AB  - The Arrla Bay Project consists of four granted EL's (EL 22744, EL 22708, EL 24657 and EL 22707) that were applied for in 2000 by Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Limited (RTX). A further four applications EL 23972 Arrla Bay 5, EL 27156 Arrla Bay 5a, EL 27157 Arrla Bay 5b and EL24108 Arrla Bay 6 were granted in June 2009 leaving 2 applications within the grant process forming the remainder of the project. The tenements are located approximately 60km northeast of Oenpelli in north-west Arnhem Land and consequently are processed under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1975 (ALRA). The tenements were originally considered prospective for lateritic bauxite, however the drilling reported in the previous annual report has greatly downgraded the potential. The tenements still have uranium and manganese potential. Lateritised Cretaceous sediments of the Arafura Basin extend over most of the tenement area. Outcropping basement of Proterozoic granites and metamorphics also occur. No physical exploration was completed during the reporting period included, however a detailed literature review and data compilation were started and partially completed. At the time of reporting, the EM survey had been flown, and preliminary data had been received, however the final data had not been received from Geoscience Australia.
