MCN 668, 669, 670, 671 McKeddies Prospect Combined annual report and production report McKeddies project

Abstract

In 2008 an airborne geophysical (Magnetic and Radiometric) survey was undertaken. This was completed by GPX Airborne Pty Ltd. Exploration work focused on further desktop reviews along with analysis of the detailed geophysics, with no field work undertaken. Interpretation of the geophysical results and analysis of the previously mapped geology and scintillometer traverses for McKeddies has revealed some targets for further exploration. The ground scintillometer results showed a strong WSW-ENE fault structure through the centre of the tenements which also coincides with a break in the geological units and a change in the location of the arsenic contours. A review of the airborne radiometric data confirmed similar minor ENE or NE linear trends which are possibly faults. A compilation of uranium response and Ternary K-Th-U (potassium-thorium-uranium) plot confirmed a uranium anomaly located on MCN669 continuing across MCN670. This is possibly a channel structure. There was no mineral production on the leases during the tenement anniversary year. There were also no earthworks, drilling operations or rehabilitation works carried out during this period.
