EL23848 | EL23874 | EL31402 | EL23875
Large 1,235 km2 landholding across 4 leases in the Northern Territory Tanami region.
Close proximity to historical workings and Newmont’s The Granites mine. (30km away)
All 4 leases granted with Central land council Deed For Exploration in place
CSIRO & NT Geological Survey completed detailed 200m line spaced aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys in 2018 across the Tanami Region.
This was the largest regional-scale survey ever completed by the NTGS, and was conducted to provide insights into the geological framework and better support exploration in this important gold-bearing terrane.
The revised interpretation has expanded the extent of the prospective Dead Bullock Formation under cover within the JRE project areas for orogenic Au targets and also provided a detailed dataset for exploration of other mineralisation styles such as Ni-Cu-PGE and REE.
EL23875 Ni-Cu-PGE Target
Coincident magnetic and gravity high ~10km strike length.
Historical surface sampling and drilling completed at Bennets #1 target including - 19 Aircore drillholes (912m) & 13 RAB drillholes (598m). 3km spaced drill lines orientated north-south with drill spacing along lines ranging from 200m up to 800m. Maximum depth of drilling 76m.
Cover sediments comprising unconsolidated channel fill up to 46m thick.
Peak assays: 0.13% Ni, 354 ppm Cu, 144.6 ppb Pt+Pd (Drillhole AC-BT025).
MPX has engaged Xcalibur MultiPhysics to complete a 900+ line km Helitem Helicopter-borne Electromagnetic survey expected to be flown in May 2022.
EL31402 Au Target
Southern block underlain by Paleoproterozoic granite (PL) and Lander Rock Formation (LRF); northern block underlain by PL, LRF and Dead Bullock Formation (DBF), with minimal exposed bedrock.
Weakly mineralized trends from the west at Terry’s Depot extend into northern EL block where the EL is underlain by DBF and has not been tested by historical programs.
High of 35 ppb Au from air core hole in hole drilled by Tanami Gold in southern claim block; elevated Au in regolith samples drilled by North Flinders Mines in northern block
EL23874 Au Target
Relatively little historical exploration compared to adjacent tenements.
Updated geological interpretation revised dominant unit in EL23874 from Strangeways Metamorphic Complex to ~20km strike length of the more prospective Dead Bullock Formation.
Previous exploration comprises sparse surface geochem and 6 RAB drill lines spaced up to 6km apart with average hole depth of 27m.
Historic results returned a max of 8 ppb Au, however numerous potential structural features remain untested.
EL23848 REE Target
Potential for REE mineralisation in Archean rocks by analogy with the Northern Minerals Wolverine and satellite HREE deposits located in Western Australia and hosted by equivalent Browns Range Dome metamorphic rocks.
No historical sampling for REE mineralisation.
Numerous large scale structures untested
