Second relinquishment report on EL 2368 Tanami Downs

Abstract

Exploration work consisted of limited geological reconnaissance, and the drilling of two vertical percussion drill holes and two vertical diamond drill holes in order to test a large non-outcropping magnetic anomaly. Geochemical assays, petrological examination and magnetic susceptibility measurements were completed on drill samples. Results have indicated that at least a major part of the magnetic complex is a sequence of magnetite bearing schistose metasediments of probable Mt Charles Bed affinities, which is overlain by non-prospective Cambrian basalt, and unmetamorphosed sediments. No potentially mineralised units were encountered.
