Annotation
Previous mining and exploration is summarised. A geological compilation of the area is presented. The EL is considered to be prospective for: (a) stratiform base metals and gold in amphibolites beneath shallow basaltic cover, and (b) alluvial gold, PGE and diamonds in favourable facies within sub-basaltic or un-mapped Tertiary gravels.
