EL 28662 Bootu Creek Manganese Project Annual Technical Report Year 4 31 October 2014 to 30 October 2015

Abstract

A 219 infill (-80 mesh) soil sampling survey was conducted over the Looa Bore Project area, in November 2014, utilising a 2 man contract field crew from Arnhem Exploration Services. The infill survey followed up on the low level anomalous results returned from the eastern side of the initial wide spaced reconnaissance lines, sampled at 50m spacing on 7944400mN and 7945200mN in September 2014. The topography in this area is flat lying and generally covered by one to several metres of red windblown sand, with minor float and low lying sub-crop consisting of weathered sandstone from the Bootu Formation, located along the eastern limb of the Bootu Anticline. Rare manganese bearing pisolite fragments were observed in the anomalous area. Initial elevated assay results were regarded as +0.03%Mn and anomalous results as +0.05%Mn. Three infill lines on 7944000mN, 7944800mN and 7945600mN extend the strike length of the anomaly to 2.0 km with a peak value of 0.12%Mn. Further exploration, deferred until 2016, may include further infill soil sampling or Gradient Array IP survey to target initial RC drilling. Updated World View II satellite imagery from July 2015 was also purchased.
