Three areas located along the southern margin of the Eromanga Basin, east and south-east of Marree and adjacent to the Strzelecki Track, have been explored for possible economic sedimentary uranium accumulations in porous Mesozoic sandstones, as it was believed that these strata occupy a good position to have received uranium-bearing groundwater from the Mount Painter Complex and Neoproterozoic rocks of the Flinders Ranges over an extensive period of time. Because the sandstones lie at relatively shallow depths of less than 100 m, and onlap older basement rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline that consist of Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic metasedimentary sequences and granite, Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks, and Cambrian sedimentary rocks, they were considered by Eromanga Uranium to be ideal targets. Work undertaken during the first year of tenure included a combined EM (RepTem) and magnetic, helicopter-borne geophysical survey of the entire project area, reconnaissance geochemical sampling of bore water, and rock chip sampling to ground-truth uranium anomalies that are visible on airborne radiometric images. The aerial TEM data was acquired along 1 km spaced flight lines at a nominal sensor flight height of 30 m. The eight groundwater samples analysed were not anomalous with respect to uranium. Rock chip and soil samples collected from areas of maximum scintillometric gamma response within the confirmed radiometric anomalies returned assay values of up to 85 ppm U. During the second year of tenure, a rotary mud drilling programme was devised to test RepTEM conductive anomalies. In July and August 2008, 36 holes were drilled on ELs 3577 and 3578 for a total penetration of 4969 m, to depths ranging between 42 and 198 m. Except for holes MPRM031 to MPRM036, within which the drill rods were all run out (198 m) before basement was reached, the majority were drilled to bit refusal in Neoproterozic basement. 160 drill cuttings samples were analysed for uranium and thorium. Only two samples returned values above the lower detection limit of 5 ppm U. In hole MPRM014 the sample interval 16-18 m (weathered uppermost Bulldog Shale) returned a value of 9 ppm U. In hole MPRM027, the sample interval 12-14 m (basal Etadunna Formation sand) returned a value of 6 ppm U. Downhole wireline gamma ray logging of all the drillholes recorded no significant radioactivity. Because of the failure to detect significant uranium mineralisation on ELs 3574, 3577, and 3578, these tenements have been surrendered.
