Within a small relinquished area that is centred about 37 km north-northeast of Cowell, along the fault scarp at the edge of the western Spencer Gulf coastal plain, exploration for uranium has concentrated on identifying possible IOCG type mineralisation formed in buried Hiltaba Suite basement, and hopefully also, establishing the presence of related younger Tertiary sandstone-hosted secondary uranium deposits in a similar setting to that of the recently discovered Eocene sedimentary uranium occurrence at Mullaquana, which is located not far distant to the north-east. The only field work done on this area by the licensee occurred during December 2010, when 10 of 82 ground gravity stations were read at 200 m spacing along roadside traverses located within it. The subset of gravity data so obtained is herewith presented. The licensee has stated that on-ground exploration of the subject part of EL 4400 has been limited owing to the following factors: - the discovery of large areas of the tenement covered by Native Vegetation Heritage Agreements (HA 462, 468, 628, 809 and 977) that were not described in the licence documentation or in any DMITRE public domain databases; and - the current lack of support for nuclear power, and the stagnation of the uranium price since the tsunami-induced accident at Japan’s Fukishima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, which has made obtaining funds for uranium-based mineral exploration difficult.
