First annual report for EL 24733 Mount Mascotte, year ending 18 July 2007

Abstract

The area was applied for to test the potential for all minerals. One specific target was a reputed 3% Sn occurrence near Mount Mascotte. Work carried out consisted of a review of historic data and reports. A field reconnaissance and sampling trip was carried out in May 2007. Based on this reconnaissance, it has been decided that the first part of the next years work will be to do aerial reconnaissance using a helicopter, which will include sampling. The area is a mixture of open country and very hilly country, the hilly country being difficult to access by vehicle. The hilly country is where Imperial wishes to take a lot of samples. All reconnaissance traverses by foot or vehicle included the continuous use of a Scintrex Scintillometer. 8 samples were taken in the more accessable areas, however the supposed Sn Prospect in the vicinity near Mount Mascotte was too difficult to access, and it proposed to find this location by helicopter in the following year. Sample results are not yet available.
