Abstract: ML 23839, which hosts a modest gold resource at Mount Porter, was granted to Arafura Resources on 2 February 2005 for a period of twenty-five years. In March 2013 Ark Mines Ltd vended into the tenement as part of the overall Arafura's Mount Porter-Frances Creek gold project, which currently comprises six licenses. Four of the licenses are shared with Territory Resources Limited, which they are entitled to the Fe resources.
