Annual and final technical report for EL 30254 1 September 2014 to 21 January 2016

Abstract

A couple of years ago I was looking for Reefs and Faults etc on Google Earth and I noticed a reef about a Km long. The Nth end of the reef is a Kilometre E,S.E of Emerald Springs and 400 metres N.E. of the Stuart Highway. The Sth end of the reef is about 400 metres N.E. of the Stuart Highway. I drove down to Emerald Springs and then drove in to the Nth end of the reef which has a an outcrop about 1.5 metre high. I then took a 7 kg sample of minus 5 m.m. gravel from close to the outcrop. I then went back to my camp to pan it in clean water. The result was a 2 cm tail of fine gold. I then decided to go back to Darwin and apply for an Exploration Licence 30254. I then returned to my Margaret Diggings camp to continue prospecting and sampling over the reef and various creeks nearby. Most of the gravel samples had very little gold and the rock chips I took and milled also had very little gold if any! There were signs that other Mining Companies had prospected the area. I therefore wish to surrender EL 30254.
