First annual report for EL 7109 Mount Davidson and EL 9787 Mount Davidson North, for year ending 28 March 2000

Abstract

The report detail exploration activities during the reporting period, including field mapping, detailed low-level aeromagnetic survey and lag surface geochemical sampling. Programs of vacuum, aircore and RAB drilling were undertaken over the selected targets, mainly on EL 7109. Limited vacuum drilling was undertaken on the southern margin of EL 9787. Regional lag sampling of quartz veins and ferruginous saprolite returned weakly anomalous gold and arsenic values in the southwest part of EL 7109. Vacuum and RAB drilling tested several selected structural and stratigraphic targets identified from the magnetic survey data. Clusters of low-level gold and arsenic anomalism were returned from Tanami Complex stratigraphies across the central and western portions of EL 7109.
