EL 27115 Walabanba Project Partial relinquishment report 18 September 2009 to 17 September 2013

Abstract

In 2009 Toro undertook a TEMPEST survey over the south western part of the project area. Some of the relinquished portion of the licence is covered by a portion of the survey but cookie cutting of the data will not produce meaningful results on its own and has therefore not been included in this report. Toro has also undertaken a geochemical soil/rock sampling programme across the Walabanba Hills project area, one rock sample falling within the relinquished area (ID_231027) and an aircore drilling programme, of which one hole falls within the relinquished area (RP00052). After the drilling a groundwater information report was prepared for the landowners in the area. When measuring flow-rate and collecting a water sample the air was circulated for enough time for the drillers water to be flushed from the hole so that only groundwater was being tested. The excerpt for RP00052 is a follows, 'RP00052 ended on top of a hard crystalline sandstone or silcrete. This hole produced strong flows of warm to hot slightly salty water with total dissolved solids from 2300-2500 ppm'. Reviews of available geology, hydrogeology and geophysics within the project area have resulted in 124 blocks being retained for further exploration.
