EL 7934 McDermotts Creek, NT, partial relinquishment report for period ending 02-12-1996

Abstract

4 -2mm gravel samples were collected. 3 returned chromites of non-kimberlitic origin. At each of these locations a -80# geochemical sample was collected. No anomalous values were recorded. A detailed airborne magnetic-radiometric survey was completed in 1994. 2 low amplitude, short wave length dipolar responses were selected for follow up. Follow up consisted of ground magnetics and a loam-soil sampling from each site. The loam samples both returned a microdiamond, with a chromite also being recovered from WO5. The soil geochemistry results were not significant. A DIGHEM survey in 1995 revealed no conductors in the area.
