Exploration Licence 6330 is located in the Murray Basin, approximately 30 km south of Tailem Bend. During the first reporting year to 24th March 2020, no mineral exploration work was completed on EL 6330. During the second reporting period, no work was again undertaken on the exploration licence due to difficulties in obtaining a drill rig due to restrictions put in place due to COVID-19. During the third year of reporting Iluka undertook an exploration drilling program consisting of 13 Reverse Circulation (RC) aircore dill holes for 381 m. Heavy mineral concentrations were negligible, with 19 samples submitted for assay, however the location of the drilling expressed the desirable shore facies indicating a depositional setting of upper to lower shore. The highest HM across the drill program occurred on the south-western edge of the outcropping Padthaway Ridge granite. Iluka believe that the area is prospective, particularly further seaward and with increasing distance to the east, however, this could not be tested during the program as access rights for further south and eastern lying properties were not established. During the fourth and final year of reporting no exploration work was carried out on the tenement, with Iluka making the decision to surrender the area, concluding that the area was not considered prospective for potentially economic heavy mineral concentrations.
