| Abstract: | EL 22821 on Elcho Island, East Arnhem Land was initially granted in October 2014 after traditional owners provided consent for bauxite exploration following a period of punctuated consultation dating back to 1981. Exploration programs aim to test whether bauxite occurrences on the eastern side of the island reported by Plumb (1965) are indications of a significant deposit of marketable bauxite. Preliminary geological reconnaissance included the collection and analysis of 10 rock-chip and float samples, the best of which returned assays of 23.3% available alumina and 14.7% reactive silica. Pervasive cover limits exposure of the underlying laterite and a program of vacuum drilling is planned to better test the laterite thickness and alumina grade across the license area. |
