EL 24822 Third annual report 4 April 2008 to 3 April 2009

Abstract

In this CKA 1 programme, a small sample is taken at 10 metre intervals along six 500 metre lines. Sampling is carried out by taking a small scoop approximately every 10m constituting 2 samples per line which results in a sample of about 30 - 35kg. The 2kg geochem sample is split and reduced form this sample. The bulk samples were dispatched to Diatech, of Kelmscott WA. The 2kg samples taken for geochemical analysis were sent to North Australian Laboratories of Pine Creek NT. Results of this work are not yet available. The Project Area appears to be in a significant structural position and geophysical and aerial photographic and satellite appraisal suggest that the one magnetic response at CKA 1 could represent a kimberlite. The previous sampling of CKA 1 were unsuccessful, consequently a system successfully used by DeBeers in the Kalahari Desert has been applied in the current sampling to determine if any diamonds or key indicator minerals are present in the vicinity of the CKA 1 magnetic anomaly.
