Harts Range Project Annual Report EL 33109 for the period 12 September 2022 to 11 September 2023

Abstract

The Exploration Licence EL 33109 is located in Harts Range Area, which is approximately 170km northeast of Alice Springs. Access to the project area from Alice Springs is achieved by taking the all-season sealed Stuart Highway northward, followed by Plenty Highway eastward, then with some bush tracks to reach the tenement area. This licence was granted to Prospect Ores Pty Ltd since 12 Sep 2022 with 6 years period, and total area is 8 blocks. This project is entirely situated within the Entia Dome, positioned in the eastern Arunta Region. It constitutes a segment of the Aileron Province, a window of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in an area dominated by the Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Irindina Province. Historically, the project area is considered prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation associated with mafic and ultramafic intrusions. Vein-style REE-Th-U mineralisation has also been identified in the area as well as multiple occurrences of mica. Certain areas also identified gossans with anomalous values of Au and Cu. In the first reporting period, the work conducted involved a comprehensive literature review, evaluation of previous exploration data and information from open-source GIS databases.
