Annual report on EL 25868 Allamber 1 for the period 27 September to 26 September 2016

Abstract

EL 25868 is located about 180 km SE of Darwin and 30-40 km east of Pine Creek. EL 25868 was previously part of amalgamated annual reporting group GR204-11 with EL 27365 but Element 92 previously relinquished EL 27365. The project area is located within central part of the Pine Creek Orogen which is a folded sequence of Palaeoproterozoic pelitic and psammitic sediments, with interlayered cherty tuff units. These rocks have been intruded by the late-orogenic Palaeoproterozoic granites, causing wide spread contact/thermal aureole which contains most of the gold and other mineralisation in the Orogen. Geology of the project area is dominated by the Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the Namoona Group, Mt Partridge Group and the members of the Cullen Batholith. Main lithologies are tightly folded dolomites, sandstones, ferruginous shales and quartz-andalusite schists which have intruded by the Allamber Springs and Minglo Granites. This geological sequence has potential for uranium, base metals and uranium mineralisation. The project area has been explored for uranium, gold and base metals mineralisation. During the year under review, exploration activities included a geological and geophysical assessment of the previously acquired data was undertaken and a target of interest was identified for further drilling.
