EL 8883 Bluebush, EL 10402 Amadeus Second combined annual report 20 March 2002 to 19 March 2003

Abstract

This report records the exploration work done over the Bluebush gravity anomaly with a great deal of exploration focused within EL 8883 and EL 10402. This work included assessment of the results from the drilling program completed within the EL 8883 during the previous year, geophysical interpretation, target generation, ground water sampling and analysis, modelling of aeromagnetic and detailed gravity data, drilling of nine RC drill holes in EL 8883 and one RC drill hole in EL 10402 and obtaining land access clearances. Results from the drilling did not return anomalous values. Ground water chemistry analysis supported the results of the groundwater geochemistry undertaken last year on samples. The coincident geochemical and gravity anomaly may constitute a groundwater geochemical signature for the source of the gravity anomaly in the Bluebush project region. Several rock chip samples were taken for rock identification and description. It was interpreted that the basement rocks examined in the project area are from an intraplate, extensional environment. After technical meeting with the BHP Billiton it was concluded that no significant geochemical intersections were identified in the drilling and no substantial mineralisation had been found in the Bluebush project area. In summary the findings from the drilling were not of sufficient interest to the Alliance to consider any follow up exploration.
