ML 24031 Bootu Creek Manganese Project Annual report for period 20 September 2008 to 19 September 2009

Abstract

Extensive RC drilling and sampling programs were undertaken to increase the resource base for OM (Manganese) in late 2008 and in 2009. A 30 hole diamond drilling program was used to collect samples for metallurgical testwork and product quality analyses. A detailed aeromagnetic and geophysical was completed in late 2008 and the resultant data reprocessed in Q2 2009. Anomalies observed in the geophysical data were drill tested in mid 2009. A high definition (0.3m ground pixel) aerial photography program was completed in Q2 2009.
