Annual report on EL 27558 Mordor Project, for the period 12 April 2010 to 11 April 2011

Abstract

Work done on the tenement to date has included: data acquisition, compilation and interpretation (open file, magnetics, gravity, other geological data); Field checking and attempted field checking of target areas identified to date. Two target areas were initially identified within the tenement. The first was a Cu occurrence within a small mapped meta-ultramafic rock. This area was checked and the Cu occurrence was located, but assay results (Cu-Pb-Zn anomalism) clearly preclude a magmatic sulphide origin for the mineralisation. The second initial target area of interest, another small area mapped as meta-ultramafic rock, proved much more difficult to access, and is still yet to be field checked. Vehicle access to near the area was attempted from both the north and south, but was not successful. Additional attempted field checking of the second area of interest within EL 27558 was planned for January 2011, but was delayed due to mustering. Large rainfall events in February and March and other project commitments in April hindered this field checking. At this stage further work is recommended. While the mapped ultramafic bodies within the tenement represent possible targets, field confirmation of the mapping is required before additional phases of exploration commence. The magnetic data available over the tenement area does not appear to be of particularly high quality, so additional bodies of interest could also be present and not mapped. The Cu occurrence has obviously been previously visited and examined. Initial impressions are that the occurrence is small in size. If helicopter EM surveys are deemed worthwhile over other targets in the project, then we may also cover the area of the occurrence to check for possibly larger nonoutcropping mineralisation. It has been recommended that helicopter access be used to verify the targets prior to any helicopter EM surveys or systematic local geochemical surveys (the likely next exploration phases).
