Abstract: Tenement EL 29520 lies approximately 230km SSE of Darwin along the Stuart Highway and 6km SE of the town of Pine Creek. Access is via good sealed roads from Darwin to Pine Creek and from thence via station tracks. The tenements surround areas of extensive gold mineralisation associated with the Pine Creek Shear Zone. The tenement overlies outcropping granites of the Cullen Supersuite, including the Bonrook Granite and the McCarthy Granite with regular outcrops of Burrell Creek Formation of the Finniss River Group on the western edge of the tenement. Cainozoic soils dominate in the east of the tenement The Burrell Creek Formation interpreted as a sequence of fine to coarse marine sediments and appears to be part of continuous sedimentation process. Due to the lack of marker horizons and poor exposure the width of the unit is unknown but is thought to be >1000m. This Formation is considered prospective for large low-grade gold deposits and has the potential for small high-grade deposits. Previously EL 29520 was part of the group report GR307/13, Pine Creek One Project, with a common reporting date set to 30th June. Following a review and rationalisation process in late 2013 all tenements from this group, with the exception of EL 29520 were surrendered. Following the surrender process EL 29520 reverted to its original reporting date related to the grant date of 15th January. No field work was under taken in the 2014 field season reflecting a corporate focus on the company's Toms Gully Project, located some 120km north of EL 29520. A review of the historic data was completed which allowed a prioritisation of target zones within the tenement and as such a portion of the tenement was surrendered to comply with the compulsory second year reduction. During the 2015 exploration year, activities will include an ongoing review of historic geochemical and geophysical data, with reconnaissance field visits and geological mapping.
