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 30 August 2007. The licence was transferred to WDR Base Metals Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Desert Resources Ltd, on 17 June 2008. The Exploration Licence is included in the 'Bushy Park' joint venture with NuPower Resources Ltd. The tenement was reduced from 333 blocks to 217 blocks on the second anniversary of tenure. 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, bore water sampling, and aircore drilling. Stream sediment sampling, airborne EM and regional gravity surveys were completed in the second year of tenure. The relinquished area was included in the stream sediment sampling, bore water sampling and gravity survey.
