Abstract: The tenement is located at a range of uranium occurrence that occur just south from the town of Adelaide River. They follow to the west of Dorat Rd, state route 23. The uranium mineralisation at George Creek is described as localised by weak shear in greywacke; it closely resembles the nearby Adelaide River type of deposit but is much smaller. The rocks, sandstone and siltstone which form part of the east limb of a large north-plunging syncline also belong to the Lower Proterozoic Burrell Creek Formation. The radioactive anomaly within the 3X background contour covers an area of approximately 4 acres. No field working has been carried out during the reporting period. No significant result. The tenement is surrendered. The ground does appear to represent unconformity related sandstone hosted Uranium mineralisation, which significantly, hosts much of the NT's important deposits. Past exploration reporting on proximal deposits also indicates these may not have been adequately tested and may not have had modern exploration techniques applied which may suggest there is further technical upside to exploration in the area. However, not much new field work has been undertaken due to funding's and low staffing issue with newer exploration projects during the prevailing softness in the mineral industry.
