Exploration Licence 6924, is located approximately 30 km north east of Marree, and is being targeted uranium mineralisation hosted within sandstone of the Eyre and Mackuna Formations of the Lake Eyre and Eromanga Basins.

This report represents the final technical report for the tenement to 18th September 2024. Exploration activities included a detailed desktop study along with a geological mapping with a ground-based gamma-ray spectrometry surveys, and the collection of surface samples conducted concurrently. A total of 30 localities were visited during the mapping, while 52 surface samples (24 rock and 28 soils) were collected for pXRF (in-house SciAps 555 portable x-ray fluorescence analyser) analysis. Initial results were promising with results up to 297 ppm U, so 12 rock chip samples were sent for further multi-element analysis to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the geochemistry. The ground based gamma-ray spectrometry survey consisted of 32 "assay" stations with detailed readings collected along with approximately 22 line-km of total gamma readings collected.

Despite promising results, the company decided to surrender the tenement primarily due to prohibitive costs associated with negotiating access agreements with the Dieri Aboriginal Corporation (TDAC).
