Annual Report - Year 4 EL 10189, 23 July 2005 to 22 July 2006

Abstract

A total of twenty-eight samples were collected during the reporting period over several sampling programs. Four stream gravel samples were initially collected targeting areas upstream from the 75 diamond site. One sample collected over a previously identified anomaly (TIN10) reported a single chromite and another sample collected in drainage near to the 75 diamond site reported a rutile. A second sampling program involved the collection of three stream gravel samples with all reporting chromites. Following these positive results a small loam sampling program consisting of seven samples was completed on a nearby plateau that included samples collected over the site that had previously recovered four microdiamonds. One loam sample collected over the four microdiamond site recovered three microdiamonds thereby repeating the previous sample. A final program consisting of fourteen stream gravel samples were collected that reported four positive samples. The RTE drill target MAG06T remains to be drill tested, however, a stream gravel sample collected from drainage proximal to the anomaly returned negative results thereby downgrading the anomaly.
