| The project area has been shown
to contain a number of clusters of first, second and third order radiometric
anomalies that have never been investigated (Figures 48 to 52). 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 Arunta
Block Project areas are ideally situated for metamorphic- 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 tenements have geological potential to host the favourable
metamorphic-related model in which oxidised fluids carry soluble
uranium which can be deposited within a metamorphic terrain and
on the contact of metamorphic basement rocks to form unconformity
uranium-style deposits.
