Abstract: | The EL 23971 tenement is located approximately 65 km northeast of Oenpelli in north-west Arnhem Land and is consequently processed under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1975 (ALRA). The geology of the tenement area comprises Cretaceous sedimentary cover of the Bathurst Island Formation with outcropping Proterozoic Kombolgie Sandstone in the southern most corner of the tenement overlying the Nimbuwah Formation. The Arrla Bay region has been explored primarily for uranium. Historical exploration on the tenement has been undertaken by Union Carbide Exploration from 1970 to 1973 and PNC Exploration Australia and Cameco Australia from 1996 to 2004 on tenement EL 5891. RTX has explored the tenement since 2013 including a helicopter supported sampling programme in October 2013. In the current reporting period, 55% of the tenement area was surrendered, retaining the SE corner. No work was completed during this reporting period. |
