Annual Report EL 1092 Goodparla for 1981, Pine Creek Basin.

Abstract

Drilling in the oxide zone of mineralisation at the Namoona prospect failed to intersect economic minerajisation. Infill drilling proved the mineralisation to be poddy. Title to Goodparla EL 1092 was granted to CRA Exploration Pty Limited on the 22 December 1976 by the N.T. Administration. Location of EL 1092 is shown on Plan NTd 1543. Exploration carried out by CRAE within Goodparla EL during the first year of tenure has been described by Wills, 1978 (CRAE Report No.9158) during the second year of tenure; by Ikstrums 1979, (CRAE Report No.9526) during the third year 1 of tenure; by Ikstrusas and Steemson 1980, (CRAE Report No.9985) and during the fourth year of tenure by Ikstruxns 1981 (CRAE Report No.10509). Exploration in the latter half of 1981 is described in this report. The 1981 drilling of the Namoona prospect, in the oxide zone, failed to intersect an economic tonnage of secondarily enriched silver ore. Previous drilling in the non oxidised zone also failed to intersect viable tonnages of adequate grade mineralisation. A rapid reconnaissance magnetic induced polarisation survey was carried out over the Namoona mineralisation during September 1981. The contractors comments are included in the hardcopy of the company report along with the contractors plans NTd 1769 and NTd 1770. This survey failed to delineate any further mineralisation.
