Annual report on EL 7201 'Grundy Springs', 26 February 2000 to 25 February 2001

Abstract

This report details the exploration activities conducted during the last 6 years. Work involved search for diamond-bearing kimberlite intrusives utilising a range of exploration techniques including regional and follow up loam sampling, bulk drainage sampling for macro diamonds, geophysical surveys with subsequent ground-based investigation, and RC drilling. The origin of the abundant and widespread surface indicator mineral anomaly within the tenement remains enigmatic. All attempts to discover the source have been unsuccessful. Located chromate appears to be associated with a sand dune feature. The alluvial diamonds present in the eastern portion of the tenement appear likely derived from the basal Cretaceous gravel channel.
