22 Impact Minerals Ltd Annual Report 2022 Figure 5.2: Image of regional magnetic data over the Doonia project with warmer colours indicating more magnetic units. A large oval deepseated anomaly is centred directly under the project area above which a cluster of near surface anomalies is present and interpreted as possible magnetic intrusions. These smaller anomalies are coincident with a gold-bismuth soil geochemistry anomaly (ASX Release 17th November 2020). Review of Operations continued Logistical issues and poor ground conditions significantly impaired the drill programme and only six holes out of a planned 12 holes were completed. The results of the drill programme were being interpreted at year end. One drill hole intersected a pocket of abiogenic gas of unknown thickness and composition at about 100 metres down hole. Abiogenic gas is a common but not widely known phenomenon close to and within many gold and nickel mines as well as along major faults in the Goldfields of Western Australia. Impact is currently undertaking an assessment of the composition of the gas with respect to potential safety issues as well as the possible areal extent of the pocket and its significance.
