compasses, bright coloured flagging tapes, bush
knives and spades. Coloured aerial photographs at a scale of 1:3000 were obtained from
SOPAC. These photographs were flown by SOPAC in 1992 for a coastal survey undertaken in
the same year (Gillie 1992).
Training
Training of 4 staff of the Solomon islands Water and Mineral Resources Division was carried out
during the survey. David Michael, a Geologist with the Ministry of Energy, Water and Mineral
Resources Solomon Islands and an author of this report visited the Secretariat to assist with the
analysis of the data and the writing of the final report.
RESULTS
Field
Magnetic anomalies in the survey reconfirmed results of the previous survey of Lum et al (1994).
Anomalies were of two types - indicated by gentle smooth sigmoidal curves and erratic higher
and tighter sigmoidal curves when total intensity is plotted against distance, (see Figures 8, 9,
10, 11 and 12). Augering confirmed that gentle sigmoidal curves indicate magnetite beds and
erratic sigmoidal curves indicate gravel beds.
Line MRA1
Eleven anomalies were identified in the field that warranted further investigation. These are
illustrated by the sigmoidal curves in Figure 8. Three targets were defined, the first being on the
beach (MRA1-26), the second in the bush (MRA1-390) and the third in grassland (MRA1-446).
There was difficulty in augering through the gravels in hole MRA1-26 and a 2m pit was dug
instead. A log of the pit is presented in Appendix 2.
[TR222 - Lum & Others]
Line MRA3
Six anomalies were identified in the field that warranted further investigation but three targets
were selected, the first being on the edge of the beach and beginning of grassland (MRA3-42),
the second and third in the grassland (MRA3-348) and (MRA3-585) (Figure 10).

and swamp (MRA4-90) and the third in the bush (MRA4-235) and the fourth in grassland (MRA4-
307) (Figure 11). Due to buried logs in the area, there were fifteen attempts to auger MRA4-24 to
a depth of 6 m. MRA4-90 was augered in a non-anomaly area to test whether magnetite or
gravels would be intersected. The hole did not intersect any magnetite horizons but intersected a
very thin bed of gravel.

Analytical
The sparsity of gold particles and nugget effect in sediment samples are major concerns in
obtaining gold analysis representative of any given sample. The sparsity of gold as determined
by the analysis of a split, depends not so much on the gold content of the sample as on whether
or not a random flake occurs in the analysed portion. Clifton et al (1967) showed that the error
could be as high as 80 percent and if gold was detected, the nugget effect would provide a
misleading high gold reading. This however could be largely eliminated by carefully concentrating
the samples prior to analysis. Hand panning is usually the cheapest method of concentrating the
samples but if very fine or flour gold exists then other methods of concentrating the samples, for
example the use of heavy liquid methylene iodide (SG =3.3), need to be taken into consideration.
Another problem associated with the analysis of gold is the amount of organic carbon contained
in the samples. This can be overcome by removing the carbon either through heating samples to
temperatures of 120°C prior to analysing for gold, or by using the fire assay technique for gold
analysis.
With the above in mind, a two staged approach was used to evaluate the samples (Figure 13).
Bulk leaching by cyanide (BCL) was considered but later dropped because of the high costs
(A$25.00 per sample). Previous results (Collins 1993) state that flour gold existed at Tetere
Beach. Gold grains averaged 0.16mm and the largest documented was 0.54mm in diameter.
With the unavailability of liquid methylene iodide, the samples were rolled and riffled and split to
1.5 kg after drying at 120°C for 12 hours. One split was sent in for fire assay, one hand-panned
and the remaining samples packed and kept in the archives.
Hand panning using a gold pan is an efficient and very cost effective method for evaluating gold.
Panning can, however present some difficulties with error being inherently high if the panner is
not experienced as gold can be lost if panning is not done vigorously and expertly. Also as
mentioned, if flour gold exists it can be lost through panning despite the addition of detergent and
panning being conducted by an experienced person. As an analytical tool gold panning is best
undertaken in comfortable surroundings preferably in a still, clean pool or in a large tub. The
panning of Matepono samples was conducted at the SOPAC Secretariat by an experienced
technician (Figure14).
Panning concentrate samples provide an immediate visual identification of the presence of gold
and can also provide a rough estimate of grade. With experience, one can get an accuracy of
[TR222 - Lum & Others]
[20]
25% compared to fire assay analysis. A single flake of gold 0.01-0.02mm thick and 0.06-0.09mm
in diameter, a size most frequently found in beach and terrace sands, in a gram of sand
constitutes approximately 1 ppm (Cliffton et al. 1967). A single sphere of gold, of diameter about
0.1 mm and weight about 10 mg will provide an assay of about 0.002ppm gold in a 4 kg sample
(Anon 1994).

the Secretariat. Eleven of 110 samples returned gold values above the detection limit of
0.005 ppm. Only one sample MRA3-348, depth of 0-1 m, contained gold of 0.292ppm which can
be considered as economical. Gold results are reported in parts per million by weight (ppm) -
equivalent to or one gram per tonne. They are not reported in the usual form of milligrams per
cubic metre because of the aim of the survey was only to define the presence or absence of
gold. Commercial laboratories often provide gold results in ppm of gft. Conversation results to
gfm3 can be calculated by the following steps.

All samples were panned and any gold observed during panning was recorded. These samples
together with those that returned values of >0.005 ppm by Analabs were then counted and
examined under a binocular microscope (Table 3). Binocular examination showed that the gold
grains were fine grained, highly crystalline gold with various shapes (globular, flake, wire and
leaf) the majority of which being globular and subjected to little abrasion. Several of the gold
grains still had quartz inclusions contained in them (MRA2-370, 0-1 m and 3-4 m). Gold was
located basically at two horizons, the upper 0-1m interval which contained magnetite, organic
and fine to medium grained sand and the intervals which contained gravel. Sample MRA3-348,
depth 0-1m contained more than 30 irregular grains of gold <0.01 mm in diameter confirming the
high value of 0.292 ppm recorded in the fire assay analysis. Given the high count of gold grains
in the sample, the high value appears to be a true value indication of the sample and is not due
to the nugget effect. Rounded and oxidised pyrite was always associated with gold. Gold grains
were usually globular indicating a short history of transport, most likely to be rapidly transported
down stream during periods of flood and subsequently dumped on the beach.
DISCUSSION
Field
Magnetite beds intersected in the auger holes are generally shallow (< 2 m from surface) and
vary in thickness from a few cm to 25 cm. Magnetite beds are similar to the ones present on the
beach described by Lum et. al. in 1994, they occur as bands with magnetite concentration of up
to 100 percent magnetite. Gravel beds vary in thickness (25 cm to >3 m) and are composed
Assuming that the measured volume of the original sample is 1.2 times the in-situ volume

mainly of sub-rounded to rounded volcanic and quartz gravel (Appendix 2). The volcanic gravels
are mainly basaltic and andestic in composition.
Shallow gravel beds « 3 m from the surface) are also reflected as a vegetation anomaly in the
survey area. Grassland and sparse short vegetation are almost always located above gravel
beds. This is because of poor water retention in gravel beds. Anomalies in swamps and bushland
tend to have a thicker surface sediment layer and deeper gravel beds in comparison to the
grassland.

Magnetite beds (shallow or deep) show no obvious biological or chemical surface anomaly.
It is also worth noting that the bailer was used to extract sediments below the watertable,
although it was highly successful in obtaining sediments at depths up to 6m, the chances of
collecting large gold grains were low.
The nature of gold in the samples was fine grained, and although fine grained gold was expected
(Collins 1993), it is still uncertain whether the sampling technique i.e. the use of the bailer below
the water table, was responsible for this. Nevertheless it was successful in collecting fine-grained
gold in sediments below the water table.

Gold Analysis (Fire assay and hand panning)
Apart from the single high value of 0.292 ppm which correlates with the high gold grain count of
>30, there appears to be little correlation between fire assay and hand panning. Eleven of 110
gave gold reading above 0.005ppm for the fire assay technique whilst 22 of 110 showed visible
gold under microscopic examination. Upon examination of the 11 samples which contained gold
by fire assay, 7 confirmed the presence of free gold and the remaining 4 contained no gold.
Sample MRA2-290, 3-4m recorded <0.005ppm gold by fire assay while panning showed the
sample to contain 20 gold grains. Both techniques of gold analysis appears to have problems
which need to be considered in any field survey. The fire assay technique has the gold sparsity
and nugget effect while hand panning losses flour gold. However if done in conjunction gives a
better indication of the evaluation of the survey.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The magnetometer survey was not only successful in defining magnetite beds but also gravel
beds. Gravel beds show a similar but more predominant magnetic signature compared to
shallow magnetic beds.
2. Gravel beds occur a few meters below the upper magnetite beds and vary in thickness from
0.5m to >3m.
3. Placer gold occurs in the sediments of the area investigated to up to depths of 6m (only 6m
tested). Fine grained gold with values of up to 0.292ppm occur in the upper magnetic layer
and in the lower gravels.
4. The survey was technically successful in defining the presence of gold in the area. It was not
designed to identify minable deposits because of the method of sampling, and the limitations
of the gold analysis techniques utilised. If mining targets are required then bulk testing
followed by pilot testing of selective sites are essential.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Because of the sampling and analytical problems associated with alluvial gold evaluation,
large bulk testing of sites MRA3-585, MRA4-90, MRA5-467 and MRA3-349 should be
considered. One cubic meter samples of the upper 0-1m of magnetic beds and the lower
gravel beds should be collected by pitting. Samples then sieved through coarse mesh wires
and subsequently carefully reduced to their heavy mineral fraction. The mineral concentrate
should then be sent in for gold analysis (fire assay and bulk cyanide leaching) and
microscopic examination , If small concentrators are available eg. Keene super high banker
Combos, these should be used.
2. With the presence of gold in the surficial sediments, an obvious target where gold could be
concentrated will be in buried channels. A ground seismic survey could identify these buried
channels.
