Partial relinquishment report for EL 31820, Vaughan Springs, Ngalia Regional Project period ending 29 March 2019

Abstract

Exploration Licence 31820 'Vaughan Springs' is part of the 100% owned Energy Metals Ltd (EME) Ngalia Regional Project situated approximately 360 km northwest of Alice Springs and 20 km southwest of the Bigrlyi uranium project. EL 31820 was a replacement title for EL 31636 and original title EL 24533 and came into effect in March 2018. The EL is located west of the Bigrlyi deposits and includes the Autobahn uranium prospect and the Yuendumu Thrust West uranium prospect. The tenement borders the tightly folded Vaughan Springs Syncline of the Treuer Range to the west, and in the south and east, comprises mainly of Mt Eclipse Sandstone under sand cover of variable thickness. Exploration activities on EL 31820, and its predecessors, have been limited by Aboriginal heritage sites where ground disturbing works were either not permitted or restricted. The heritage area covers all of the Treuer Range and part of the surrounding sand plain. Due to assessed low prospectivity for uranium mineralisation, six blocks along the northern boundaries of EL 31820 and four along the south-eastern boundary were relinquished. This report covers exploration activities that occurred on the relinquished area during EME's period of tenure.
