ML 23348 Annual report for Stanton and Running Creek

Abstract

ML 23348 title is currently held by Mineral Estates Pty Ltd. Mineral Estates also hold titles EL 26548 and EL 23531 adjacent to ML 23348 and wish to develop all three titles in one venture. A phased strategy has been devised to effect this which requires both accurately determining known resources on ML 23348 and EL 23531 and EL 26548. The discovery of additional mineral deposits on EL 26548 will have significant impact on the economic viability of the prospect. A series of 78 RC holes for 75m on EL 23531 was planned as the first stage. This was initiated in 2007/2008 FY after extensive preliminary geological assessments and field trips however it was not completed due to inability of the RC drill rig to traverse Running Creek. It was scheduled to be completed during the 2009 dry season (2008/2009 FY). Due to the global financial crisis Mineral Estates Pty Ltd has ceased all exploration and/or mining work until markets improve. Consequently no exploration and/or mining work was performed during the period relating to this report.
