EL 29726 Barrow Creek Project Annual technical report 29 May 2013 to 28 May 2014

Abstract

EL 29726 forms part of Wuhua's Barrow Creek Project (EL 29726, EL 29727, and EL 29735) in the Murray Downs area of the Northern Territory. The area is considered to be prospective for phosphate, gold, copper, tin and tantalite mineralisation. Exploration during the reporting period comprised ground reconnaissance trip to locate and sample the surface geology and nearby known mineral occurrences. Most of the tenement areas are covered by Cainozoic sediments, predominantly uncemented aeolian sand plains and dunes; with some outcropping Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Georgina Basin sedimentary sequences. The base of the valley (creek) floor is largely covered by transported, predominantly colluvial-alluvial material. This cover is probably quite thick in places, but areas were identified where lag sampling was feasible to test for mineralisation in both the valley fill and basement. The desktop study of EL 29726 for mineral exploration has been focused on the overview and technical proposal of the geological, geophysical and tectonic setting. This preliminary geoscientific study aims to investigate the geophysical and geological expression of structures related to any mineralisation. These studies will assist exploration in the Yambah region and provide fundamental data for increasing knowledge of geological processes and landscape evolution within this region.
