| The project area has been shown
to contain a number of clusters of first and second order radiometric
anomalies that have never been investigated (Figures 20 to 29). The
radiometric anomalies are associated with the favourable lithologies
to potentially hosted uranium deposits as the Alligator River Uranium
Field region which lies to the north.
In terms of both regional and project scale structure the McArthur
Basin Project areas are ideally situated for unconformity and calcrete
uranium deposits.
● Regionally, the project area is located on the western part
of the Woolgni/Edith River uranium field which contains uranium
deposits in the Pine Creek Geosyncline.
● The Pine Creek Geosyncline account known mined out uranium resources
in the Northern Territory, but also contains economic quantities
of gold, base metals, iron ore etc
● The tenements have the geological potential to have the favourable
model in which oxidised fluids, sourced from overlying platform
cover sandstone successions (such as the Moroak Sandstone) carrying
soluble uranium and depositing on the contact of the sandstone and
the metamorphic basement rocks, which in turn forms the unconformity
