Final annual report for EL 25426 Turner's Dome Project representing the period 19 March 2007 to 7 February 2011

Abstract

EL 25426 was granted to Cabe Resources Pty Ltd (Cabe) on 19 March 2007. The EL consists of 500 sub-blocks of approximately 1,590 square kilometres. Yellow Rock Resources Limited acquired EL 25426 from Cabe in November 2007. A total of 120 scintillometer readings were taken in the 2008 program and over 200 in the 2010 program. 21 rock samples were sent for assay in 2008 and 142 MMI Soil samples, 6 Rock Chip samples and 21 Stream Sediment samples were collected and assayed in 2010. These were determined at Genalysis Laboratory, Maddington, Perth. Exploration was conducted in 2008 on one area (Area 1) and anomalous uranium counts were identified along the surveyed transect sites. The ground-checked uranium anomalies are located in the central-southern part of the Turner's Dome tenement (EL 25426). A sample grid was designed in this area but was unable to be used due to the large areas of dense, impenetrable scrub and woodland vegetation present. Access roads were mostly overgrown and since no clearing permit had been obtained, no vegetation was disturbed and extremely limited access on foot was possible. During the 2008-2009 fieldwork campaigns at Turner's Dome Project the following uranium anomalies were located from test-calibrated scintillometer readings: W1 (990m long) - anomaly to 160 cps (80 cps background); W2 (1200m long) - anomaly to 210 cps (80 cps background); W3 (240m long) - anomaly to 105 cps (80 cps background); and W4 (1900m long) - anomaly to 130 cps (80 cps background). In 2010 YRR conducted further substrate testing of the Central Area (1) and the Eastern Area (3) with a sampling program to evaluate the bedrock geology, geochemistry and uranium potential. The June 2010 work program included: A helicopter flight traverse to obtain stream sediment samples; Soil sampling using the MMI technique in the Central Area; Rock-chip sampling of previously identified high uranium response target areas; and A geological mapping survey conducted within a portion of the Central Area by contract geologist Matt McGloin.
