A large area centred approximately 170 km south-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible economic buried secondary uranium mineralisation in the form of palaeochannel - hosted roll front or unconformity type deposits which may have formed within the Cenozoic sedimentary cover. The area is also considered prospective for Archaean basement - hosted “Challenger style” gold mineralisation that might occur within the Christie Gneiss. Dominion’s Challenger gold mine lies 25 km east of the eastern border of EL 3775. No field work was conducted during either of the second or third licence years, but office-based geophysical studies were continued, aimed at defining the distribution of inferred Tertiary palaeochannel tributaries for on-ground exploration follow-up. Sparse historic drillhole data and regional stratigraphic studies being conducted by PIRSA (Hou et al. 2007) indicate that parts of the Anthony, Woldra and Garford palaeochannel systems cover a substantial part of the licence area. During 2008-2009, Marmota conducted processing of the three new geophysical survey datasets (gravity, electromagnetic and magnetic plus radiometric) which it had acquired in licence Year 1.

Notes: This release to the public of the subject mineral exploration data, namely, company data which was acquired more than 5 years ago, is being done by DMITRE in accord with the provisions of Section 77D of the Mining Act 1971 and Regulation 88 of the Mining Regulations 2011.  El 3775 expired at the end of its Year 3 because an application for Year 4 tenure was not submitted by the licensee within the statutory renewal administration period. At the request of Marmota, who subsequently submitted a new licence application for essentially the same area (584 square km vs 570 square km formerly), the ground was re-issued to the company on 21/3/2011 as EL 4702.
