Epenarra project partial surrender report for the period 2 September 2009 to 1 September 2011 EL 27072 and EL 27085

Abstract

During 2010 compilation of publicly available regional data sets such as aeromagnetics, radiometrics, gravity and geological mapping was completed. Interpretation and analysis of this data was completed in order to determine initial targets and areas for on-ground investigation. Several attempts were made to commence on-ground exploration activities during 2011. Regional bushfires which burnt throughout August / September delayed on-ground exploration, and an attempt to get on the ground in late August / early September had to be postponed due to mustering activities (aerial and on-ground) in the area surrounding the Epenarra Homestead located west of EL 27085. A second attempt in mid-November also had to be abandoned due to heavy rains in the region. As a result, it was not possible to complete the proposed mapping, sampling and drilling activities that were scheduled for 2011.
