A small area centred ~13 km north of Tarcoola was taken up to add to the licensee's Tarcoola Gold Project acreage in the central Gawler Craton, and to further explore for Challenger or Tarcoola style gold and for any economic base metal mineralisation which might occur within Mesoproterozoic and older basement rocks. No work was done in Year 1, mainly because of a corporate takeover. A review of historical exploration data was started, to compile useful information into a GIS database. No work was done during licence Year 2. A partial relinquishment of 22 square km or ~49% of the original licence area was made in April 2015. No work was done during licence Year 3. A field trip to search for the collars of old open drillholes located on the tenement was unproductive. No field work was done during licence Year 4. Historical calcrete sampling was reviewed, and future infill sampling considered. The tenement was renewed for a fifth year and a 25% relinquishment was incurred. No field work was done during the fifth licence year, with the parent companies efforts focused on surface exploration of the Tarcoola Mining Lease.
