Final report for EL 25690

Abstract

During early July 2010, the Terra Search geologist spent several days at the Northern Territory Geological Survey core farm at Winnellie, in Darwin. The objective was to search, log and sample water bores in and around the tenements. Four holes were sampled and several more were logged. All the chips were photographed for future reference. Additionally, the Northern Territory Mines Department offices in central Darwin were visited to obtain reference materials. These included NTGS Record 2007-003: 'Phosphate testing of waterbores and diamond drillcore in the Georgina, Wiso and Daly basins, Northern Territory'. The Hydrogeological division of NRETA was visited in Palmerston. The latter proved invaluable for guidance to the online waterwell database. No site investigation was performed. The geologist had visited the tenements two years earlier, observing at that time the poor outcrop and extremely flat terrain. Without subsurface investigation by drilling, he felt that no useful purpose could be served by a time-consuming field visit. Generally the assay results were disappointing. As a result, it has been decided that no more exploration work will be carried out in this tenement in this reporting period, and the exploration license is applied to be relinquished.
