Browns Range NT Project Annual Group Technical Report for the period 21 August 2013 to 20 August 2014 EL 24193 and EL 24174

Abstract

The Browns Range Northern Territory (NT) project incorporates tenements EL 24174 and EL 24193. The two tenements were granted to Northern Minerals Limited on the 21/08/2012. Northern Minerals is currently exploring the project as part of a wider exploration program covering contiguous tenements in Western Australia and the Northern Territory over the greater part of the Browns Range Dome. The targeted commodity is Heavy Rare Earths associated with xenotime mineralization, similar to that at the Wolverine prospect on the Western Australian side of the Browns Range Dome. During the reporting period, on-ground work was limited an Aboriginal heritage survey providing permission for reconnaissance work including mapping, rock-chipping, and soil sampling. Other work completed during the reporting period included an interpretation of airborne magnetic and radiometric data covering the entire Browns Range Dome provided by Southern Geoscience, and a geomechanical analysis undertaken by Geological Modelling for Exploration (GMEX), which sought to model mineralisation events within the Browns Range Dome and hence predict further areas of interest. The work program for 2014 - 2015 will encompass target generation followed by reconnaissance geological mapping and a soil sampling program, both of which are likely to be helicopter supported.
