Combined annual report 13 January 2011 to 12 January 2012

Abstract

The area is highly prospective for base metal mineralisation due to its unique geology; the interaction of the Cambrian aged Antrim Plateau volcanics and the underlying Limbunya group lithologies as well as the vesicular nature of the upper volcanic flow. This is combined with both local and regional faulting in the area which could allow fluid movements between lithologies. Due to this the area has been the focus of numerous reconnaissance and explorative activities in the past and present. Work undertaken during the reporting year by Spitfire involved helicopter reconnaissance on targets across the granted licences leading to field observations and interpretations as well as in-situ rock chip samples being collected from surface. Following this, airborne geophysics was conducted across specific areas using magnetics and radiometrics to target structures and base metal anomalies. Based upon this information, further aerial electromagnetic surveys and reconnaissance trips will be undertaken in 2012 to help better define future drill targets.
