EL 26909 Mineral exploration surrender report, Borroloola Project, 9 June 2009 to 8 June 2013

Abstract

EL 26909 was applied for over one block on 5 August 2008 and granted on 9 June 2009 for a period of two years. At that time it made a part of Sandfire Resources' Borroloola Project Combined Reporting Group C121-09, of 14 granted tenements, and 4 applications, within the Batten Fault Zone of the MacArthur Basin. Extension of EL26909 for two years to 8 June 2013 was granted o n 8 August 2011. No field activities were undertaken on EL26909 during its term from 9 June 2009 the date of surrender, 8 June 2013. A comprehensive review was undertaken of published geological mapping and publicly available surface geochemical datasets over the south-west region of the Borroloola Project, including EL 26909. It was concluded that because the region had a high proportion of outcrop and a no anomalous geochemical response, it has little potential for significant base metals mineralisation. EL 26909 was surrendered at its expiry date, 8 June 2013.
