EL 26552 Helen Springs Project Annual (Year 5) and final technical report 2 September 2008 to 31 July 2013

Abstract

An aeromagnetic and radiometric geophysical survey was undertaken in year one and reprocessed in year two. Regional mapping (1:20,000 scale) was undertaken in year two mapping stratigraphy, structure and alteration on the areas immediately adjacent to EL 26552, on both the Renner Springs and Helen Springs Project areas. Activity in year three included a trial soil geochemistry survey undertaken by Neil Scriven and repair of the station tracks in years three and four to access both Renner Springs and Helen Springs Project areas. There was no exploration activity in year 5. EL 26552 had been reduced from the original 240 blocks granted in 2008 to 45 blocks by 2012. It was concluded that the remaining 45 blocks were no longer considered prospective for manganese mineralisation and were recommended for surrendered prior to end Year 5.
