TARGET: Sedimentary uranium in the Garford and other palaeodrainage channels, over an area of the Great Victoria Desert lying south of the Wilkinson Lakes. EXPLORATION: RC drilling (50 holes totalling 2331 m) was carried out to test sediments occurring within the Garford Palaeochannel, in basement depressions defined by SADME gravity surveys, in deflation depressions, and on the edge of the Tallaringa Trough. This was followed by basement rock outcrop and water bore groundwater sampling, plus hand-held alphameter and vehicle mounted spectrometer surveys, and follow-up drilling near earlier holes showing anomalous gamma radiation (WL22 and WL38). RESULTS: Drilling failed to locate significant mineralisation or sedimentary environments conducive to mineralisation. Assessment of the base metal potential of the area is recommended.
