Fourth annual report for exploration licence 8177 for the period 29-09-1996 to 28-09-1997 Barrow Creek District Northern Territory Millers Prospect

Abstract

52 vacuum holes (412m) were completed at Millers North. A maximum value of 11.2ppb Au was outlined - a re-examination of drill chips suggested that this was from weakly Litchfield alluvium, which downgraded the result. Where bedrock identified material seem to be granite. 115 vacuum holes (467m) were completed at Ringing Rocks. Weakly anomalous Au-As-Cu (6.7ppb-40ppm-219ppm respectively) were obtained. 58 infill holes (192m) were completed. Results encouraging with anomalous geochemistry peaking at 54.5ppbAu, 337ppm Pb, 144ppm As and 460ppm Cu. Follow up RAB drilling completed. Assays to be submitted in the next annual. This prospect corresponds to a zone of complex magnetics.
