EL 24464 Mount Mabel Sixth Annual Report for the period 11 April 2011 to 10 April 2012

Abstract

Survey data was received by the Compass consultant geophysist in February 2011 however there were significant difficulties encountered in processing the EM data. This was eventually traced back to potential interference from a Defence Department facility in the area. Given these difficulties, the data was not successfully processed until September 2011 with the data being supplied to DoR in October 2011. As the geophysical data was to form the basis of selecting new targets for further exploration within the licence and it was not available no field work was undertaken in 2011 resulting in an under-expenditure on the licence. A consultant geophysicist modelled the geophysical data in late 2011/early 2012 and has identified a series of EM anomalies requiring field evaluation.
