EL 23591 and EL 24951 Fifth annual report for Muckaty for the year ended 2 May 2016 GR250

Abstract

The Muckaty Project is located approximately 130 km north of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. The region is underlain by the Palaeoproterozoic Namerinni Group (Carruthers Formation) in the north east and to the south west the Tomkinson Creek Group (Morphett Creek Formation). These are unconformably overlain by the Mesoproterozoic Renner Group (Powell Formation and Gleeson Formation) which are centrally located placed north west to south east. The region is thought to be highly prospective for several minerals including Manganese, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Platinum, Paladium and Gold, mention has been made of Barite and Uranium. During 2015-2016, the relinquishment of the mandatory portion of the EL's 23591 and 24951 occurred. Work focussed on the testing of the newly purchased CMD_DUO conductivity meter. A Orientation Survey was produced and concluded that the CMD_DUO would be an effective tool for the discovery of Manganiferous horizons in the Bootu Creek Region. During 2016-17 should see the use of the newly purchased CMD_DUO conductivity meter in the field to produce some manganese anomalies.
