Annual report EL 4183 Cox Peninsula NT, annual and relinquishment report.

Abstract

During the 1987/88 work programme BP6 pegmatite was investigated in detail including exploration trenching and sampling. Renewed interest was also taken in the BP2 and Roses pegmatite areas due to the limited amount of previous work on parts of BP2 prospect, in particular. Bynoe Joint Venture has some considerable success over the last few field seasons with exploration for alluvial concentrations of tin and tantalum on the Cox Peninsula and in MLN 16 in particular. Alluvial trenches were cut in several drainages encompassing EL 4183 and adjacent tenements during the 1987/88. These drainages were Ah Hoy, Mammoth and the northern part of Johnstones drainage, past the confluence of Johnstones and Hang Gong drainages. The sampling procedures for alluvial and pegmatite deposits have been described in previous reports. Similarly, the preconcentration and assaying techniques have also been described previously.
