Final Report EL 23184, EL 23190, EL 23191 and EL 23192 Harts Range Project from 28 February 2003 to 13 February 2004

Abstract

Tanami Gold NL (TGNL) identified the potential for Selwyn-style copper-gold mineralisation and Coronation Hill-style gold-PGM mineralisation in the Harts Range region of Central Australia leading to the acquisition of a significant tenement holding in the district. Exploration Licences 23184, 23190 - 23192 formed part of TENL's Harts Range Project. All four tenements were granted on 28 February 2003 to Tanami Exploration NL (TENL) and were surrendered on 13 February 2004. TENL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tanami Gold NL, a publicly listed company. This report describes exploration carried out on all four exploration licences from grant since their surrender. The Harts Range Project lies in Central Australia about 140 kilometres east northeast of Alice Springs (Figure 1). The surrendered Exploration Licences are located on geological sheet 1 : 250,000 Alice Springs SF53-14 and Ilogwa Creek SF53-15 and are mostly underlain by high grade metamorphic rocks of the Entia Gneiss Complex of the Strangways Metamorphic Complex, the Harts Range Orogenic Belt or the Florence Detachment Zone. Exploration on the relinquished ground consisted of a regional assessment including a regional geological interpretation. Hyperspectral mapping was trialled in the area of the Riddoch Amphibolite and Oonagalabi Tongue centred on EL 10078, overlapping the eastern half of EL 23184. No anomalies were outlined from the geological or the hyperspectral mapping.
