Annual report on EL 228

Abstract

This report outlines the exploration activities conducted by Geopeko Limited on the Exploration Licence for the twelve month period from the 22nd May, 1974 to the 21st May, 1975 and is the third statutory Annual Report to be presented. Prior to the area being held as an Authority to Prospect by Australian Ores and Minerals Limited, an area which embraces the Exploration Licence was covered by an aeromagnetic survey by the Bureau of Mineral Resources. An additional low level aeromagnetic survey was conducted over the area by Geophysical Resources Development for Australian Ores and Minerals Limited in 1970-71 while the area was held as an Authority to Prospect. The tenure was subsequently converted to an Exploration Licence. During the twelve month period, ending 21st May, 1975, two aeromagnetic anomalies detected in the 19 70-71 low level aeromagnetic survey were located on the ground and covered with reconnaissance magnetics using the vehicle magnetometer- navigator. These were named the Rover 9 and Rover 15 Prospects. The Rover 14 Prospect Grid was extended to the west to cover an aeromagnetic anomaly not previously located. This was named the Rover 16 Prospect. Reconnaissance ground magnetic traverses were conducted over the grid. Grid extensions were surveyed in on the Rover 5 and 7 Prospects and ground magnetics carried out over the extensions. Diamond Drilling continued on the mainbody at Rover 1 Prospect, two wedge run off s from DDE 2 were completed. A further two holes were collared, one was completed, one was abandoned. An analysis of the results of the Rover 14 ground magnetics survey, utilising computer model studies was undertaken and a diamond drilling target was determined. Three diamond drill holes were collared on the prospect, two were completed and one was abandoned. Leases on the Rover 7, Rover 8, Rover 9 & Rover 15 Prospects were surveyed in and applications submitted to the Mines Branch. AMGs and Lats and Longs are given fior the drillhole collars.
