Title: | Final report on exploration activities for EL 22397 'Mount Eleanor', Hodgson Basin Region |
Title Holder / Company: | Gravity Diamonds Diamond Mines Australia Ashton Exploration Australia |
Report id: | CR2005-0459 |
Tenure: | EL22397 |
Year: | 2005 |
Abstract: | EL 22397 formed part of a farmin agreement between Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd ('Rio Tinto') and Diamond Mines Australia Pty Ltd ('DMA') covering numerous Rio Tinto-controlled tenements and applications in the Northern Territory. Under this agreement, DMA is conducting predominantly diamond exploration over the tenements utilising the Falcon(tm) airborne gravity gradiometer system to detect kimberlite pipes. Gravity Diamonds Ltd is managing the farmin arrangement for Diamond Mines Australia and owns 100% of DMA. During the first year of tenure, Rio Tinto conducted a review of historic exploration data, including considerable surface sampling focussed on diamonds, and recommended divestment of the tenement. The timing of the divestment arrangement with DMA during year two of tenure precluded the instigation of field exploration activities during 2003. Gravity handed back the licence to Rio Tinto in June 2005 and the licence was subsequently surrendered on 11 July 2005. |
