Abstract

The subject licence, in conjunction with nine (9) others was given Group Reporting status in 2012 as GR 086/09. This was followed by EPA status in 2013. In September 2015, a penalty partial cancellation notice for the group was issued due to under expenditure for two successive years. Cancellation of twenty one (21) sub-blocks from the licence was undertaken by Crossland. In January 2016, the company voluntarily relinquished 326 blocks bringing the total remaining blocks to 153 (475.38 km2). Exploration activities have consisted of an airborne geophysical survey and stream sediment sampling. A proportion of costs for both Environmental and Feasibility studies, conducted between 2012 and 2013 were allocated to the licence. No on-ground exploration activities have been carried out since 2012.
