First annual report on SEL 9214 Great Western, for year ending 21 December 1996

Abstract

Much of the title lacks outcrop. To aid with exploration a regional geological and aeromagnetic interpretation were completed to detail the distribution of the Tennant Creek Granite and Warramunga Formation. An area referred to as Warrego East was selected to test their model. Initial work consisted of the evaluation of four pits to test the soil and weathered profile. This test suggested that the surface sampling was inadequate and that drilling to test the lateritic horizons may be useful. 139 vacuum drill holes were completed. This drilling outlined silver anomalism associated with an E-W Shear. RAB testing of many magnetic targets produced no anomalous gold values. Elevated base metal values associated with doleritic intrusions.
