Annual Report on EL 27961, 25 October 2012 to 24 October 2013 Tennant Creek Region

Abstract

Work completed during the reporting period included; desktop studies; data search and analysis, literature research, interpretation of existing data and reports; and fieldwork including on-site reconnaissance, prospecting and sampling (47 bags of rock samples) in the targeted areas. Results have been reviewed and interpreted. The area around Davidson's is largely under surface cover, though cover is probably fairly thin in many areas. The most prospective areas for more gold-bearing veining may be faulted margins of porphyry units - one unit was mapped' south of Davidson's, and the Davidson's vein appears to be on its faulted northern margin, and another was mapped about 3 km to the northeast (with some veined margins), where an assay result of 0.13 grams per tonne gold was also reported. There may be other such 'porphyritic felsic volcanics' under cover elsewhere in the area. The margins of these porphyries should be investigated and mapped, and any contacts or structures sampled, though if there is any significant gold mineralisation in the area (apart from Davidson's) it is likely to be under cover.
