Annual report for year ending 06/1984 Howley Area.

Abstract

Exploration Licences 4207, 4208 and 4235 occur approximately 140 kilometres south of Darwin and are three of the twenty two operated by Northern Gold NL in the Howley area. The licences are prospective for gold nineralization associated with hardrock and alluvials shedding from the Howley and John Bull Lines. EL 4235 is also prospective for tin associated with pegmatites emanating from the Mount Shoobridge Granite. EL4207 occurs between the Howley and John Bull Lines, while EL 4208 covers part of the western limb of the Howley anticline.EL 4235 occurs to the west of the anticline and straddles part of an anticlinal axis paralleling the Howley Line. During the year Northern Gold NL conducted an RRMIP survey over part of EL 4208 and a sigiificant anomaly was defined along the eastern boundary. Only general prospecting was carried out over the other tenements. The future programme involves geological mapping, costeaning, and sampling with bulk testing of alluvials. The alluvial testing programme is underway at the time of writing this report.
