A known, undeveloped stratabound Neoproterozoic magnesite deposit at Witchelina, for which resources and reserves have historically been defined, has been taken up afresh in anticipation that a beneficiation procedure can be developed that will result in a commercial MgCO3 product being created. The underlying issue remains the need to efficiently liberate the magnesite from silica with which it is admixed in the raw material. A similar line of exploratory enquiry is already underway by the subject licensee on its adjoining EL 4567 Yadlakina Hut. It is expected that a common solution to the extraction problem can be applied across the entire magnesite province. Work performed to date has been primarily been based upon samples taken from EL 4567, as the rock units being tested are from the same stratigraphic sequence. During the first licence year, attempts were made to retrieve past WDD series drill core samples that might be in storage at the PIRSA Drill Core Library, but it was found that a great many reported drillholes are not physically represented there. Some few core samples were able to be collected to submit for laboratory bench mineral separation testwork. During licence Year 2, the samples related to EL 4729 still had not been processed because work on the EL 4567 samples was proving difficult and thus was still underway. 22 stored drill core samples from hole WIDDH01 which appeared to have black shale affinity were sent for multi-element geochemical analysis, and the assay results are presented herein. During licence Years 3 and 4, no work was done. During licence Year 5, Archer began to construct computer 3D wireframe models of the individual magnesite beds at the Witchelina deposit, starting with Beds 4 and 17, with the intent of doing a volumetric analysis. During licence Years 6 and 7, no work was done. During licence Year 8, a single site visit was made to allow consultants to view the ground and the magnesite beds. No other fieldwork was completed and no new technical data was generated.
