Annual Technical Report for the period 22 April 2019 to 21 April 2020 EL 23565 Zamia Creek

Abstract

This report documents work undertaken by DPG Resources Australia Pty Ltd (DPG) on EL 23565 for the period 22 April 2019 to 21 April 2020. Following DPG's successful negotiation of a farm-in agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd (RTX) for EL 23565 on 23 January 2014, DPG engaged a technical consultant to undertake a tectonostratigraphic review of the tenement. DPG experienced delays with scheduled meetings with the Northern Land Council (NLC) and the Traditional Owners in 2015, and as a result field work could not be undertaken on EL 23565. In August 2016 a Squirrel Helicopter was mobilized from Darwin for reconnaissance and initial soil, rock chip and stream sediment sampling. Due to the absence of a Traditional Owner of the area the programme was limited. The target lithology being the Barney Creek equivalent is recessive in the area traversed. No fieldwork was undertaken in 2019 - 2020 as the NLC was unable to facilitate a Work Programme Meeting. Exploration is planned for the next year 2020 - 2021 with airborne EM and ground work including geological mapping planned in conjunction with work on EL 24305. The travel restrictions due to COVID may impact on work this year.
