Cadia - Ridgeway drill core  -  During lunch two presentations were given to the Newcrest Mining geological staff by tour group members on copper-gold systems elsewhere in the world with which they were familiar.   Subsequently the group was shown a further comprehensive selection of drill core through the different parts of the Cadia East and Ridgeway orebodies in particular, as well as other deposits in the mineralised corridor.   The Ridgeway core display was in lieu of an underground visit to the sub-level caving operation in which all underground openings are shotcreted.
