Title: Annual report for EL 25340 Illogwa Creek to 7 February 2008

Abstract: EL 25340 was acquired to investigate airborne radiometric uranium anomalies within the Palaeoproterozoic eastern Arunta Province. The work carried out on EL 25340 during the first 12 months included a review of geophysical data and a helicopter-assisted reconnaissance sampling program over airborne radiometric anomalies. Further work is warranted on the EL to follow-up radiometric anomalies under cover. The main zone of high radiometrics was traversed with an Exploranium GR135 spectrometer and 8 rock chip samples were taken for multi-element analysis at ALS Chemex laboratories in Alice Springs. The maximum uranium value assayed was 5.4 ppm in a sheared quartz-feldpspar-tourmaline vein. Traversing across the anomaly revealed thin colluvium and alluvium with abundant augen gneiss and amphibolite boulders and tourmaline lag in a matrix of red-brown soil. Protruding through the colluvium were sporadic outcrops of sheared coarse-grained granitic augen gneiss containing porphyroblasts of tourmaline, minor pegmatite and amphibolite.
