Abstract

Work during the first year included review of the previous exploration, completion of the site clearance surveys, interpretation of existing magnetic and TM data, collection of 220 helicopter supported gravel and stream sediment samples and collection of 55 rock chip samples. Results obtained are encouraging given the wide spread nature of the initial sampling and follow up sampling programs and possibly airborne geophysical programs are recommended for the second year of tenure. The high numbers of chromites returned from samples on the western edge of the proterozoic sequences are considered to be derived from sediments within the Finniss River Group, though a local intrusive source could have contributed grains.
