Partial Relinquishment Report for SEL 24032 Crawford for the period 14 July 2004 to 13 July 2008 Barrow Creek JV

Abstract

Initial fieldwork after the signing of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with Traditional Owners and the Central Land Council comprised of a reconnaissance program to check out future access for drilling rigs along with minor soil and lag sampling. More recently the tenement was included in Newmont's Tanami Regional Framework Study, which highlighted the prospectivity of the area. A ground gravity survey was carried out over the combined Barrow Creek and Lander River tenements in November 2006. Reconnaissance RAB holes were drilled along access tracks in the west of the lease during May 2007. A comprehensive regional reconnaissance BLEG sampling program was carried out during 2007 with a limited number of lag samples taken as well. Regolith interpretation is being finalised. The geological interpretation of the geophysical data will aid in formulating future programs.
