| 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 40 and 41). 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 structure the Davenport Range Project area is ideally situated for sandstone- and unconformity-style 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 the known mined out uranium resources in the Northern Territory, but also contains economic quantities of gold, base metals and iron ore. ● The tenement has geological potential to host the favourable
model in which oxidised fluids, sourced from overlying platform
cover sandstone successions (such as the Andagera and Coulters Sandstone
Formations) and carry soluble uranium which can be deposited on
the contact of the sandstone and the metamorphic basement rocks,
to form unconformity uranium-style deposits. |
