During 2005, consultant geomorphologist Richard Russell was contracted by FDL to undertake a study of existing 'unsourced’ kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies that occur in the northern part of the Springfield Project area. The initial aim of the work was to (re) examine the potential of Tertiary and Pleistocene sediments as a potential source of the many fresh picroilmenite-dominated indicator mineral anomalies in the Wilson Valley - Kanyaka - Willochra region and also the chromite-dominant diamictite/diapir association within the Springfield / Boolcunda / Round Hill localities. As part of this programme, 199 samples were collected for KIM analysis, and 146 samples were submitted for Nb-Ni-Cr-Zr pathfinder element assaying. A further 9 samples were sent off for palynological age determinations. Over the two-year period January 2006 to December 2007, FDL's work focussed on bulk sampling of the Eurelia kimberlite dykes K2, K7 and 41c. All three dykes yielded some diamonds, and a total of 74 diamonds were found amongst the processed heavy mineral concentrate fractions. Those diamonds recovered from the 100 ton bulk sample of dyke K7 gave the highest grade by weight, of approximately 0.5 ct. During January-February 2008, FDL contracted Geosolutions to fly a large detailed helicopter-borne aerial magnetic survey across its Springfield Project tenements, of 16,878 line km flown along 100 m spaced north-south lines at a nominal 30 m sensor height above ground level. The new magnetic data were interpreted in-house, and selected anomalies were tested by heavy mineral loam and/or stream sediment sampling (204 samples collected). The cover above 33 of the magnetic anomalies tested positive for KIM, many with >10 grains per sample, and these potential kimberlite targets were evaluated with ground magnetic profiling, more loam sampling, and the excavation of 26 trenches to try to reveal the sources of 12 of the targets. No kimberlites were encountered. 293 loam samples were sent for multi-element geochemical analysis and for electron microprobe studies of KIM grain composition, to identify probable kimberlite or carbonatite protolith affinities. A second detailed helimag survey was completed in the northern section of the project area during June 2008, commissioned by FDL in concert with its farm-in partner Copper Range, seeking to identify potential base metal - related anomalies as well as those caused by kimberlites. Another 3494 line km were flown at 50 m line spacing and 30 m sensor height. During July of the following year, FDL acquired an ultra-detailed helimag airborne survey over the Eurelia kimberlite field (2085 line km flown along 25 m spaced north-south lines, at 30 m sensor height), which resulted in dramatic improvements in the resolution of buried narrow kimberlite dykes from the magnetic dataset. 258 targets were picked for profiling with ground magnetics, and the anomalies were then ranked for further investigation according to their size, shape and apparent depth of source below cover. 135 trenches were dug to investigate inferred dykes, and 12 of these encountered kimberlites, all of which carry microdiamonds to varying degrees. Impregnated rock samples of two of the most diamondiferous intrusions were examined in polished thin section for their petrological characteristics. A single line of ground gravity readings was made over the Yanyarrie barite occurrence located 15 km north of Carrieton, as part of a re-evaluation of its economic potential. 170 soil samples were also collected from a grid covering the prospect, and 10 samples of barite were taken from old costeans, to assay for barium and a suite of other elements. A trial ground EM survey was conducted over a kimberlite dyke at Eurelia, in an area of low magnetic contrast. Down to 6 m depth, a good conductivity contrast was observed between the deeply weathered, moist dyke material and the local host bedrock. Also at Eurelia, further loam samples were collected from 2.5 m depth in the soil profile above 6 kimberlite dykes, for determining the trace element geochemical dispersion halo characteristics of these intrusions. Exploration undertaken by FDL during 2010 proceeded by a repetition of methods begun the year before, and again was focussed within the Eurelia district. During January 2010, a second ultra-detailed helimag survey was flown to extend the coverage to the west and south of the 2009 dataset. 3012 line km were flown at 25 m north-south line spacing, with a nominal 30 m sensor height. 44 follow-up ground magnetic surveys were run to define targets lying along strike from or parallel to known diamondiferous kimberlite bodies, and two 350 m long lines of detailed, 25 m down to 1 m spaced microgravity readings were made over target CA130, a 10 m wide kimberlite blow - dyke complex, to measure its gravity signature. The micro gravity data showed a clear response to both the kimberlite blow and associated dyke. Nine trenches were dug to test inferred dyke targets, and two encountered kimberlite, while the causes of the remaining magnetic anomalies have been attributed either to magnetic palaeochannel fill or to changes in basement topography. Aircore drilling (38 vertical holes for 1218 m total penetration) was performed to test several magnetic anomalies which had previously been trenched, for instances where the excavation had failed to reach the interpreted magnetic source owing to excessive cover thickness. Three kimberlite bodies were encountered, and samples of these were examined petrographically and submitted for geochemical trace element and whole rock analyses. 30 samples taken from all of the new kimberlite bodies found since mid-2009 were processed to extract microdiamonds, and 360 were recovered. As part of an academic research project, two students from Curtin University in WA visited FDL's office during mid-September 2010 to obtain permission and guidance in collecting several soil samples from the Eurelia area from which they would be able to extract a number of so-called 'hot' and 'cold' zircon grains. This mineral species is quite common in samples from this area, however, it was soon realised that all of the heavy mineral concentrates which FDL had already received from the processing laboratory lacked the now desired smaller grain size fraction (<0.3 mm), which the laboratory had discarded. It is this smaller fraction which typically contains the zircons. The students' intent was to study as many as possible individual grains of ‘hot’ zircons, these being zircons which have been heated at some stage. These zircons can then be dated to define more precisely the ages of volcanism within the Eurelia kimberlite field. In consequence of the need to provide new samples for this geochronological research purpose, two FDL employees and the Curtin University students went on a short field trip later in September to collect a total of 21 samples of stream sediments and kimberlites. It is understood that the results of the study won’t be known until sometime in the 2011 new year.
