The area of ELs 1841/2551 (formerly EL 1568), located approximately 70 km north-west of Kimba on the northern Eyre Peninsula, was considered to be prospective for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au and Menninnie Dam style Pb-Zn mineralisation. Earlier work by Aberfoyle, which had included 573 m of shallow RAB drilling, had identified an area of Au anomalism at the Nankivel Dam prospect, and during 1993-1995 initial exploration was effected by soil sampling in this area on a 400 m grid covering 70 square km, besides doing rock chip sampling elsewhere on the licence. Two silicified and gossanous surface samples collected from the anomalous area returned very encouraging values of 1.53% Pb and 0.77 ppm Au. The Au-Pb anomalous zone north of Nankivel Dam was followed up by MIM, who performed detailed mapping, rock chip sampling, and the drilling of three inclined RC holes for 347.5 m total penetration. The holes intersected mainly massive felsic volcano-sedimentary quartz and quartzites, with minor intense quartz-sulphide (arsenopyrite) veining and some lesser haematite matrix-breccia complexes, altered in part. The nature of this alteration was investigated by PIMA spectrometer analysis, and was identified as a low temperature, low pH hydrothermal alunite - dickite - halloysite - pyrolusite assemblage. Drillhole sample metal assay results were low, the best being 2 m at 0.7% Zn, besides some patchy, localised Au and Pb enrichments. Attention then turned to the remainder of the licence when Acacia Metals farmed in as of October 1997, and a regional calcrete sampling program was completed with samples taken at 800 m centres. Two low order anomalous areas seen north-east of Nankivel Dam were infilled with samples taken at 200 m centres, which served to substantiate the significance of the gold-in-calcrete anomalism, returning peak values of 7 and 11 ppm Au respectively. No field work was conducted in the last 30 months of tenure of the subject licence.
