| The project areas have been shown
to contain a number of clusters of first and second order radiometric
anomalies that have never been investigated (Figures 32 and 33). The
radiometric anomalies are associated with 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 structures the East
Wiso Basin Project areas are ideally situated for calcrete and sandstone
uranium deposits.
● Regionally, the project area is located south of the Woolgni/Edith
River uranium field which contains uranium deposits in the Pine
Creek Geosyncline.
● The Pine Creek Geosyncline accounts for all the known mined out
uranium resources in the Northern Territory, but also contains economic
quantities of gold, base metals and iron ore.
● The tenements have the geological potential to host the favourable
model in which oxidised fluids, sourced from overlying platform
cover sandstone successions (such as the Hayward Creek Formation)
carrying soluble uranium and depositing in calcretes and/or in sandstones
to form uranium deposits.
