Fourth and final annual report for EL 27416 for the period 13 May 2010 to 3 July 2013

Abstract

Exploration activities conducted by Proto Resources and Investments Ltd (Proto) and their JV partners are based on the possibility of the Antrim Plateau Volcanics (as part of the Kalkarindji Volcanic Group) hosting economic 'Norilsk-style' Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Work during the tenure has included: Compilation of Geophysical Data in the region; Rock chip reconnaissance of the region; Gravity Survey across the Blackfellow fault; and Commencement of a partly funded Research project headed by Dr Mike Widdowson of the Open University (UK) and Dr David Murphy of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) including field visits, data analysis and planning. Unfortunately, due to the economic climate funding has had to be concentrated in other priority regions and EL 27416 has had to be surrendered.
