MLN 1123 Annual Technical Report 5 January 2016 to 4 January 2017

Abstract

During the reporting period, two exploratory programs were completed. This included a geophysical survey using Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) as well as a drilling program. The aims of the ERI survey were to: Define key geological structures influencing groundwater pathways and; Identify drill targets to define these structures further. The drilling program aimed at: Identifying targets of potential high groundwater transport as defined by the ERI Survey; Waste Characterisation and; Instrument installation. The ERI survey identified two targets for drilling which were drilled during the 2016 reporting period. These drill holes identified faulted structures throughout MLN 1123. A total of 100 samples (including QAQC) from the waste characterisation drilling were submitted to ALS Brisbane with 74% of returned samples considered environmentally benign.
