Altjawarra Craton Diamond Project, final report for EL 22536

Abstract

In the tenement area, several aeromagnetic anomalies and subcircular photo-features were identified and drill tested, but no kimberlitic or related rocks were identified. RAB drilling only identified buried gravels at depth with out any diamond indicators or microdiamond. However, a single microdiamond was recovered from perched gravel. The tenement was also explored for base metal and manganese. Maximum values of Pb up to 1.43%, Zn 485 ppm, Cu 148 ppm, Ag 0.5% and Au 27 ppb were encountered. It is considered to be isolated occurrence. Manganese potential of the tenement proved to be disappointing.
