Second Annual Report Giles Creek EL 26819 for the period 15 March 2018 to 14 March 2019

Abstract

The Giles Creek project comprises exploration licence EL 26819 of 310 km2 in the northern part of the Musgrave Block Province, adjacent the WA/NT border about 500 km west of Alice Springs. It was granted on 15th March 2017 for a period of six years. This is a greenfields exploration project. The primary target is base metals and gold within Mesoproterozoic volcanics and sediments within a thrust/shear zone (Wankari Detachment Zone). The tenement area has been subject of very little previous exploration. During the first year of tenure, a consultant was engaged to complete a search of previous exploration activities and interpret existing data. Public domain geotechnical datasets were accessed, image-enhanced and analysed. Work focussed on defining exploration target areas from the remote sensed data with recommendations for initial field work. During the second year of tenure a detailed airborne survey collecting magnetic and radiometric data was flown over the entire tenement area. The survey qualified for cofunding in Round 11 of the NTGS Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program. The new data resolved to prospect scale magnetic and radiometric anomalies vaguely recorded in the 500 metre line spaced 1985 Petermann airborne survey, and advanced the exploration program to field investigation phase.
