Title: | Annual report on exploration activities year one of tenure 25 November 2005 to 24 November 2006 |
Title Holder / Company: | Gravity Diamonds |
Report id: | CR2006-0520 |
Tenure: | EL24634 |
Year: | 2006 |
Abstract: | EL 24634 forms part of a major diamond exploration enterprise in the Northern Territory initiated by Gravity Diamonds (then Gravity Capital) in 2003. The foundation of this enterprise has been a farmin agreement between Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd ('Rio Tinto') and Diamond Mines Australia Pty Ltd ('DMA', a 100%-owned subsidiary of Gravity Diamonds) covering numerous Rio Tinto-controlled tenements and applications in the Northern Territory. Under this agreement, DMA has conducted diamond exploration over the tenements utilising the recently-developed Falcon(tm) airborne gravity gradiometer system, which has been shown to be very effective in detecting kimberlite pipes. Gravity has also acquired a significant tenement holding in its own right in the NT. The initial Falcon(tm) programs in 2003 resulted in the discovery of a kimberlite pipe within the 'Abner Range' survey area, some 35 kilometres northeast of EL 24634, and this led Gravity to apply for a number of areas in proximity to the discovery. During year 1 of tenure the company acquired and assessed all open file data on the area and planned a field program for 2007 |
