During the interim period from 20th August 2004 to 31st December 2005 prior to the commencement of the Tanami Exploration Agreement (TEA) an extensive infill surface sampling program was carried out covering the central west region on a one kilometre and 250m triangular grid. Several rockchips and lag samples were taken. During April 2005 A RAB/Aircore drilling program was conducted with the aim of testing the Pharoah and Kephri anomalies generated by the BLEG T sampling program conducted in late 2004. A petrological analysis of 22 samples was undertaken.
