First annual report on EL25238 Arltunga Goldfields Project

Abstract

The Altrunga gold project area is located some 110 km north east of Alice Springs in close proximity to the Alice to Adelaide Railway. After 70 km of sealed road along the Ross Highway, there is a formed gravel road which leads northeast for 33 km to the Arltunga Historical Reserve. The Genesis Arltunga tenement has a well documented historical mining heritage which has yet to be subjected to the full suite of modern exploration tools and is therefore highly prospective. During the year of the granted EL area, Genesis work was restricted to a study of open files available at the Northern Territory Department of Mines and Energy. The open file study demonstrated that there was some significant potential for gold in the area. Kastellco Geological Consultancy Ltd (KGC) was contracted by Genesis to conduct a desktop study over the area and to make recommendations on a follow-up exploration programme for the following year.
