Final report 17 December 2010 to 18 December 2013, Murlanba EL 28056

Abstract

The work and expenditure program for EL 28056 consisted of a detailed geological review of existing data and information towards determining the location of possible diamond mineralisation within the tenement as well as any possible base metal potential. NRE has carried out a detailed geological assessment of the tenures within its South Nicholson Project. NRE's exploration activities during the first term included considerable research. Research included review and compilation of the data in the Northern Territory Geological Services' ('NTGS') open file reports, air photo imagery, geochemical samples, geophysical survey data, drilling results and examination of the latest geological maps. During NRE's helicopter reconnaissance program over the South Nicholson Project, NRE targeted areas for ground evaluation on the basis of previous geophysical surveys, in particular aeromagnetics and radiometrics. Sites were tested using a scintillometer and by the taking of soil and rock samples. Geological observations and photographs were recorded at each site. Although no samples (soil or rock) were collected from EL 28056 prospect, this data was used to further understand the surrounding geology for future interpretations. On complete review of all desktop and field work conducted over the tenure, NRE believes that no further exploration is warranted at this time. EL 28056 was surrendered on 18 July 2013.
