Annual report for EL 23688 Kekwick Project, 17 June 2004 to 16 June 2005

Abstract

The Kekwick project (EL23688) is south- west of Lake Woods. It lies on Powell Creek Station owned by Consolidated Press Holdings Limited. No previous exploration is recorded from the area. During the initial phase of exploration of EL23688, work consisted of: literature research of previous exploration, geological survey and geophysical survey over the EL and surrounding district; data compilation; acquisition and interpretation of departmental geological and airborne geophysical data sets; planning for field program; planning, budgeting, and reporting. Visits to other stakeholders in the area for introduction purposes were completed, and the Sacred Sites register was searched. In the second term of the licence, a field inspection of the area was undertaken. This showed that ground reconnaissance was out of the question without substantial earthmoving activity. There were no sites suitable for surface heavy mineral sample collection. Plans for the next term of the licence include shallow auger drilling across the main drainage channel draining the area.
