Partial relinquishment report for EL 30613, Singleton Phosphate Project to 31 October 2018

Abstract

EL 30613 is being explored for Cambrian rock phosphate. The EL covers rocks intersected in waterbores near Singleton Station homestead which were previously interpreted by NuPower/Central Australian Phosphate to be prospective Cambrian carbonates and siltstones. As result of the first years' desktop studies, the least geologically and hydrologically prospective part of the EL, a CLC no-go area, and AAPA sites were relinquished from EL 30613, reducing it from 56 blocks to 21. In this report a further three blocks, considered the next least prospective, are being relinquished, taking the total area retained to 18 blocks or 57.79 km2. There has been no on-ground work on the relinquished blocks. All funds are currently being directed to the nearby Ammaroo Phosphate Project. Drilling of the area retained at Singleton is planned if, and when, funds become available.
