Partial relinquishment report for EL 9742 'Border Diamonds' for the period 16 June 2008 to 15 June 2009

Abstract

Mineral exploration on EL 9742 has focussed on some surficial gold anomalies and an ovoid feature seen in aerial and satellite photographs. The 10 graticular blocks relinquished at the end of the 8th year of tenure are outside the area covered by these works. The only work covering the relinquished area was a 50 m-spaced aeromagnetic survey conducted by Kevron Geophysics Pty. Ltd in the first year of tenure (2002). These aeromagnetic data were part of a collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and are already in the department's possession.
