Abstract

The tenement is located about 120km northeast of Alice Springs in the southern part of the Northern Territory. EL 25658 was granted to Alistair Mackie on 30th August 2007. The licence was transferred to WDR Base Metals Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Desert Resources Ltd, on 17th June 2008. The Exploration Licence is included in the 'Bushy Park' joint venture with NuPower Resources Ltd. The project area is underlain by the Aileron Province of the Palaeoproterozoic Arunta Block. It is prospective for uranium, gold, rare earths and base metal deposits. Previous exploration in the area has included Aeromagnetic surveys, follow up ground magnetic surveys, reconnaissance geochemical programmes of surface sampling, and aircore drilling. Stream sediment sampling, airborne EM and regional gravity surveys have been completed in the current year. The proposed exploration programme for year 3 (2009/10) will include infill stream sediment sampling, reconnaissance geological mapping and a rotary mud drilling programme.
