dc.description.abstractEL 28136 'Blueys' lies 90 km east-north-east of Alice Springs, adjacent to the Historic Arltunga Reserve. Blueys is a known Cu-Ag prospect. Previous workers have drilled the main prospect, but no resource has yet been established. Only sporadic, minor intersections of anomalous mineralisation were encountered beneath the surface dolomitic outcrops that contained malachite staining. Office work undertaken during year 2 included a reinterpretation of an earlier SkyTEM anomaly. A detailed literature review and several field visits were also conducted. The results suggested that the EM anomaly (the 'dogleg') had a genuine conductor, beneath the Heavitree quartzite hill and probably on a contact with the Bitter Springs formation. Previous drilling by Western Desert of a nearby EM anomaly to the east indicated the source was a pyritic black shale. A shallow RC drill hole is recommended to test whether there is any economic mineralisation (Cu, Ag, Pb) occurring with the conductor (black shale?) at depth.
