TARGET: An aeromagnetic anomaly located 12 km north-west of Witchitie Homestead was investigated as to whether it is indicative of a possible carbonatite source. EXPLORATION: Ground magnetic surveys, geological field reconnaissance and limited geochemical sampling over the anomaly. RESULTS: The anomaly was interpreted as being probably due to iron-rich sediments of the Holowilena Ironstone.
