Abstract: EL 23541 is located 130km SE of Darwin, NT and 5km west of Brocks Creek siding on the Darwin-Adelaide railway. The tenement is subject to the Burnside Joint Venture, managed by Burnside Operations P/L comprising Territory Goldfields NL and Buffalo Creek Mines NL. The latter are subsidiaries of Northern Gold NL and Harmony Gold (Australia) P/L respectively. The licence encompasses a suite of metasedimentary rocks that are part of the Pine Creek Geosyncline sequence and lies between the gold mining centres of Brocks Creek and Cosmo Howley. This is the first year following grant of the licence and the annual expenditure was set at $2,500.00. The joint venture has been actively exploring the Burnside region since its formation in April 2002. Work to date has been focused on establishing open pit resources through RC drilling at Yam Creek, Mottrams, Chinese South, Cosmo Howley, and Woolwonga. Underground development and diamond drilling has been carried out at the Zapopan Mine. Work on EL 23541 has been subordinate to activity on other JV tenements as the emphasis has been on establishing gold resources at established mineralised prospects. Expenditure during 2003 was related to a remote sensing study and reporting. This amounted to $550.00. A large volume of unsorted historic exploration data exists at the Brocks Creek library. Sorting and collation of this data in 2004-05 will advance the state of understanding of the tenement's prospectivity. This work is costed at $700.00.
