IP and resistivity surveys, 1:200 scale geological mapping, and soil and rock chip sampling were carried out over exploration grids covering bleached metasedimentary outcrops that might indicate possible buried lode extensions in the vicinity of the Talisker and Campbell Creek mines. One westwards-inclined diamond hole was drilled to a depth of 477 feet to test an IP anomaly, but was abandoned after entering an old mine tunnel (suspected to be the NW 250 foot level of Lowry's mine). No significant mineralisation was encountered, and no anomalous base or precious metal values were returned. Background lead values in soils of the area are on average 10 times greater than associated copper values.

Notes: No work was done on the SML 298 area, of 610 acres, during the tenure period, and therefore no quarterly activity reports were submitted.  The two technical reports that were submitted to the SA Department of Mines by the licensees relate only to mineral appraisal work that they carried out on the set of 14 current Talisker area mining leases, covering an excluded area of approximately 440 acres surrounded by the SML 298 ground, to which MLs they had recently acquired the ownership rights.  The latter two reports are the ones indexed herein.  The same parties involved in the unsatisfactory lack of work performance for SML 298 have subsequently formed a public company, Southern Exploration Co. Pty Ltd, to pursue other mineral exploration - related interests.
