EL 8425, 1998 final report, 24-12-1993 to 29-05-1998

Abstract

This report summarises all the work completed on the licence since 1993. Northern Territory Gold Mines completed a work programme consisting of a literature review of available geological and exploration data and purchased digital aerial geophysical data. Northern Gold completed a work programme based on digital data studies and a regional soil sampling programme during the 1995/96 year of tenure. Landsat Imagery, SPOT Imagery and AGSO mapping were obtained and used in conjuction with aerial mapping to determine the best method of gold exploration to be used in the licence. GIS and satelite imagery were used to log soil types and to interpret the structural geology of the region. A regional soil sampling programme was completed over the eastern block of the licence which gave disappointing results. This was folowed by a stream sediment sampling programme and digital terrain modelling in the 1996/97 field season. Results were disappointing and failed to highlight any areas of anomalism. No work was completed during the 1997/98 field season.
