Annual report for Crawford Creek EL 24948 for the period 3 July 2009 to 2 July 2010

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. Recent work immediately east of EL 24948 has also highlighted that some granite bodies (Teapot Granite) are prospective for U. It has not been established whether these granite bodies extend onto EL 24948. The recently acquired airborne geophysical survey (2,984 line km; magnetics, radiometrics, digital terrain) will greatly enhance Northern Mining's understanding of the geology and potential mineralisation. This survey covered the remaining portion of the tenure at 100 m spaced lines and a flight height of 50 m.
