EL 22959 Litchfield Project Annual report for the period ending 16 February 2004

Abstract

The tenement area lies in the western parts of the Pine Creek Inlier (Litchfield Province) and is considered to have good potential for magmatic Cu-Ni mineralisation related to the Wangi Basics. The Litchfield Province is the continuation of the prospective Halls Creek Province of the Kimberleys, a known significant magmatic Cu-Ni province. Work conducted includes, a comprehensive open file review, published literature review, interpretation of aeromagnetic, gravity and landsat data and a GIS study. This work confirmed the prospectivity of the tenement area for magmatic Cu-Ni mineralization related to the Wangi Basics. Previous exploration has shown that there are undercover extensions to the mafic/ultramafics. Aeromagnetics suggest further bodies of these rocks may be represented in the general area. A program of airborne EM is planned to cover the known mafic/ultramafic intrusions and the broad structural corridors that contain them.
