Abstract: | Work on tenement EL 23173 during the reporting period has consisted of a literature review of previous land holders, and compilation of data and entry into the Regional GIS database, interpretation of remote-sensing imagery over the project area, traverses along the northern and western boundaries, and a reconnaissance traverse toward 130 degree magnetic through the center of the EL. Rock chips of outcropping Quartz veining were also collected (Results pending). Access to EL 23173 is possible from the 47-mile track, which joins the Amhem Highway, and the Marrakai Track. A short 1.1 km bush track joins the northwestern corner of the tenement with the 47 mile track. Low rubble strewn hills and ridges dominate the topography and numerous gullies, channels and creeks amenable to stream sediment BLEG soil sampling drain the area. Bedrock exposure is limited throughout the tenement, where more resistant lithologies do occur, prominent outcrops are present, mainly consisting of meta-quartzite, ferruginised sandstones, and bands of cherty, silicified cream - weathered Gerowie Tuff. A remnant ferruginous lateritic duricrust with cemented lithic fragments is also present on hills along the western boundary of the tenement. Processed regional magnetic imagery indicates a linear, north-west trending structure (magnetic low) transacting the north-eastern sector of EL 23173, and is interpreted to be an ancient basement structure which may have interacted with the overlying folded geosynclinal succession to provide channels/pathways for mineralizing fluids. |
