Annual report on EL 10416, for the period 13 June 2006 to 12 June 2007

Abstract

This report documents the initial exploration programme completed on Exploration Licence 10416 during the period 13 June 2006 to 12 June 2007. The tenement was applied for in September 1999 and due to legislation changes and other delays was only approved and cleared for exploration in June 2006. Work undertaken on EL10416 during the current reporting period was aimed at acquainting ourselves with the terrain, geology and logistics of the area. As this was our first attempt at exploration in the area for Amethyst, we had a steep learning curve to teach ourselves the methods necessary to find potential new areas, and then evaluate them by way of surface sampling and costeaning.
