EL 8040 Annual report period 10 August 1999 to 9 August 2000

Abstract

Exploration work includes field inspection and traverses aiming examine the area and collect samples from the regolith over the anomaly. No anomalous rocks were noted during the hill traverses. No mafic or hybrid mafic rocks were found. The main anomaly appears to be covered by sandy soils derived from tablelands. The main outcrop, located down the eastern side of the anomaly had been sampled. The main creek draining the anomaly was panned and the usual suite of heavy minerals (ilmenite/magnetite, and ferro-magnesium) was found. Further work including shallow drilling is planned within the area.
