Annual report ELs 6352, 6353, 6354, 6355 and 8436 Bulman, Mainoru Project 13-11-1995 to 12-11-1996

Abstract

273 geochemical, 259 BLEG and 2542 heavy mineral drainage and 14 heavy mineral loam and 7 rock chip samples were collected from EL's 6352 and 6354. 16 samples were positive for kimberlitic indicators. 4 anomalies were interpreted of which anomaly 1 was the most significant. 44 heavy mineral, 12 BLEG, 14-180 micro-m and 2 rock chip samples were collected. 11 of the heavy mineral samples returned chromites providing additional support for anomalies 1 and 2 in the north and central west of el6354. No significant geochemical values were obtained from the initial or follow up sampling. Stage 2 sampling concentrated on EL's 6353, 6355 and 8436. 185 heavy mineral samples, 166 geochemical, 142 BLEG and 13 rock chip samples were collected. Analysis of these samples is still pending. In addition two bulk samples were collected.
