Annual and final report EL 2710 Wanyilpa period ending 16 July 1986, Area relinquished not subject to ERL applications

Abstract

In that 1973, carnotite mineralisation was discovered in Mount Eclipse Sandstone at the northern edge of the Ngalia Basin. Further uranium mineralisation and radiometric anomlieis were found over a strike length of 12 kilometres of what become the Bigrlyi Prospect. The bulk of the exploration effort was carried out between 1971 and 1977 when EL 605 was in force. From 1977 to the date EL 2710 was granted (July 1981), the Bigrlyi Prospect Area saw no exploration work as the area was then under an SML application. Essentially, EL2710 was taken out in order that exploration work could continue on the Bigrlyi Prospect is now the subject of ten Exploration Retention Lease applications.
