EL 23684 Western Creek Project Annual Report 17 June 2006 to 16 June 2007

Abstract

The Western Creek project (EL 23684) is located 78 km south west of Larrimah. The area is relatively unknown geologically and is believed to lie in the middle of the Palaeozoic Daly Basin, overlain by shallow Cretaceous sediments, and younger surficial deposits. Only surficial deposits are mapped in the area. During Year 4 of the licence shallow drilling of alluvial channels was completed with a large volume of sample collected for heavy mineral analysis and geochemistry in July and December 2006. In addition to shallow auger drilling a ground magnetometer survey was undertaken to test several magnetic anomalies. Further reconnaissance and rock chip sampling of outcrops was undertaken.
