Relinquishment Report for the Tanami Project, covering the period 25 March 1988 to 08 August 2002

Abstract

This report summarises exploration programs carried out on relinquished ELs 2369 and 2370. Both ELs were explored extensively by various geochemical geophysical and drilling methods. A number of anomalies such as Vivitar, Kelpie, East Ptilotus, Lennards Ridge, Titania and Isis prospects were extensivley tested for gold. The best results from EL 2369 were obtained from East Ptilotus where a mineralised zone of 35 m averaged at 1.5 g/t. Similarly, Isis prospect from EL 2370 showed a best intersection of gold mineralisation of 1.5 g/t over 3 m. All these results remained disappointing and hence both ELs were dropped subsequently.
