First & Final report for the period 18-8-83-18-7-84 Limestone Creek Prospect, Tawallah Range.

Abstract

Copper mineralisation is associated with NW-trending faults in the area, with known mineralisation at Coppermine Creek, and Limestone Creek. Following successful mapping and sampling of a copper prospect in MCN 189, an airphoto survey was conducted over the immediate area. From airphotos, there was indication of further NW-trending faulted quartzite outcrops. Reconnaissance geological mapping, limited soil and rock chip sampling were carried out, but access within the EL is difficult, and limited to walking or motorcycle. The lack of interest by mining companies in the area, and falling metal prices contributed to the EL being relinquished.
