Annual report for MLC's 15, 16, 49, 50, 51, 225-228, 498-505, 518, 523, 528, 529, 535, 546, 561, 581-583 and 683 for the year ending 25 February 2001

Abstract

Environmental rehabilitation of historical exploration drill holes were completed with 86 drill holes plugged with concrete plugs in a manner as stipulated by the Northern Territory Department of Mines and Energy. Final mag-probe interpretation and modeling was completed. The work supports earlier conclusions that the ironstone bodies (probably three) that are responsible for the magnetic anomalies were not intersected in the two recent drill holes, but they appear to be too small to be a Normandy sized target for further work. Three diamond drill holes were completed (EL5DD-001, EL5DD-002, EL5DD-003). The follow-up hole EL5DD-003 was completed at a depth of 442.6m (271m RC precollar, 171.6m NQ2). No on ground exploration has been planned for the remainder of 2001.
