dc.description.abstract | EL 26698 was granted to Palace Resources Ltd on 21 November 2008. Palace had acquired a significant tenement holding in the Marla area to the south which was prospective for gold but was attracted to the Tanami area because of its geological affinities to the East Alligator River area and therefore it potential for uranium. Palace was granted a large EL 25207, on 12 February 2007 and a detailed airborne magnetics/radiometrics survey over this area indicated the presence of a Lower/ Mid Proterozoic unconformity and a number of significant radiometric anomalies, in an area of pastoral leasehold, conducive to uranium exploration. Accordingly it applied for a further 3 ELs including EL 26698. The airmagnetics suggests that the Tenement could either host the unconformity between the Mid Proterozoic Birrindudu-Victoria Basin clastics and lies just south and east of the exposed unconformity with the Archaean/:Lower Proterozoic Tanami Complex. It is not known how thick this cover may be and therefore how concealed is the prospective unconformity, but radiometric anomalies are known to extend through the Mid Proterozoic cover not far to the west. Potential simple mapping, radiometrics and surface geochemistry may be able to detect uranium mineralization occurring at or above the unconformity. Before Palace could mount a significant field follow up of the airborne anomalies etc the economic downturn curtailed its activities and eventually it was forced to jointventure most of the Tanami Project to Excalibur Mining Corporation Ltd, which is active in the NT. Excalibur did not include EL 26698 in the joint venture and therefore no field work was carried out on the Tenement in the first year of tenure. With a somewhat improved financial climate, Palace itself intends to prospect the Tenement in 2010, employing geological mapping, ground radiometrics and partial digest soil geochemistry. Palace would anticipate a budget of $25,000 to complete this work. | en_US |
