Relinquishment report for EL 25691 Davenport Range, September 2009

Abstract

Prior to commencing field work in 2008 a review of all available public information on EL 25691 Davenport Range, was completed. Large areas of radiometric anomalism are evident in areas underlain by Proterozoic acid volcanics of the Newlands volcanics most prominently occurring within the core of the Elkedra Dome. A further area of anomalism occurs in the north east of the area and based on published mapping is also coincident with mapped Newlands volcanic however as this area was outside the area of the Dome ground investigations during 2008 were targeted in this area with the possibility of calcrete hosted uranium deposits. The radiometric anomalies were found also to be sourced from underlying felsic volcanics of the Newlands Volcanics and no further work was deemed justified. These are among areas to be relinquished as part of the required tenement reduction at the end of the second year of tenure.
