Final technical report

Abstract

The Huckitta Project comprised 11 tenements for 12,241 square km and is situated between 200 and 300 km east of Alice Springs. First application for tenure was made on 13/04/2000 (EL22515-517). This final technical report documents all work completed by BHP Billiton on the Project. The project was a joint venture between BHP Billiton and Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania Pty Ltd, with BHP Billiton managing the exploration work. Work on the project included field reconnaissance, a FALCONTM airborne gravity survey, ground gravity follow-up of targets generated by the airborne survey, and finally diamond drilling of six targets. Owing to the negative results gained the project was surrendered in January 2007.
