Annual report on EL 24948 Crawford Creek for the period 3 July 2007 to 2 July 2008

Abstract

EL 24948 Crawford Creek is part of Northern Mining Limited's Central Australian project. The tenement covers two discrete geological domains; the ca.1690-1610 Ma Warumpi Province and the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic Amadeus Basin. The Warumpi Province is considered highly prospective for Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag (Stokes Yard-type) and Cu-Zn-(Au) vein (Mt Larrie-type) mineralisation, whereas the Amadeus Basin is highly prospective for sandstone-hosted uranium-vanadium. In the second year of tenure, most work on EL 24948 was confined to compiling the historical exploration data and planning future work programs. The exploration of the licence was hampered by the inability to find exploration staff for much of the year.
