2007 Annual report on EL 24150, AuQuest Project, period beginning 25 January 2006 and ending 24 January 2007

Abstract

EL 24150 is 47.7 square kilometres in size adjoining the Adelaide River to the east, and south of the Arnhem Highway. The ground covers extensive Black Soil plains of the Adelaide River floodplain. Fencelines and station tracks are present along the eastern and southern borders of the licence. These were used to gain access to isolated outcrops, ridges and hills. Exploration of EL 24150 began during the dry season. Literature reviews of previous work were carried out and entered into GIS databases. Interpretation of all available Geodata was carried out concurrently with field activities; Geology maps, 1:20,000 colour aerial photography, Landsat imagery, reprocessed aeromagnetic and radiometric imagery, and detailed 1:20,000 Topographic maps were all extensively consulted.
