Annual report for EL 4193 Reynolds River year ending June 1984

Abstract

Exploration Licence 4193 is located 90 km SSW of Darwin on the Reynolds River 1:100,000 map. The tenement was granted to Goltan Exploration and Mining Limited on the 27th June 1983 and is now operated by Northern Gold NL. The tenement contains the plateau forming units of the Depot Creek Sandstone overlying the turbidite sediments of the Burrell Creek Formation. Further to the west the granites and meta-sediments of the Litchfield Complex occur. Tin bearing pegmatites emanate from these granites and include the Burrell Creek Formation units. The abandoned Mount Tolmer tin mine occurs in the tenement area.

Work during the year involved mapping and sampling and general reconnaissance. A number of pegmatites with a strike length of over 2 kms were identified and these will be the target for exploration in the 1984/85 period.
