Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total 1914 m) and diamond drilling (3 holes, total 1066 m) of, three prominent aeromagnetic anomalies (Broken Dam, Con Ryan Dam and Anomaly 'F'), plus related prospect gridding, acquisition of detailed ground magnetic and ground gravity surveys, and soil and stream sediment geochemical sampling. Low grade Cu/Zn/Pb intersections were reported from the Fe-oxide enriched Pandurra Formation above a shallow basement of Gawler Range Volcanics, but no significant uranium values or kimberlitic trace element suites were detected. Routine magnetic susceptibility and specific gravity determinations were carried out on all drill core to refine input to ongoing magnetic and gravity interpretation work in the area.
