Abstract: | Exploration conducted on MLN 296 during the reporting period included reprocessing of the Rum Jungle Geophysical Survey by Southern Geoscience Consultants, a geophysical (VTEM survey) and a small soil sampling program. Barrett's tin workings lie within MLN 296. The pegmatite is irregular in outline, and dips to the northeast at an average angle of 30 degrees. The pegmatite body intertongues with, and contains blocks of country rock, which account for approximately fifteen percent of the pegmatite. High grade pockets of ore are common on the contacts of these xenoliths. Most shafts, costeans and pits are less than 7 m deep. The only recorded production from Barrett's is 117 t of Sn concentrate that was won prior to 1910. Soil sampling in 2005 identified low level Li anomalism at the Barrett's Workings. Additional rock chip sampling of the pegmatite needs to be completed (with a view to identifying Li mineralisation), in addition to an open file review of all previous exploration completed. |
