Abstract: | This report covers exploration work carried out on the Chilling project for the 2009 field season. The project now comprises six exploration licences, EL 23682, EL 24557, EL 25076, EL 25077, EL 25078 and the recently granted EL 22738, all of which form a north-south trending corridor stretching from Litchfield Park in the north to the Wingate Plateau in the south. The presence of uranium in what is interpreted to be an unconformity-related environment has been investigated by Crossland at several locations within the project properties. Uranium also occurs in a structural setting in granite at the historical MEMA prospect in EL 25076 and in pegmatitic vein swarms within the Soldiers Creek granite located in EL 22738. The entire region covered by the tenements has high potential for uranium deposits due to the presence of favourable source and host rocks and the identification of suitable structural traps and depositional sites. Both diamond drilling and air core programs were completed during the 2009 reporting period. Other activities consisted of programs of intensive soil and stream sediment sampling in conjunction with airborne radiometric anomaly assessment, geological mapping, rock chip sampling and close-spaced regional spectrometer surveys. The more intensive work was restricted to EL 24557, EL 25076 and EL 22738. Within the latter tenement the discovery of interpreted lower Proterozoic stratigraphy with associated uranium and base metal anomalies led to a very intensive exploration program. Historical government mapping and mineral exploration activities over this area failed to recognise the significance of the lithologies present. All activities are tabulated by tenement. |
