Annual technical report on EL 26114 2 April 2009 to 1 April 2010

Abstract

Principal commodities sought are uranium and diamonds. Past exploration has comprised heavy mineral sampling for kimberlitic indicator minerals and testing of magnetic and gravity anomalies for kimberlite pipes. However no kimberlitic rocks or indicator minerals have yet been located. The Cambrian flood basalts in the south-west corner EL 26114 are considered prospective for Noril'sk-style Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits and diamonds. Activities included literature searches and data base compilation. Open file company reports were obtained from the Northern Territory Geological Survey and a review of past exploration data and geological concepts undertaken. Airphoto interpretation has identified geological and structural features for ground reconnaissance. During the term Diamantina Uranium Pty. Ltd. also negotiated the purchase of private company exploration reports.
