Final report for EL 24639 Finniss Range Tin-Tantalum project

Abstract

Haddington, as operator of the tenement, carried out extensive programs of soil sampling, rock chipping and RAB drilling. These programs were designed to explore both for extensions of previously known as well new pegmatite bodies which would be prospective for tin and tantalum. These programs were generally successful in generating targets and in discovering new pegmatite bodies but were overall disappointing in that the concentrations of tin and tantalum were relatively low considering the small size of the potential mining targets. Most of this work was carried out within the two western parts of the retained area and has been recorded in earlier EL 24639 reports.
