Abstract: | After studying open file information either near or on the boundary of EL 26007, and selecting areas of interest that had been gained from those reports, a helicopter reconnaissance trip was carried out in July 2008 to determine access and degree of outcrop. Geologist J.A.Earthrowl using a quadbike was able to carry out some mapping and sampling on his single day trip in August. He was only able to traverse across the tenement within the granitic areas and then up the western side of the EL, as shown on the map. Several outcrops of the hornfels were noted as was a mismapped quartz vein which was shown to be a raft of silicified dolomite. These two rock types are remnants of the assimilated sediments that extend across the batholith from the site of the Cleos Uranium prospect to the west. Also noted during this reconnaissance traverse were several hills of unconsolidated sands and gravels to the east of the top of the EL within the flood plain of the Mary River. These are known to contain alluvial gold deposits that have been successfully targeted by metal detector prospectors. |
