Pre-grant reports for ERL 25981, Timber Creek Diamond Project

Abstract

The Timber Creek Project is located approximately 370 kilometres SSW of Darwin on the Auvergne 1:100,000 map sheet, over the five known Timber Creek Kimberlites sited approximately 10 kilometers south of the small township of Timber Creek. These diamondiferous kimberlites were discovered by De Beers during a sampling program over this area between 1991 and 1993. The Timber Creek project formerly consisted of Exploration Licence (EL10358) covering an area of 6.6 square kilometers over these five known kimberlites. The kimberlites are regarded as subeconomic at the moment. The EL is now being converted to ERL 25981. This report is a compilation of the previous annuals by the present operator and two published academic papers.
