Partial relinquishment report Flemington EL 27640

Abstract

NRE?s exploration activities during the term of the permit and in particular, of the relinquished area, consisted of both office-based and field activities. An initial regional assessment of the areas within EL27640 and NRE?s South Nicholson Project for diamond and base metals was conducted during the initial term. The targets areas were identified based on desktop research of regional geological and geophysical data, augmented with compilation and assessment of all previous exploration results. The aim of work has been to carry out a field assessment of the prospects in order to identify target characteristics and define the next phase of exploration. An array of material was assessed prior to field work, to assist with optimal target generation. This material included an extensive review of historic exploration conducted over the relinquished area. There has been a number of previous exploration tenements over the subject relinquished area. In January 2011, the Department kindly allowed NRE to set-up in the Darwin Core Facility where NRE?s geologists undertook analysis of the water bore cuttings using a hand-held XRF device and re-logged water bores. One water bore was assayed from the relinquished area.
