Diamond exploration undertaken north-west of Moolawatana included the acquisition of airborne magnetic / radiometric and ground magnetic surveys, plus soil, stream sediment, gravel, loam and rock chip sampling, and aircore/diamond drilling (25 holes, total 897 m). Samples containing chromites and picro-ilmenites were common, but were judged to be of a non-kimberlitic origin. One micro-diamond was recorded near the Emu 100 prospect. No base metal geochemical anomalies were detected as a byproduct of the surface sampling and geophysical anomaly drilling, while a separately noted 6.3 ppb Au BLEG result was not supported by close follow-up sampling. The potential for finding Beverley - type sedimentary roll-front uranium orebodies in the EL area was reviewed and was classed as marginal due to the thinly developed remnant Tertiary cover.
