Annual and final report Birrimba Project EL 29751 for the period 22 July 2013 to 17 July 2015

Abstract

The primary target is copper-gold. There is also some potential for Ni-Cu-PGE. Copper mineralisation has been observed over a wide area near the contact of the Antrim Plateau Volcanics and overlying Montejinni Limestone in the Northern Territory. Most occurrences are secondary copper in areas of outcrop. No primary source has been identified. During the first year of tenure, the titleholder completed a search of previous exploration activities. Public domain geotechnical datasets were accessed, image-enhanced and analysed. Work focussed on defining drill targets from the remote-sensed data without the need for ground-based geophysical surveys. In the second year of tenure interpretation of existing geophysical data was completed and three sites identified for investigation with reverse circulation drilling. A Mine Management Plan was submitted and the landowner contact process initiated. However due to a sharp decline in the exploration investment sector the program as planned failed to proceed within the tenure and expenditure requirement time frames. The tenement was relinquished before the expiry of the second term.
