Licence areas consisting of several small sub-blocks that were located north and north-west of Lake Acraman have been explored for possible epithermal silver-gold and porphyry copper mineralisation that may have formed within altered lower Gawler Range Volcanics sequence rocks. During the first licence year, no field work was done. Activities comprised the conduct of Native Title heritage clearance surveys, land access liaison with pastoral leaseholders and landowners, and making a desktop review of available open file past exploration reports and data. During licence Year 2, Endeavour Discoveries performed orientation and reconnaissance surface geochemical sampling. The orientation soil and rock chip sampling was done on EL 5003 to ground proof the mention of a breccia at the Cooramundi Dam prospect that was noted by the company during compilation of open file data; the reconnaissance soil sampling was done over Monax Mining's previously identified subtle but broadly coincident multi-trace metal soil geochemical response on EL 5002. No significant anomalism was returned from laboratory ICP-MS and ICP-AES assaying of the 22 x minus 100 microns soil fraction orientation samples and 5 x minus 75 microns fraction rock chip orientation samples. The reconnaissance detailed soil sampling done in July 2014 over the Monax anomaly extending along the eastern side of Yeltabinna Creek, where 118 new samples were collected at 200 m x 50 m intervals, only yielded low level results: highest values were Au – 1 ppb, Ag – 30 ppb, As – 5 ppm and Cu - 15 ppm, and so did not confirm the original anomaly, which it was decided may have arisen through laboratory process contamination. No other follow-up was deemed necessary.
