Exploration of an area in the eastern Musgrave Ranges located 70 km north-east of Marla, 10 km south of Mount Irwin Homestead, and 22 km east of the Stuart Highway, has sought to find possible Giles Complex - hosted magmatic nickel sulphide and platinum group metals, primary mesothermal/hydrothermal gold, and stratiform Broken Hill - type base metals in the predominantly sand-covered, shallowly buried Proterozoic bedrock. No field work was conducted during the term of the licence, principally due to an inability to resolve land access issues centred around obtaining Native Title agreements from traditional owners and claimant groups. Office studies were performed instead, that comprised reviews of geological, geochemical and geophysical data, making an interpretation of regolith geology, work programme planning, and joint venture - seeking activities. Significant field work undertaken during the subject period on the joint venture's adjoining EL 2910 De Rose Hill included surface geochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveying and follow-up aircore drilling : however, no encouraging results were forthcoming.
