Following the acquisition and interpretation of a semi-detailed aerial magnetic survey, with ground gravity and magnetic surveys follow-up, 4 aircore/diamond drillholes, totalling 508.5 m, and 78 shallow RAB drill holes, totalling 974 m, were drilled near the eastern side of Lake Gairdner to test magnetic/gravity anomalies for Olympic Dam type copper-uranium-gold-REE mineralisation. Trace metal assays returned generally low values. The drilling showed that there is probably no shallow pre-Gawler Range Volcanics basement in the area, and that the Pandurra Formation in the areas drilled contains only background levels of base metals and uranium.
