Abstract: An extensive rock-chip and sediment sampling program was undertaken in this area over a number of years. The ground team encountered many setbacks during this process due to the huge rainfall over the wet seasons in the area. This factor effectively reduced access to the area to about seven months of the year. This being further reduced by limited access tracks being only graded by the station workers if they were needed in the upcoming mustering season. Another factor that impeded the program was the extensive undergrowth covering most area's that limited visibility in some cases to almost zero. These areas were covered in the coarse of time mostly on foot after bushfires had gone through. Aerial surveys were initiated to overcome access problems presented by rugged terrain and a four wheel drive was highly modified to gain access to areas pin pointed in the aerial survey. Extensive hours were put in by the ground crew on this area as a whole including all areas targeted by the aerial survey. Many samples were taken and upon inspection by our geological support team all but two from this area were found not to contain sufficient mineralisation to warrant further testing. . A large amount of time and resources have been put into the exploration of this area and after extensive consultation with our geological support team we have come to the conclusion to relinquish 65 blocks that were held under the EL 26930. I have supplied the results of test samples 081A and SWCRB that were taken from this area.
