Mary River EL 26007

EL 26007 “Mary River ” is in the Northern Territory. The EL is moderately undulating apart from along the Golden Dyke zone on the western side and the Cullen Granite Zone on the southern side, which have steep sided ridges. The general area has seen considerable mineral exploration activity, mainly for Au, Ag and base metals. Significant discoveries within 10 km of the EL’s boundary include the following with published grades in brackets:

• Northern Hercules Au, Ag, Cu (57 g/t Au).
• Evelyn Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, Au (6,3% Pb, 7% Zn, 275 g/t Ag).
• McCarthys Ag-Pb (308 g/t Ag, 69% Pb).
• Stockyard Prospect Au, Ag, Cu (3.7 g/t Au, 300g/t Ag).

In the 1980s the Cleos Uranium prospect was discovered which is a vein type deposit associated with black shales and carbonates. This is currently being evaluated by.

The tenement is located centrally within the Pine Creek Orogen on the eastern flanks of the Cullen Batholith. This multiphase Proterozoic batholith comprises various phases that have been dated at between 1840 Ma and 1780 Ma. The batholith’s post-orogenic intrusions are associated with vein and stock work mineralization of the following commodities : Sn, W, Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Bi, U, and Mo.

The EL straddles the contact of the Cullen intrusions near Early Proterozoic sediments of the South Alligator and Finniss River Groups. Approximately 6 km to the west of the EL, on the western contact of the Cullen Batholith, is the Cleos Uranium Prospect. To the south and southeast are the Evelyn Ag, Pb and Zn prospect and the Moline Au prospect.
