Title: | Blue Bush Project, Annual and final report EL 28958, for period ending 18 January 2013 |

Abstract: | EL 28958 formed the Blue Bush Project, a rare earth element (REE) prospect covering 186.7km2 in the northern central parts of the Granites Tanami crustal block. The exploration target was for Rare Earth Elements (REE's) either in primary carbonatitic rocks or in secondary sedimentary horizons of the Gardiner Beds in the basal Palaeoproterozoic Birrindudu formation. A desktop study was conducted over the area after unconfirmed reports of REE phosphates had been recovered in the area. An open file review did find a single report revealing elevated REE's in a quartzite rock chip in open ground and several REE mineral occurrences in the broader area, but these were all under tenement. The regional area has several known REE mineral deposits at Killi Killi to the West, the Whites Beach and Don deposits to the northwest and Pargee Sandstones to the south. Very little open ground existed in the area except for some ground to the north of Coomarie Granite Dome, which Kinloch pegged. The desktop study also found that very little REE exploration had been reported within the boundaries of the Blue bush tenement. No ground investigations were conducted during the 10 month tenure and the ground was surrendered prior to its first anniversary due to a rationalization of projects. |
