EL 282, report on 1975 investigations

Abstract

During 1975 the mineralised breccias in the region south of the area investigated in detail the previous year, were covered by gridding, detailed mapping and radiometric and Turam electromagnetic surveys. Detailed channel sampling was carried out. Interfluves, not covered the previous year, were auger drilled and geochemically sampled. The auger traverses were also investigated by radon monitor. A brief search for gold was conducted in the northern section of the Exploration Licence where the metal had been detected earlier in panned samples but where there was no obvious source rock. No indications of uranium mineralisation were detected in the course of the year?s work. Investigation of mineralised breccias suggests that these are similar to the one at Ten Mile Creek which was assessed in detail last year. Gold/silver values are erratic, patchy and probably largely confined to the surface gossan.
