EL 9330 Cleary Creek, EL 9332 Loves Creek, EL 9335 Moonlight Bore, EL 9337 Salt Hole and EL 9340 Albarta Dam, Second and Final Report for the period ending 30 May 1998

Abstract

The first year exploration activities are described in CR97-431. During the second and final year the contact between the Heavitree Quartzite and the Bitter Springs Formation was evaluated for potential strata-bound copper mineralisation. 275 RAB holes were drilled along this contact with some results showing low order base metal anomalism, the better results were obtained from the Southern Basin where 19m@1240ppm Cu was recorded. This area was further evaluated by 5 RC holes, with only one hole (being adjacent to the anomalous RAB hole) being anomalous. I.e. 4m@ 1500ppm Cu. Stream sampling obtained Anomalous basemetal results from Kay Creek with associate high Mn results, it was concluded that the anomalism was due to Fe and Mn scavenging. Gravel stream sediment samples were taken regionally and in areas showing dipolar magnetic anomalies, some non-kimberlitic chromites were recovered.
