Final Report for EL 23523 from 11 December 2017 to 15 November 2021 Birrindudu Project

Abstract

The surrendered tenement (EL 23523) is wholly owned by Prodigy Gold NL (Prodigy, [formerly ABM Resources]) and formed part of the Birrindudu Project (GR163) which currently comprises a total of two tenements and is centred approximately 650 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs, 90 km northwest of the Callie Mine. Prodigy is exploring the project for the potential of gold and base metal mineralisation. In November 2021 a voluntary outright surrender for EL 23523 was lodged, effective from 15 November 2021. During the tenure no on-ground exploration activities were completed. A desk top study generated two targets, a 4km x 8km Au-Ag in-calcrete anomaly (CGSG 12) and an imbricate fan of thrust faults along the Birrindudu Thrust (CGSG 32). A Master of Science prospectivity study concluded that the Birrindudu project area has the potential to host a mafic / ultramafic complex, which is associated with a dilational jog of a regionally significant transform structure. Various generations of airborne and ground magnetic datasets were processed and merged producing new images. The new images which include the Birrindudu Project area show a significantly improved resolution compared to previous images. Given the limitations on access and its remote location, Prodigy Gold lodged an outright surrender of the tenement in order to focus on higher priority exploration areas.
