The coastal area to the north of Elliston on Eyre Peninsula was taken under licence by Afmeco Mining and Exploration (AFMEX) to explore for possible economic buried Athabasca Basin style unconformity-type uranium mineralisation that might have formed at the interface between the Mesoproterozoic Blue Range Beds filling the Itiledoo Basin, and the underlying crystalline Mesoproterozoic/Palaeoproterozoic to Archaean basement. At least twelve 12 companies have explored for minerals in the Elliston district since 1977, but within the area of the subject tenement there has been no historical uranium exploration. Moreover, the entire Itiledoo Basin is largely under-explored for uranium, with only one drillhole on record that reached the unconformity in the eastern part of the basin. During the first licence year, a review of historical exploration activities was undertaken, and during July 2006, a helicopter-borne time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey was flown, along 400 m spaced north-south lines with a sensor elevation 82 m, for 2226.2 line km total coverage. Processing of the AEM data suggested the presence of conductors at depth below the Itiledoo Basin which may represent good targets for unconformity-type uranium. During the second licence year, a moving loop ground EM survey of 6 lines totalling 24.2 line km was carried out in order to precisely locate inferred bedrock graphitic conductors identified by the helicopter-borne VTEM survey. The results suggested the presence of three shallow (<200 m deep) conductors within the Itiledoo Basin, but did not discern any deeper EM anomalies via the 200 m station spacing and 400 m square loop array used. During the third licence year, another more penetrative ground electrical survey method, audio frequency magnetotellurics (AMT), was utilised by AFMEX to try to characterise the deeper conductive features that had been identified by the 2006 VTEM survey. Between October and December 2008, 503 stations were read at 100 m intervals for 50.3 line km along 16 anomaly profiles. Processing of the natural sourced (NSAMT) and controlled source (CSAMT) data suggested the presence of deep conductors within the Itiledoo Basin strata, but a reliable interpretation still could not be finalised. During the fourth licence year, more NSAMT ground survey data (bringing the total AMT coverage to 87.3 line km) were acquired during February-March 2009 along 9 previously profiled lines above the deep conductive features, but their presence was not replicated. Upon checking, all deep conductors interpreted from the 2008 AMT survey were shown to be artefacts arising from data processing. Overall, the AMT survey results were shown to be inconclusive, with no conductors evident which were suitable for further definition work, or deemed robust enough to elect to initialise a drilling campaign. During the fifth licence year, no on-ground activities were performed due to corporate internal restructuring and project prioritisation. No additional work was undertaken during the sixth licence year, under a renewed EL tenure. It was concluded that the geophysical conditions apparently associated with the geology present in this tenement area are particularly challenging for any EM techniques to succeed in locating deep basement conductors. Proposed further research into applying new geophysical methods or data processing algorithms did not occur before a decision was made during September 2012 to surrender EL 4789.
