Abstract: | An extensive loam and stream gravel sampling program commenced over the mining lease and surrounding exploration licence EL 26944 targeting the unconformity between the Bukalara Sandstone and the overlying Cretaceous Sandstone. A total of 110 samples were collected with 61 samples processed during the reporting period. A total of 32 reported positive results. The results are considered encouraging and highlight the potential for additional discovery within the mining lease. A total of twenty targets were identified for investigation using an EM34 ground electromagnetic instrument. A total of 43 line kilometers were completed. Pending further investigation a number of these targets may be recommended for drill testing during the next reporting period. Several targets remain to be investigated. A borehole mining trial operated for a one month period and achieved success in a number of key areas. Further engineering works are required to increase the rate of production to sustain an economic operation. |
