Abstract: EL 32196 was granted in January 2020. Primary commodities sought are base metals, nickel, cobalt, PGE's, Ti, V and REE's. About one half of the area has outcrop of Arunta Complex metamorphics or Amadeus Basin sediments. There are no mines or deposits within the EL area; copper and REE mineralisation has been recorded at Pipeline and Arthur Popes prospects respectively. Previous explorers, notably CRAE and Mithril, mostly targeted gold and base metals (primarily copper) in Amadeus Basin sediments, nickel/PGE's in ultramafics and REE's in carbonatitic dykes outcropping in Arunta Complex rocks. Past explorers identified elevated and anomalous geochemistry in multiple elements from surface sampling but followed-up with limited drilling. Some programs were abandoned due to downturn in the investment cycle. Gempart believe that re-assessment of past exploration data in the light of new airborne geophysical data can vector prospect areas for more detailed investigation and drilling. In the first two years of tenure Gempart has completed a review and re-compilation of relevant data from government geotechnical databases and previous exploration results, detailed interpretation of existing aeromagnetic data, reconnaissance field trips, detailed airborne magnetic / radiometric survey, and VTEM survey. All of this work was conducted in the central part of the tenement, where there is prominent outcrop of Arunta Complex and surrounding sediments. The peripheral areas of the EL are largely under cover and are of little exploration interest in the current program. In consequence these areas have been relinquished.
