Annual Report for the Period 26 November 2007 to 25 November 2008, Cameron Dows Project, EL 2609

Abstract

The Cameron Downs project is located approximately 6 km south of Batchelor. The licence area is situated in the Rum Jungle mineral field. It straddles the boundary between granites of the Late Archaean Rum Jungle Dome and (meta)sedimentary successions of the Palaeoproterozoic Pine Creek Orogen. Work for the reporting period involved: desktop study and reconnaissance exploration. Given the poor exposure within the licence area of the targeted contact zone between the Coomalie Dolostone and Whites Formatin the potential of this contact zone to host uranium mineralisation needs to be evaluated by applying exploration techniques tht are capable of testing the subsurface, either directly or indirectly. Recommended methodologies are: soil and stream sediment sampling; an alpha track survey designed to identify radon anomalies along the 2.7 km long contact zone of the Coomalie Dolostone and Whites Formation; widespaced scout drilling and downhole gamma logging.
