Abstract: This report is the partial relinquishment report for EL 23885, Rawlins, and as such describes all exploration activity on the relinquished part of the licence from the 10th of October 2006 to the 9th of October 2008. The tenement is part of an area covered by the Lander River Joint Venture (LRJV) between Newmont Tanami Pty Ltd (Newmont) who are managers of the Joint Venture and Yuendumu Mining Company NL (YMC). The tenement is located approximately 350km NNW of Alice Springs and is being explored for economic gold mineralisation. The first two years of exploration comprised largely reconnaissance work such as wide spaced RAB holes along access tracks, regolith mapping, surface sampling, gravity and aerial magnetic surveys. The focus of this work has been the TAN16 Target in the northwest identified during the Tanami Regional Framework study. More detailed exploration was conducted around Waldrons Hill following up on historical rock chip results and old diggings. The tenement was included in Newmont's Tanami Regional Framework study which highlighted the prospectivity of the area. A detailed helicopter borne gravity survey was conducted in late 2006 and a 100m line spacing airmag survey was completed over portions of the area in July 2007. Extensive reconnaissance surface sampling has been conducted over much of the tenement. There has been reconnaissance RAB drilling in May 2007 and prospect scale RAB drilling in May 2007 and October 2008. The new geophysics field data has been used in a new geological interpretation of the area and remote sensing data has been used for regolith mapping.
