1. ABSTRACT & INTRODUCTION

This report details all the exploration within EL27877, EL27878 and EL27879 which constitutes

the Daly Waters Project, for the second annual period ending 16 September 2012. The licences

are held by Natural Resources Exploration Pty Ltd and the target commodities are base metals,

diamonds, and phosphate. The dominant activity was the drilling of a 317.2m diamond cored

hole with associated downhole geophysics, measurements and sampling. This drilling was in

collaboration with the Northern territory Government. The drill hole was completed to test

the stratigraphy over the Daly Water Arch structural feature as no exploration has been

previously undertaken within EL27878 area, and the only historical drilling are water bores

with limited available data.

The single drillhole has confirmed the stratigraphy in an area and shown the Proterozoic rocks

to be at around 139 metres depth at this location. Further work is required but initial

observations are they are Proterozoic McArthur Group equivalents. Evidence of sulphide has

been observed including chalcopyrite. Geophysics has shown the region is suitable for electrical

based exploration and a potential target has been generated.

Nine heave mineral surface samples (total 144.77 kg) were also collected and processed during

the reporting period for diamond exploration. The diamond exploration samples were negative

for kimberlite indicators but the extreme wide spacing make this limited sampling inconclusive

at this stage.

2. TENEMENT AND LOCATION The Daly Waters Project consisting of EL27877, EL27878 and EL27879 is located in the central

north of the Northern Territory, approximately 500 kilometres southeast of Darwin. The

township of Daly Waters is situated within an excised portion of the EL27878. EL27905 was

formerly part of the project, but this licence was surrendered effective 21 August 2012. As a

separate Final Report (Munro, 2012) has been lodged activity within this licence is not discussed

further. Full details on the licences are in Table 1. Approved for Annual Group Technical

Reporting has been granted by the Department. All coordinates and maps in this report are

shown in GDA94, Zone 53 datum.

The Stuart, Buchanan and Carpentaria Highways intersect the project area and numerous minor

roads and unpaved tracks cross the tenures. The southern EL27079 is on the eastern side of the

Daly Waters SE53-01 1:250,000 map sheet. EL27878 covers the corners of Hodgson Downs

(SD53-14), Tanumbirini (SE53-02), Larrimah (SD53-13) and Daly Waters (SE53-01) 1:250,000 map

sheets. The eastern licence EL27877 crosses the southern boundary of Hodgson Downs

(SD53-14) and the northern boundary of the Tanumbirini (SE53-02) map sheets (Figure 1).

3. GEOLOGY

The Daly Waters Project tenements are located in the central region of the Mesozoic Dunmarra

Basin, an un-metamorphosed intracratonic basin unconformably part of the Neoproterozoic-

Palaeozoic overlying the Georgina, Wiso and Daly Basins and Palaeoproterozoic-

Mesoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the McArthur Basin. The Dunmarra Basin is largely

unmetamorphosed and attains a maximum thickness of ~100 meters. No mineral occurrences

are known but potential is thought to exist for diamondiferous kimberlite pipes, phosphates,

base metals and uranium.

Page 6: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

The surface geology consists mainly of poorly exposed Tertiary sands and Cretaceous Mullaman

Beds. The last published regional geological overview of the area was in 1969 (Brown, 1969)

4. PREVIOUS FIRST YEAR PERIOD EXPLORATION Main activity during the first annual period was the evaluation of historical exploration activity

and analysis of historical water hole drill chip samples.

4.1 REVIEW OF HISTORICAL EXPLORATION

An extensive review of historic exploration over its Daly Waters Project was conducted. The

earliest exploration on record dates back to 1971 by Comalco which explored for bauxite. Much

of the exploration since this time was for diamonds with a number of companies such as CRA

Exploration Limited, AOG Minerals, Ashton Mining Ltd, De Beers Australia Exploration,

Diamond Mines Australia and Aberfoyle Exploration. A full listing of the available open file

reports as provided in the First Annual Report (Devencorn, 2011).

Significantly no mineral exploration drilling has been completed within current exploration

licenses. Surface sampling for diamonds is restricted to the eastern part of current EL27877 by

Stockdale Prospecting Ltd, CRA Exploration Pty Ltd and Ashton Mining Ltd. A few chromites

were reported but as not microprobe data is available for the grains it is not possible to

speculate on their significance.

The main area of the current licenses has not been sampled at all possibly due to perceived thick

cover (Carpentaria Basin). But the amount of cover is depends on age of the sediments and age

of kimberlite. The kimberlite will be at the depth corresponding to is age in the local

stratigraphic column.

4.2 HISTORICAL WATER BORE CHIP SAMPLING

Selected historical water bore chip samples stored at the Northern Territory Geological Survey

were assayed for a range of metals. A total of thirty water bore chip samples were examined

from the current license area and anomalous levels of zinc, copper, lead and arsenic were

observed. Full details are in First Annual Report (Devencorn, 2011).

4.3 RECONNAISSANCE SITE VISIT

In August 2011 NRE conducted an initial site visit and reconnaissance program around

EL27878, Kalala. Meetings with the landowners were conducted and proposed drill hole

locations were ground inspected to assess their geological and accessibility conditions. NRE

further discussed all foreseen future drill holes with the landowners and the proposed access

to those drill holes along fence lines and existing tracks

smaller ones are microdiamonds, the small orange diamonds are chromites, red circles are

pyrope, and small grey squares are negative samples. Standard 1:100,000 map sheets are

shown.

5. CURRENT PERIOD EXPLORATION

5.1 STRATIGRAPHIC DIAMOND CORE DRILLING

An application was successful for a Drilling Collaboration in respect of EL27878 with the

Northern Territory Government. Under this program, NRE designed three stratigraphic holes

to be drilled. Due to time and budget constraints, only one drill hole NDW12-01 was completed.

The single drill hole was completed by Drillwise Pty Ltd based in Gibson, WA. The initial drill rig

was track mounted, but as this rig was not satisfactory this was replaced with a truck mounted rig

at 210.6m without pulling the rods. The hole was commenced on the 16 May 2012 and the

total depth reached on 7 June 2012 at which point the hole was abandoned. Two crews

worked double shifts over most of the period. The rig was released on the 12 June are failed

attempts to recover the drill rods, and after lowering the polypipe for the geophysics survey.

The hole NDW12-01 was rock rolled to competent ground at 1.4m. No sample was recovered

from this interval. The remaining entire hole from 1.4 to total depth 317.2m was HQ diamond

cored. Drilling was considered exceptionally challenging due to a number of different ground

conditions. A large number of days were lost due to mechanical issues. The core was halved on

Page 8: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

site using a diamond saw.

Figure 4. Magnetic Susceptibility down hole.

The location of the hole collar was determined by a Garmin GPSmap 76cs handheld G P S set to

Averaging Mode (one second reading interval) over a 6 hours duration. Location determined

was; Easting (GDA94) 327,000mE; Northing (GDA94) 8,204,914mN; Elevation 210m; UTM Zone

53

The estimated accuracy of the hole collar is within one metre horizontal. A steel plate placed

over the buried collar would enable the collar to be located again with metal detector if

required. Location is shown in Figure 1 and details in Appendix 1.

5.1.1 Downhole Orientation Survey

The orientation of the drillhole was surveyed ever 50 metres down the hole with a Multishot

camera. Overall the hole was very straight and vertical. All magnetic intensity readings by the

survey probe (except the last reading at 300m depth) showed excellent correlation with

expected magnetic field strength (~48000nT) indicating little disturbance to magnetic azimuth.

As the final dip angle was only 0.9 degree from vertical at 300 metres, any slight disturbance of

the azimuth at this depth is not considered significant. See Appendix 2.

Page 9: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

5.1.2 Palynological sampling

One s a m p l e from the drilling have been submitted for palynological examination to L.

Stoian from the Geological Survey of South Australia. The sample was from a thin (~1cm) mafic

clay unit (see Figure 3) at 38.4m depth, just above the unconformity with the underlying

limestone.

Figure 3. Thin band of black mudstone (~38.3m) just above dated sample. Scale in cm, top is

up.

The sample is not rich in pollen, spore or dinoflagellate cysts, with only a few taxa counted.

Modern and recent pollen grains were identified including Eucalypthus spathulatha, Casuarina

and Malvacipollis spp. Wood cuticles and phytoliths are present in moderate

frequencies. Marine microplankton include dinoflagellate cysts: Tectatodinium spp.,

Ataxiodinium confusum, Hystrichokolpoma rigaudiae, Apteodinium spp. The majority of the

dinoflagellate cysts are of Neogene age, more likely Late Miocene -Early Pliocene. The unit is

likely to be deposited under neritic marine conditions.

The support of Liliana Stoian, and the Geological Survey of South Australia, Resources and

Energy Group, DMITRE, is appreciated with this work.

5.1.3 Magnetic Susceptibility

The magnetic susceptibility was measured at approximately one metre intervals on

competent sections of the core. The instrument used was a Terraplus KT-10

Magnetic Susceptibility Meter set for HQ core diameter automatic correction. Sensitivity of

this instrument is 0.001x10-3 SI Units. Three readings were recorded on each core piece and the

average determined. All data is provided in Appendix 5. Figure 4 shows the average magnetic

susceptibility down the entire hole.

Page 10: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

5.1.4 Petrographic description

Four initial samples were dispatched to consulting petrologist Dr B.J. Barron in Sydney for

detailed descriptions. The small fragments of half core were collected from various intervals to

confirm lithology. The full report is provided in Appendix 9

Two samples were from the limestone formation (138.38m and 134.32m). The first had a with

a mottled texture, the other with fine vugs. Both were confirmed as calcite rich limestone

sediments with little preserved texture. Two samples from the Proterozoic possible McArthur

Group equivalents were examined. At 230.5m the lithology is mudstone, possible lacustrine, and

262.0m depth is finely laminated claystone with possible fossil burrows.

5.1.5 Relative Density

The Relative Density (related to water) was determined on site at around one metre intervals

on suitable competent pieces of whole core. The method employed involved weighing the

core sample on a piece of wire in air, then submerged in water. The scale used was a generic

fishing digital scale of unknown accuracy (likely error could be up to 50g).

mm.

5.1.6 XRF drill core analysis

XRF multi-element analysis was conducted using a Delta X Premium Hand-held XRF (HHXRF)

with Rh anode and 30mm2 Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) over the entire length of hole at

regular intervals. The HHXRF was set to 3 Beam in Soil Mode with capture time of 60 seconds

per beam for a total of 180 seconds analysis time per sample. Measurements were taken

approximately every 1m from start of core (1.4m) to a depth of 12m, then every 5m interval

from 15m depth to end of hole (317.18m). Samples were selected and analyzed directly in the

metal core trays after previously cleaning with water.

Page 11: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

XRF analysis was also completed on two sulphide coatings visible along fractures, confirming

one was pyrite and the other chalcopyrite. All data is provided in Appendix 8.

5.1.7 Drill Site Rehabilitation

Following completion of the downhole geophysics the polypipe within the hole was cut around

40cm below surface, sealed, and a thick metal cap placed on top. Soil was then placed back in

the hole over the metal cap. The sumps were then back filled and the original soil spread and

leveled over the site. Figure 6 shows the rehabilitation job completed using equipment and

personnel from Kalala Station.

Figure 6. Rehabilitated drillhole site NDW12-01. Drill sumps were on the right.

5.2 DOWNHOLE GEOPHYSICS

It was anticipated that both downhole TEM and IP dipole-dipole array would be completed to

the full depth of the drillhole. Due to a stuck drill rod string and the caved material above

blocking the hole, only the top half the hole was available for the TEM survey and as the hole

was dry and lined with PVC pipe no IP dipole-dipole could be completed. Full specifications

are provided in the Appendix 10 and interpretation in Appendix 11. The digital data has

previously been submitted (29 June 2012) as part of 'Drilling Collaboration Report Daly Waters

Project' report.

Page 12: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

5.2.1 Downhole Transient Electromagnetic Survey

Downhole TEM survey using double 200m square loop centre over the hole, and the TEM sensor

lowered from 2 metres to 152 metres with readings every 5 metres. In conjunction two 200

square loops conventional TEM was completed to compare with and supplement the down

hole TEM.

5.2.2 Downhole Induced Polarisation Survey

Due to the stuck drill rod string down the hole, and the caving collapse of material above the

string the only practical IP survey that could be completed was a Mise a la Masse style survey.

A total of 77 stations were recorded on the surface over an area 400 metres east-west and

160 metres north-south at 40 metre intervals centred over the hole. The in-hole excitation

point was at 156 metres within hole NDW12-01.

5.3 DIAMOND EXPLORATION SAMPLING

During May-June 2011 the diamond exploration activity included surface loam deflation scraps

and stream sediment sampling for heavy mineral kimberlite indicator minerals (Figure 2).

5.3.1 Diamond Indicator Surface sampling

A total of nine (9) samples (144.77 kg total) were collected across the licences. Seven samples

were stream and two were loam sample scapes. These samples were sent to Diatech Heavy

Mineral Services in Perth. One sample, DW12-05 was lost in transit and not included. The

samples are all one standard bag each (around 10L), of minus 1.0 mm material screened on site.

Full sample details, including location coordinates, are provided in Appendix 12. Locations

were determined by handheld Garmin MapGPS 76cs GPS set in averaging mode during the

entire sampling collection time (around half an hour). All of the surface sampling activities

completed have been very low impact and only little rehabilitation at the time of collection has

been required. All stream samples were collected from un-cemented basal sediments in

natural trap sites within the active part of the current drainage. No disturbance to any rock

formations were required.

After the initial DMS concentration at Nagrom (Appendix 13) the concentrates were subject to

further TBE concentration and magnetic separation at Diatech before final visual observation.

Full details on the sample processing and results are provided in Appendix 13 and 14. No

kimberlitic or diamond indicators were observed. A number of grains were selected for

microprobe to confirm their mineralogy and all are not of further interest.

Trace gahnite (zinc spinel) was recovered with DW12-01 just south of Daly Waters, and a few

grains further to the south into EL27879. The number of gahnite grains recovered is decreasing

to the south. No gahnite was recovered in the northeast area of the project (EL27877)

Page 13: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

5.3.2 Grain Microprobe Analyses

The selected indicator grains from Diatech were sent to Microbeam Services in Melbourne for

standard microprobe analyses. The grains were mounted in a round epoxy block which is then

grinded in diamond paste till the equatorial section of each grain is exposed and highly polished.

The core of the 27 selected grains were analysed using a Cameca SX50 Electron Microprobe

with four vertical Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometers (WDS). The electron beam accelerating

voltage was 15kV, and beam current 35/25nA. Counting times for all elements is 20 seconds

peak, and with 10 seconds on two backgrounds on either side of the peak position. Detection

limits for all elements better than 0.05 elemental weight percent except for Zn which is 0.09

elemental weight percent.

A lot of the grains were weathered and porous which hindered the quality of the analyses.

Grains identified as garnets were almandine, with minor pyrope components. The single garnet

from sample DW12-01 also had minor (15.6%) gossular component. Other grains were

confirmed as corundum, clinopyroxene and maybe amphibole, all of no further interest to

diamond exploration. The 14 gahnite grains were consistent in their chemistry with average

31.7% ZnO and 56.3% Al2O3 and 3.4% MgO. Full details are contained within Appendix 15.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In an area with little previous drilling the single drill hole has provided valuable information on

the stratigraphy and has shown the Proterozoic rocks to be at around 139 metres depth.

Further work is required but initial observations are the Proterozoic are McArthur Group

equivalents. Evidence of sulphide has been observed including chalcopyrite. The palynological

studies of the sediments that overlie limestone show that they are not from the Carpentaria

Basin (Jurassic- Cetaceous) as expected as the examination indicates a late Miocene-Early

Pliocene age. The anticipated Antrium Plateau Volcanics were not intersected above the

Proterozoic

The sequence intersected would appear transparent in a magnetic survey with no significant

magnetic units measured. The weak magnetic susceptibility readings do have a high correlation

with the observed lithology.

Geological study of the drillhole shows that pyrite was observed within the McArthur sediments

(Figure 5), as well in the Tindell Limestone near the base. A thin film of chalcopyrite was

confirmed at 260.4 metres along a fracture plane. It is significant these were along factures as

this implies mobilisation of sulphides. Minor pyrite was seen along some of the bedding planes

with within the dark grey McAthur sediments.

The hole intersected shallow marine fine sands to clay sediments of likely Late Miocene -Early

Pliocene age to 38.8 metres, overlying Devonian limestone. This limestone unconformably

overlies shallow dipping likely McArthur Basin shales with contact at 139.2 metres depth.

Page 14: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

The TEM results did not detect large conducting and chargeable mineralised bodies either

intersecting or as near misses to the drill hole NDW12-01 above an estimated 150 metres depth.

The results also indicated that the shallow part of sediments surveyed at NDW12-01 is

essentially transparent to the type of electromagnetic signals used in mineral exploration. Also,

importantly, there is an absence of the often troublesome 'conductive overburden'

experienced elsewhere in Australia. If these conditions are widespread in this area of the

Carpentaria Basin, the TEM method is practical for large scale surveys seeking to explore

beneath these sediments to look in the basement for electrically detectable ore-bodies like for

instance HYC and Tennant Creek. Such surveys would use a heavy duty system with large loops

energised by high currents and with longer recording times.

The Induced Polarisation results recorded Self potential Apparent Chargeability and Potential

values (similar to Apparent Resistivity) anomalies around the drill hole NDW12-01. The SP

anomalies appear sinuous reminiscent of channels and it is believed that these are caused by

variations in the relatively shallow sediments, probably the top 50 metres. A locus of high

values 80 metres east of the drill hole warrant follow up.

The source of the Apparent Chargeability and Potential values anomalies are typical of a large

disseminated sulphide body. The depth is approximately 150 metres plus. These anomalies

warrant further investigation including drilling.

Because operational matters prevented direct access to the deeper sulphides intersected

by the drill hole NDW12-01, the direct characteristics of these remain untested by the downhole

IP method. If exploration continues in this locality, the sources of the deep and shallow IP

anomalies should be followed up.

To focus drilling for ore-bodies in this area, consideration is being to gravity traversing across

the Daly Waters Arch and airborne magnetic surveying over the tenements, to pin down the

basement depth and structural morphology in more detail.

Daly Waters Report 2012

Hole ID: NDW12-01

Diamond Drilling Program commence on Wednesday 16th May 2012

0-50 Metres

• Rock Rolled to competent ground at 1.4m

• Drilled soft broken ground

• Silting problems started to occur around 35m

• Lost water return around 46m (tried to condition hole but only lasted a couple metres)

50-100 Metres

• Ground started to pressurized through the loss of water and returning further up the

rod string

• Rods kept locking up in this zone • Ream HWT down to 51m to stop zone from caving in and pressurizing, whilst

reaming there was now a cavity from 29m to 41m. This cavity was not there whilst drilling

HQ

• Hole was completely dry thus constantly pulling rods out to grease due to rod chatter

in a dry hole

• Drilled broken with clay zones through out

• Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

100-150 Metres

• Hole was still dry at this stage thus the constant need to pull out and grease rod string

but grease was being wiped away by wall in a matter of hours

• Constant change in ground condition from broken ground to clay and mud zones

• Drilled swelling Clay zones and rods keep locking up

• Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

150-200 Metres

• Drilled very broken ground and large patches of swelling clay zones causing heaps of

dramas with core loss and drop core in barrel and down hole thus changed over to HQ3 to

eliminate problems

• Drilled mud stone and didn‟t like any weight on this zone as it will suffocate bit face

and cause very short runs.

• Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

• Hole was still dry at this stage thus the constant need to pull out and grease rod string

but grease was being wiped away by wall in a matter of hours

Page 22: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

200-250 Metres

• Drilled mud stone and didn‟t like any weight on this zone as it will suffocate bit face and cause very short runs, core kept dropping into barrel and in hole

• Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

• Hole was still dry at this stage thus the constant need to pull out and grease rod string

but grease was being wiped away by wall in a matter of hours

250-300 Metres

• Hole was silting up and tried constantly to condition hole but kept re occurring

• Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

• Hole was still dry at this stage thus the constant need to pull out and grease rod string

but grease was being wiped away by wall in a matter of hours

• Hole started to cave in

• Unable to put weight on drill string as it would still just plug off upon anything more

than free spin and bog in

300- 310.4 Metres E.O.H

• Hole caving in from above causing silting problems, High Torque and rods bogging

in the hole

• Due to high torque and Bogging from cave-in, Rods keep separating

Strong possibility that the complete rod string will be a right off (approx $40,000 plus transport) Each rod to be tested at end of job. • Constantly waiting on water as bore was inadequate to service our need to condition

and drill due to no water return

• Hole was still dry at this stage thus the constant need to pull out and grease rod string

but grease was being wiped away by wall in a matter of hours

Note: Waiting on water was the biggest unproductive time spent throughout this program

causing anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hour delays every day thus un-enabling us to successfully

condition and flush hole out effectively.

The major cavity that occurred after drilling HQ was at 29 – 41 metres (12) was a major

factor prior to casing that section of. This has occurred in various other sections in the hole to

cause all the constant silting and cave in throughout the program.

Exceptionally challenging drilling

Palynological analysis and dating of one sample from stratigraphic drillhole

NDW12‐001, Daly Waters, Northen Territory

Author: Liliana M Stoian

One sample from NDW12‐001 stratigraphic drillhole, Daly Waters, has been submitted to Liliana Stoian, Senior Geoscientist, Geological Survey of South Australia for palynological analysis and dating.

The sample was collected by Steven Cooper, depth 38.5 to 38.6m, and represents a black clay layer sitting above an unconformity with underlying limestone, possible Devonian age. Sample size for palynological analysis is about 20‐30g.

Traditional palynological methods were employed including digesting in HCl and HF acids followed by heavy liquid separation (SPT – sodium polytungstate liquit at density 2). No much separation was observed after heavy liquid and all organic material was mounted on a slide using Eukit media. Palynomorph identification was undertaken by the author using a Zeiss Photomicroscope III.

Results

Fossil pollen of Malvacipollis diversus, Haloragacidites harrisii (Casuarina type) and Eucalyptus spathulata are present in very low frequencies. No other pollen grains were present. The palynofloras are difficult to correlate with any palynofloral zones developed in Australia due to lack of any key taxa and species diversity. Pollen of Eucalyptus spathulatha could come from modern eucalyptus species.

Marine microplankton is well represented and include the following taxa: Ataxiodinium confusum, Hystrichokolpoma rigaudiae, Tectatodinium pellitum, Bitectatodinium tepikiense, Apteodinium spp. Similar dinoflagellate cysts are known elsewhere from Neogene and Quaternary and their presence in the sample is associated with a marine event. Species of Bitectatodinium tepikiense and Tectatodinium pellitum are indicators of neritic to oceanic environment.

Sample also contain small amount of grass phytoliths (trapezoid, bilobate and fan shapes). Phytoliths are biogenic silica produced by many plants, very resistant to weathering and preserved in modern soil as well as in older sediments.

The sample does not contain any reworked palynomorphs.

Based on dinoflagellate cysts assemblages and correlation with similar assemblages found elsewhere, the sample is likely to be dated Late Miocene – Early Pliocene.

Detailed petrological examination of four drill core samples

from a stratigraphic drill hole near Daly Waters NT.

Report No: N11/12/1708 29 July, 2012

For: NRE Operations Pty Ltd

Sample No. NDW12-01 138.38m

Rock Type Deposit of (?hydrothermal) carbonate (mainly calcite)

comprising poorly defined subparallel layers of undeformed

partly clouded crystals of variable grain size. Accessory

pyrite is present.

Hand Specimen A compact (non-friable) fine grained mid grey (-brown) drill

core sample containing some moderately coarse grains that are well cleaved. The

sample is spongy containing 10% to 20% of small voids. In some domains these occur

in subparallel narrow layers. The sample reacts strongly with cold dilute HCl indicating

abundant calcite.

Thin Section This sample is a deposit of undeformed (?hydrothermal)

carbonate (mainly calcite – see reaction with cold dilute HCl above). The rock is almost

monomineralic and comprises poorly defined subparallel layers of partly clouded

crystals with a variable grain size from less than 0.2 mm (fine sand size) up to crystals

that are optically continuous and more than 4 mm long. An average grain size is about 1

mm.

The carbonate grains mainly have irregular shapes and are

mutually interlocking. The rock contains about 20% of small voids, many of which

show subhedral projections of calcite crystals into the voids. Some carbonate crystals

may comprise two types of carbonate, since coarse host crystals contain abundant

inclusions of a fine grained ?second carbonate with subhedral rhombic shapes

suggesting ?dolomite (or ankerite etc.).

In some elongate interstitial domains are patches of pale

brown, strongly clouded carbonate that could represent an iron-bearing carbonate. This

carbonate is present only in accessory proportions.

The rock is cut by numerous very narrow (less than 0.2 mm

across), subparallel but branching veinlets of late carbonate that is clear of dusty

inclusions. These carbonate veinlets are subparallel to the poorly defined layering.

Small spongy and irregular opaque deposits (rarely more

than 1 cm long) also are accessory. Examination in reflected light suggests they are

possibly ?pyrite. Some penetrate along branching mutual grain boundaries and fractures

in the carbonate.

This sample may be identified as a deposit of

(?hydrothermal) carbonate (mainly calcite) comprising poorly defined subparallel layers

of undeformed partly clouded crystals of variable grain size. Accessory pyrite is present.

Sample No. NDW12-01 134.32m

Rock Type Extremely fine grained calcite-rich ?calcrete containing

poorly defined irregular outlines of angular lithic fragments.

It most likely represents a deposit of exceptionally fine

grained, reworked (?aeolian) and recrystallised microfossil

clasts.

HandSpecimen A compact (non-friable) fine grained, mottled pale grey and

very pale grey sample, in which pale grey material could represent ?irregular fragments.

Some of the latter could contain very fine sand sized ?clasts. Both fractions react very

strongly with cold dilute HCl indicating calcite.

Thin Section This sample has undertone intense, extremely fine grained

alteration to almost monomineralic carbonate. The carbonate is calcite (see strong

reaction with cold dilute HCl above), which has an average grain size of about 0.03 mm.

Nevertheless, there are poorly preserved outlines of possible lithic fragments that have a

variable size, and reflect those defined in the hand specimen. The largest of these in the

present section reaches nearly 4 mm long.

Although the fragments are now exceptionally fine grained

calcite, they also contain irregularly disseminated, very fine grained (rarely more than

0.02 mm) translucent to near opaque granules that partly define abundant rounded and

cuspate small shapes (mainly less than 0.05 mm) that could represent broken

?microfossil remains.

The rock contains small patches (mainly less than 1 mm

across) of poorly crystallised subradial chalcedony. Some patches are intergrown with

minor cherty quartz. Most are also intergrown with small patches of fine grained

carbonate. Sparse voids and veinlets are partly coated with translucent red-brown

hematite and are partly filled with coarser grained granular carbonate. This reaches 0.6

mm grain size in the present section.

This sample most likely represents a deposit of exceptionally

fine grained, reworked (?aeolian) and recrystallised microfossil clasts and may be

identified as extremely fine grained calcite-rich calcrete containing poorly defined

irregular outlines of angular lithic fragments.

Sample No. NDW12-01 230.5m

Rock Type Exceptionally fine grained claystone deposit with

compaction layering. Dusty oxides once could have been

iron-bearing carbonate. It is most likely a shallow lake

deposit.

Hand Specimen A friable, mid red-brown ?hematite-rich finely laminated

sample, containing sparsely disseminated small pale grey spots. These are less than 1

mm diameter. The sample lacks reaction with cold dilute HCl and therefore lacks

calcite. The sample is not magnetic.

Thin Section This sample is a deposit of finely laminated ?compaction

foliated claystone that is crowded with small opaque ?oxide granules and partly stained

by red-brown hematite dust. It comprises almost equally abundant lensed narrow

domains, some of which have irregular shapes and reach more than 5 mm long but only

0.5 mm thick, of very fine grained low birefringent clay ± birefringent ?smectite clay

that is little-stained by patchy red-brown hematite. The elongate lensed domains are set

in host rock that is also clay-rich (possibly mainly smectite clay), stained by red-brown

hematite dust. The latter contain relatively more abundant opaque granules.

Also present are sparse elongate „spots‟ of clouded

birefringent clay, some of which have subhedral shapes and may replace crystal sites.

These domains also contain relatively few opaque granules compared with the host

rock.

The sample contains sparse subhedral opaque ?oxide crystal

sites up to about 0.2 mm that account for about 3% to 5% of the present section area.

Very rare small angular grains (mainly less than 0.06 mm grain size) are quartz. These

are present only in one domain and may be secondary.

This rock lacks recognisable relict texture but is not a normal

sediment. It could represent an exceptionally fine grained claystone deposit with

compaction layering. Dusty oxides once could have been iron-bearing carbonate. It is

most likely a shallow lake deposit.

Sample No. NDW12-01 262m

Rock Type Fine grained, very finely laminated sparsely silty claystone.

The sample contains a structure interpreted as a micro-

?worm burrow.

Hand Specimen A fine grained, very finely laminated mid-grey, fairly

compact (not friable) drill core sample, containing visible small reflective ?detrital mica

flakes parallel to layering (?bedding).

ThinSection Unlike the previous sample, the present rock retains a clear

clastic sedimentary texture and is sparsely silty claystone.

Silt sized (<0.05mm) detritus is angular and dominated by

thin mica flakes, a few of which are bent and deformed. Angular quartz is slightly

subordinate. The detritus accounts for less than 10% of the present section area, and has

a somewhat patchy distribution.

Mica flakes are strictly parallel to a compaction foliation and

mainly are less than 0.15 mm long but less than 0.01 mm thick. They are dominated by

birefringent ?„sericite‟ and few are pale brown to almost colourless pleochroic micas

that are most likely degraded biotite. Also present are sparse similar sized thin

carbonaceous flakes.

The micas account for about 5% to 7% of the section area.

Accessory detritus comprises mid green tourmaline, small green chlorite flakes, apatite,

zircon and small opaque oxide grains.

The recognisable fine grained detritus is set throughout an

abundant rock matrix of very fine grained wispy birefringent ?‟illite-smectite‟ clay,

wispy flakes of which rarely exceed 0.03 mm long. The abundant flakes define a

?compaction foliation direction and are subparallel to the larger wispy detrital mica

flakes.

A disrupted irregular domain more than 3 mm long and up to

0.5 mm across, is oriented normal to the layering. This could represent a micro- ?worm

burrow. Several of these structures are present.

This sample may be identified as fine grained, very finely

laminated sparsely silty claystone. The sample contains a structure interpreted as a

micro- ?worm burrow.

1. SUMMARY

In May and June 2012, Zonge Engineering and Research Organization (Zonge) mobilised

a two-person geophysical field crew to the Daly Waters Prospect in the Northern Territory

to conduct Down-Hole Induced Polarisation (DHIP) and Down-Hole ElectroMagnetic

(DHEM) surveys for NRE Operations.

The crew initially mobilised on the 25th

of May however due to drilling on hole NDW12-

01 not being completed the crew demobilised on the 30th

of May back to Adelaide. The

crew re-mobilised on the 10th

of June and completed DHEM, Mise-a-la-masse (MALM)

and coincident loop EM surveying before final demobilisation on the 16th

of June. Much

of the DHEM and all of the DHIP surveying planned could not be performed due to the

hole being blocked by abandoned drill string at approximately 156m from surface.

Survey planning and interpretation of data was performed by David Tucker of Gawler

Geoscience.

Data quality and repeatability were monitored throughout the course of the survey which

ensured that the best possible data were acquired given local conditions and time

constraints.

2. INSTRUMENTATION and SURVEY PARAMETERS

A Zonge multipurpose GDP-32II

receiver was used to take all of the MALM data for this

project. MALM data were recorded in pole-pole mode using non-polarisable porous pots

filled with copper sulphate as receiver electrodes. Data were acquired in time domain at a

frequency of 0.125hz allowing acquisition of potential voltage (Vp), self-potential (SP)

and chargeability (Mx).

MALM transmitted fields were generated with a Zonge ZT-30 geophysical transmitter

connected to electrodes on the surface some distance from the hole and the second placed

down the hole at approximately 156m from surface. Synchronisation was controlled via a

Zonge XMT-32 transmitter controller.

An EMIT Smartem V receiver and controller were used to acquire data and control the

Zonge ZT-30 transmitter respectively for the DHEM and EM sounding acquisition. For

DHEM acquisition a Geonics BH43-3D coil probe was used with data recorded on each

X, Y and Z components at a frequency of 2.083 Hz. Readings were taken at 5 metre

intervals between 2-152 metres from surface. Source fields were produced using a 2-turn

200x200 metre transmitter loop. Coincident loop EM soundings were acquired at two locations separated by 200 metres

near NDW12-01. Readings were taken using a 1.25 Hz frequency using a single turn 200

metre transmitter and receiver loop.

The raw data from each day was downloaded every evening from the receiver's internal

memory to a laptop computer before being sent to Zonge‟s Adelaide office. Final

processing, plotting and modelling were completed in Zonge's Adelaide office.

3. PRODUCTION ISSUES

Substantial delays occurred during the survey due to delays in the completion and casing

of the hole, during this time the crew were on standby. The planned down-hole surveying

was only possible to a limited degree due to the reduced access resulting from the stuck

drill string from 156 metres and below.

As a result of the limited opportunity for down-hole surveying alternative techniques to

better utilise the hole and understand subsurface electrical structure were performed.

No safety related incidents occurred during completion of the survey. Detailed information on daily production may be found on the accompanying disc under

"Production Reports". Additional information about safety issues may be found on the

same disc under "Safety _Documentation".

4. PRODUCTION SUMMARY

Appendix I provides a Summary of the Production of Job 967. More detailed information

on daily production may be found on the accompanying disc under "Production Reports".

5. DATA PROCESSING

The quality of each block of raw DHEM, MALM and MLEM data was examined before

being averaged to create a single record for each receiving station. Data points that were

considered of poor quality were skipped before averaging each station‟s data.

DHEM data were edited and reviewed using EMIT‟s Agent99 software before primary

field rotations to produce rotation corrected A, U and V components for output. Resulting

rotated A, U, V data are presented in Apendix II where both log and linear signal

magnitude scales are presented. A single resistivity sounding inversion model of vertical

component (A/Z) coil data was performed on data acquired at 2m below surface in

NDW12-01 as a proxy surface in-loop reading. It should be noted however that the

proximity of the 4x4 vehicle and winch used in surveying may have had an undesired

effect on this sounding and resulting modelled resistivities.

Mise-a-la-masse data were edited as per above and imported into an excel spreadsheet

(NDW12-MALM.xlsx) within which the apparent resistivities were calculated. Apparent

resistivity calculations were performed assuming a point source at 156 metres down-hole,

the coordinates of the remote transmitter and receiver electrodes were taken into account

in the apparent resistivity calculations. The location of the remote transmitter and receiver

electrodes are recorded in the 967_MALM.stn file accompanying this report.

Chargeability values are “Newmont Chargeability” values recorded by the GDP receiver

and reflect an integration of decay window magnitudes over the 450-1100ms after

transmitter turnoff. Potential voltage and self potential values as plotted in Appendix III

are averages of those recorded by the receiver.

Coincident loop EM data were reviewed using EMIT‟s Agent99 software before being

output and imported into Zonge‟s STEMINV software for 1D inversion. 1D resistivity

sounding profiles over depth are presented in Appendix IV. It is possible that the

remarkably low resistivities modelled for sounding 324350 are the result of SPM effects

commonly seen in coincident loop EM data.

All raw and processed data, location data and documents associated with this survey are

presented on the accompanying disc.

Downhole Geophysics in Drillhole NSW12-01

June 2012

1. Executive Summary A downhole geophysics program was undertaken in drillhole NDW12-01 by Zonge

Engineering Pty Ltd (Zonge) for NRE Operations Pty Ltd (NRE) from 27 May 27 to 16 June

16 2012. The geophysics program was supervised by Dr David H Tucker of Gawler

Geoscience (Geoscience).

The aim of the program was twofold:

1. To measure electrical characteristics of the geological section, and

2. To search around the hole for conductive and chargeable mineralisation.

The geophysics was undertaken within the Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program.

Table 1: Summary of geophysical methods used and interpretation.

Geophysical Method

Outcome

Interpretation

Induced Polarisation dipole-dipole array in hole (1 metre electrode spacings).

Not conducted. Open hole situation water filled situation not available (lined with PVC pipe)

n.a.

Induced Polarisation Mise-a-la- masse with excitation point downhole.

Conducted. Electrode located at

156m at bottom of PVC in available part of drillhole (sulphides recognised in drill core at approx 183 and approx 240 metres depth were not directly accessible).

A Chargeable conducting zone lies in northwest of gridded area. Not closed by survey. Source estimated to lie approx 150+ metres. Possible disseminated sulphides. Also SP indicates sinuous anomalies interpreted as shallow channels less than 50 metres deep.

TEM in hole with multiple surface loops used for excitation.

Conducted. Twin 200 m loop used: and 2m -152 m of hole successfully surveyed at 5 metre stations

Flat response. No off-hole conductors recognised. Sounding models indicate 1-D geo-electric section of: from surface Apparent Resistivities of approx 10-20 Ohm.metres, rising to approx 500

Ohm.metres at approx 140 metres depth. Then falling off with

increasing depth.

TEM remote from hole for reference purposes.

Conducted. 200m coincident loops. Two stations observed, edge on edge.

Sounding models indicate 1-D geo- electric section of: from surface Apparent Resistivities of approx 40- 50 Ohm.metres, rising to approx 160 Ohm.metres at approx 230

metres depth. Then falling off with increasing depth.

The hole was drilled with HQ rods to 317.2 metres depth by Drillwise Pty Ltd (Drillwise). A

complete HQ drill string was abandoned in the hole from approximately 167.1 metres to TD.

PVC was run for 156 metres and only this upper section was open geophysics probes.

There was a blockage to probes below this.

A Mise a la masse IP survey was conducted on a grid 400 metres East-west by 160 metres

North-south. There was no sulphide zone directly accessible, therefore an excitation

electrode for the work was located at 156 metres in NDW12-01 at the bottom of the hole as

only option. The remote current and receiver electrodes were located approximately 650

Downhole Geophysics in Drillhole NSW12-01

June 2012

metres to the South and to the North respectively. Voltage and induced polarisation

measurements were made on a grid with stations 40 metres apart.

Anomalous IP results were recorded in Self potential, Voltages, Apparent Chargeability and

are evident in Apparent Resistivity estimates calculated from the values. There are two kinds

of anomaly patterns: those detected by Self Potential are sinuous and reminiscent of

channels in sediments; those detected in Apparent Chargeability, Voltages and Apparent

Resistivity are more elliptical in character and are not closed off in the North. Both kinds

extend at least 200 metres past the drillhole and out of the surveyed area.

The depth to the sources of the sinuous anomalies is estimated at less than 50 metres.

Sources may be sulphides or more likely clays in shallow channels.

The depth to the more elliptical anomalies is estimated at 150+ meters. The geological

source of the anomalies is not known. The source is likely to be disseminated sulphides.

Both kinds should be followed up.

Downhole TEM readings were acquired at 5 metre depth intervals from 2 to 152 metres

using an energised dual 200 metre square loop centred over the drill collar.

Results indicate that the downhole TEM survey did not detect significant conducting bodies

either intersecting the drillhole, or within the reach of the excitation footprint of the 200 metre

loop. It is believed that this footprint amounts approximately to a cylinder of rock 200 metres

across and extending from the surface to 150 metres.

The abandoned drill rods which lie in the hole approximately 10-15 metres directly below the

deepest station with the TEM probe were not clearly detected, probably because of poor

coupling. Their influence appears to be weak.

The implication for exploration of the TEM results available from this survey is that bothe IP

and TEM electrical geophysics methods could be useful for deep exploration for conductive

ore-bodies in this area. For this purpose, large loops and high current strengths and large

dipoles and high currents should be considered.

Downhole Geophysics in Drillhole NSW12-01

June 2012

2. Introduction A downhole geophysics program was undertaken in drillhole NDW12-01 by Zonge

Engineering Pty Ltd (Zonge) for NRE Operations Pty Ltd (NRE) from 27 May to 16 June

2012. The geophysics program was supervised by Dr David H Tucker of Gawler Geoscience

(Geoscience).

The aim of the geophysics program was twofold:

1. To measure electrical characteristics of the geological section encountered in the

hole, and

2. To search around the hole for conductive and chargeable mineralisation.

The geophysics was undertaken within the Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program.

This logistics of the field operations is illustrated in this report by pictures taken in the field by

the author. Various diagrams produced by the author and by Zonge are included to present

the results and interpretation. A location map is shown as Figure 2 below.

3. Drillhole Characteristics Drillhole NDW12-01 is located in EL27878 approx 10km Northwest of Daly Waters at

coordinates shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Drillhole NDW12-01 Location.

Drillhole East_WGS84 North_WGS84 Elevation_m UTM_Zone Depth_m Dip_angle

NDW12-01 327,000 8204914 210 53 317.2 -90

The hole was drilled with HQ rods to a surveyed total depth (TD) of 317.2 metres. Of this,

approximately 156 metres was open and available for geophysics. Below that, the hole was

not accessible due to an intervening blockage, likely comprised of collapsed rock and mud.

A schematic of the situation is shown in Table 3.

To prevent collapse, the top 156 metres was lined with 48mm internal diameter PVC pipe

opened at the bottom. The installation method used was to glue and run down the six metre

long PVC pipes within the HQ drill string to the bottom of the hole. When at TD, the HQ rods

were withdrawn, leaving the PVC in situ.

Before undertaking geophysical surveys a heavy ‘dummy’ weight, approximately one meter

long, was lowered on a rope to test the characteristics of the pipe and the blockage. The

dummy would not pass beyond the bottom of the PVC and raising a few metres and

dropping a few metres did not help.

From 167.1 metres to total depth (TD) the drillhole contained a stuck string of HQ drill.

The water table was estimated by drillers to lie at approximately 140 metres below surface.

4. Regional Context The geology of the locality is recognised as Karumba Basin sediments overlying Carpentaria

Basin sediments overlying probable Georgina Basin sediments and these in turn overlying

possible McArthur Basin metasediments and/or Tennant Creek rocks (Warramunga Group).

A regional map is included as Figure 1.

There is no known on-line open file summary available of electrical characteristics of

sediments in this area and in particular there is no known geo-electric section available.

Electrical data may exist within company reports (Roger Clifton pers. comm.) but was not

pursued here.

The regional gravity for Australia, available on the AGSO website and NT website, indicates

that the drillhole is located on a regional Bouguer anomaly high anomaly. This is named the

Daly River arch. This ‘arch’ is a narrow, 10-20km wide North-south striking gravity anomaly

which extends for more than a hundred kilometres, and is of regional significance. The

anomaly morphology, and in particular its marginal gradients, is generally poorly defined by

the 11 km spaced helicopter gravity stations and rare detailed road traverses. One such road

traverse, which extends East-west along the Borraloola Highway and also the Buchanan

Highway, gives some indication. The Buchanan Highway gradient indicates a steeply dipping

density contact, probably a fault on the west side. The depth to the source of the gravity

anomalies has not been modelled and is not known.

There is only weak correspondence between aeromagnetic patterns and the North-south

gravity anomaly high, perhaps indicating that they have different sources. Several estimates

to magnetic basement made by the author (from the low quality regional aeromagnetic data

within the area of EL27878) lie in the range 300-600 metres. The dominant magnetic pattern

indicates a 30km wide suite of approximately 305 degree bearing narrow linear anomalies

through and beyond the EL27878. These responses are typical of dyke swarms intruding

faults. It is speculated they are attributable to magnetic Antrim Plateau Volcanics. Vague

pattern breaks, probably attributable to faults, strike through the EL27878 past drillhole

NDW12-01 on a strike of 020 degrees.

In conclusion, it is likely that the Daly River arch gravity anomaly is caused by a narrow sliver

of higher density basement forming a topographic high, perhaps bounded by steeply dipping

faults. An analogy with the Emu Fault and the localisation of the HYC ore body is relevant.

5. Transient Electromagnetic Survey 5.1. Equipment and layout for downhole TEM survey

The downhole TEM survey as undertaken required an energising loop to be laid out on the

surface and for readings to be taken at intervals down the drillhole. A schematic diagram of

the set up is shown in Figure 3. A set of pictures taken in the field by the author to illustrate

the work is included in this report (Figures 4 to 10).

A full description of the operational procedures and digital copy of the results are included in

Zonge’s logistics report (Mann, 2012).

An EMIT Smartem V receiver and controller were used to acquire data and control the

Zonge ZT-30 transmitter, which was supplied with power from a Honda 3 KVa generator, for

the downhole TEM acquisition.

The downhole probe was a Geonics BH43-3D coil probe with data recorded on each X, Y

and Z component a a frequency of 2.083 Hz. The system used 33 time windows from 0.14

to 141 milliseconds and these are provided in the following table (Table 4).

Table 4: Smartem V sampling windows (milliseconds).

A conventional, square, dual loop was chosen for this survey, with 200 metres per side,

oriented North-south East-west and with the hole at the geometric centre. Such a loop would

couple with a flat conductor intersecting or lying close to the hole. In operation the current

through the loop is governed by the wire resistance and the transmitter capacity and in this

instance was 0.56 amperes.

The loops were laid through light scrub, which did not require cut lines.

Readings were taken in the hole with the probe lowered in 5 metre stops, with the sensor

location of the probe starting 2 metres below surface and extending to 152 metres below

surface.

An option considered, but not adopted because the hole was not open to its full depth, and

the results did not warrant further work, was to lay out several other adjacent loops cornered

on the hole to search for extensions of any conductors away from the hole.

5.2. Results and interpretation for downhole TEM

The data obtained by the TEM downhole survey were processed by Zonge in Adelaide and

plotted profiles of these results are shown below (Figure 11).

The plot shows three sets of profiles. The ‘A’ component is axial to the hole and because the

hole is vertical, is also a vertical vector component.

The ‘U’ component and ‘V’ components are North and South vector components. These

latter components can be useful if conductive mineralisation is encountered and can give an

indication of direction of extensions to such.

The units used for the TEM results are microvolts per ampere of current flowing in the loop

and are thus normalised: the scale used in the diagram is logarithmic: horizontal units are

metres from surface, with surface at the left.

The A component shows a very smooth and essentially flat set of profiles. There are no

strong obvious anomalies as might be expected if significant conductors were present

intersecting the hole (confirming what is known from the geological logging).

On close inspection, the early time channels in the A component results show a gentle rise

in amplitude from surface to peak at approximately 35 metres depth. Below approximately

75 metres, there is a very slight and gentle rise in amplitude of all channels towards the

bottom of the set of observations. It is suspected that this may represent a response from

the drill rods.

Page 15 of 30

Page 87: YEAR 2 ANNUAL GROUP REPORT DALY WATERS PROJECT

Downhole Geophysics in Drillhole NSW12-01

June 2012

Close inspection of the U component and V component shown here shows weak inflections

at approximately 10-15 metres, 60-65 metres 100-105 metres and 110-115 metres. These

do not show corresponding anomalies in the A component. There is a weak correspondence

with geologically observed unconformities: as such, the inflections may indicate weak

conductivity changes associated with these unconformities.

Figure 11: TEM results for A, U and V components. Vertical scale units are microvolts per ampere and horizontal scale units are metres.

To illustrate the characteristics of the TEM data, decay curve plots are included here for the

33 channel sample taken at the two metre depth point, i.e. for the shallowest sample of the

drillhole and for which the geometry is best understood. Curve fits of two types are applied

where appropriate: power curve fits and time constant fits (Figures 12-15).

A one dimensional inversion was run by Zonge on this shallowest observation dataset at two

metres depth and the result is shown in Figure 16: the drillhole data were treated as a

surface observation for the purpose of comparison with moving loop values discussed

below. This approach provided a result equivalent to a depth sounding which is normally

only possible for each station of a moving loop configuration TEM survey. As such, the

drillhole result can be directly compared to moving loop data.

The smooth sounding model probably indicates a three layer case applies as indicated in the

1-D sketch above (Figure 16). The figure shows corresponding geological notes alongside.

It is noted that the estimated 20 ohm metre section to approximately 40 metres corresponds

approximately with an unconformity noted in drill core at approximately 39 metres.

Below that porous limestone was encountered in drillcore to a disconformity at approximately

140 metres which is also approximately the water table: this depth corresponds to the peak

values calculated in the resistivity model of 500 ohm metres.

Below 140 metres in the sounding model the resistivities drop off to a minimum at

approximately 400 metres.

5.3. Moving loops layout for surface TEM sounding survey

Two surface TEM soundings were taken using coincident 200 metre loops at a location

approximately 1.5 kilometres Northwest from drillhole NDW12-01 (see Figure 2).

An EMIT Smartem V receiver and controller were used to acquire data and control the

Zonge ZT-30 transmitter supplied with power from a Honda 3 KVa generator for the

downhole EM sounding acquisition.

5.4. Results and interpretation for surface TEM sounding survey

A one dimensional inversion model of apparent resistivities run on the data by Zonge is

included here (Figure 17). It indicates a three or possibly four layer model applies at this

location.

From surface to approximately 50 metres depth resistivities peak at approximately 55-60

ohm metes; from 50 metres to approximately 130 metres values drop to approximately 40-55

6. Induced Polarisation survey 6.1. Equipment and layout

To investigate the Apparent Resistivity and Chargeability characteristics of the geological

section in this drillhole, and in particular of the intersections of sulphides encountered at 183

and 240 metres, it was planned to run an Induced Polarisation survey using a small dipole-

dipole array (one metre ‘a’ spacing and ‘n=1’). Such a survey requires a water-filled open

hole. Because the available hole was not water-filled, this option was not possible to

implement.

A secondary plan, to run a Mise a la Masse style of survey (Mudge, 2004: Hauck, 1970) to

test for possible extensions of any significant sulphides encountered and identify any ‘near

misses’, was finally run in modified form. The survey layout is indicated in Figure 2 in the

Introduction. The layout at the drillhole is shown in Figure 18. Operational pictures taken by

the author are included as Figures 19 to 23.

The equipment used included a Zonge multipurpose GDP-3211 receiver recorded in pole-

pole mode using non polarisable porous pots filled with copper sulphate as receiver

electrodes. Data were acquired in time domain at a frequency of 0.125hz allowing

acquisition of potential voltage 9Vp), self-potential (SP) and chargeability (Mx).

Transmitted fields were generated with a Zonge ZT-30 geophysical transmitter connected to

electrodes on the surface some distance from the hole and the second placed down the hole

at approximately 156m from surface. Synchronisation was controlled by a Zonge XMT-32

transmitter controller.

Ideally this kind of test calls for the current electrode to be planted directly within each zone of

mineralisation. However, because the known sulphide sections were in the blocked-off part

of the hole, it was only practical to do the next best and plant the current electrode at the

deepest point reachable and use this as a current injection point. By this means, the survey

in effect can search above the current injection point.

Induced Polarisation readings were obtained at 40 metre stations on a grid of overall

dimensions 400 metres East-west by 160 metres North-south centred on the drill collar. The

in-hole excitation point consisted of a one metre length of 25mm copper rod at 156 metres

depth presumably located in mud. Approximately two kilograms of copper sulphate in water

were poured into the drill pipe to improve conductive contact with surrounding rock. A

second electrode for current input was located as an infinity point approximately 650 metres

to the South. Readings were taken at moving porous pots located at grid points and at an

infinity point located approximately 650 metres to the North.

6.2. IP Results and interpretation

Four plots of results are included here: Self Potential, Apparent Chargeability, Potential, and

Apparent Resistivity (Figures 24 to 27). The grid extends 160 metres North-south and 400

metres East-west and the drillhole and the current injection point lie beneath the geographic

centre of the grid.

Anomalous IP results were recorded in each of the Self Potential, Apparent Chargeability

and Potential. Anomalies and Potential and in Apparent Chargeability are essentially linear

in pattern, have an overall East-west strike and extend at least 200 metres past the drillhole

and out of the surveyed area.

Surprisingly high values of Apparent Chargeability (up to 35 milliseconds in the pink area of

Figure 25) were recorded in the Northwest of the grid. This corresponds approximately to an

area low in Potential low (blue values Figure 26), which in turn allows calculation of Apparent

Resistivity low values marked as deep purple (Figure 27). Such correspondence of high

values of Apparent Chargeability and Low Apparent Resistivity is often associated with

sulphides.

It is notable that in each of these set of responses there is no obvious concentric pattern of

contours around the drillhole. Rather we see a half closed concentric pattern in Apparent

Chargeability centred some 150 metres or more to the Northwest of the drillhole. This is an

unusual and key result. This may indicate that the IP method didn’t connect with significant

conductive or chargeable bodies close to the current injection point, i.e. at 156 metres.

Rather, the IP connected with a separate body at least 150 metres away and below the

Chargeability high. Estimated depth to the source is approximately 150 metres plus.

It is recommended that the anomalies are followed up.

The Self Potential is a measure of natural voltaic response of an area, and a high zone can

indicate oxidising sulphides beneath. In the area around NDW12-01 the higher responses in

Self Potential, as indicated by the pink coloration in the figure, lie in sinuous patterns over

the grid, different from the other responses. This suggests a different kind of source from

what is observed in the Potential and Apparent Chargeability. The sinuous patterns are

suggestive of channels in a floodplain. These responses may indicate variations in clay

content of shallow channels at less than 50 metres depth. The highest results as evidenced

by three stations are centred approximately 80 metres East of the drillhole.

The geological source of the anomalies is uncertain. Sulphides are possible: alternatively

clays are also possible.

7. Conclusions and Recommendations 1. Conclusion TEM: Because NDW12-01 was blocked halfway down and essentially

dry, testing of geophysical characteristics of the rocks intersected by the drill was

limited in scope.

2. Conclusion: TEM: The TEM results did not detect large conducting and chargeable

mineralised bodies either intersecting or as near misses to the drillhole NDW12-01

above an estimated 150 metres depth.

3. Conclusion TEM: Implications for future exploration. The TEM results indicate that

the shallow part of sediments surveyed at NDW12-01 are essentially transparent to

the type of electromagnetic signals used in mineral exploration. Also, importantly,

there is an absence of the often troublesome ‘conductive overburden’ experienced

elsewhere in Australia.

4. Recommendation TEM: If these conditions are widespread in this area of the

Carpentaria Basin, the TEM method is practical for large scale surveys seeking to

explore beneath these sediments to look in the basement for electrically detectable

ore-bodies like for instance HYC and Tennant Creek. Such surveys would use a

heavy duty system with large loops energised by high currents and with longer

recording times.

5. Conclusion IP: The Induced Polarisation results recorded Self potential Apparent

Chargeability and Potential values (similar to Apparent Resistivity) anomalies around

the drillhole NDW12-01. The SP anomalies appear sinuous reminiscent of channels

and it is believed that these are caused by variations in the relatively shallow

sediments, probably the top 50 metres. A locus of high values 80 metres east of the

drillhole warrant follow up.

6. Conclusion IP: Implications for exploration. The source of the Apparent Chargeability

and Potential values anomalies are typical of a large disseminated sulphide body.

The depth is approximately 150 metres plus. These anomalies warrant further

investigation including drilling.

7. Conclusion IP: Because operational matters prevented direct access to the deeper

sulphides intersected by the drillhole NDW12-01, the direct characteristics of these

remain untested by the downhole IP method,

8. Recommendation IP: If exploration continues in this locality, the sources of the deep

and shallow IP anomalies should be followed up.

9. Recommendation General: To focus drilling for ore-bodies in this area, consideration

should be given to gravity traversing across the Daly River arch and airborne

magnetic surveying over the tenements, to pin down the basement depth and

structural morphology.
