The Northern Territory Government has granted 11 of 12 Exploration Licence Applications at the Victoria River Project (Zinc, Lead) and the Tanumbirini Project Area west of the McArthur River Zinc Mine.
-
The Tanumbirini Project Area strongly supported by Northern Australia Geochemical Survey data base and Airborne Electromagnetic Surveys (both Geoscience Australia databases).

The Northern Territory Government has now granted 11 of the 12 Exploration Licences that make up the Tanumbirini and Victoria River Projects to Pennant Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Auburn Resources Limited, 47% owned by DGR Global (see Figures 1 and 2 ).
Tennant Creek and Mt Isa are the preeminent mineral resource hubs for the Northern Territory and Queensland. The region between these two hubs is a vast prospective frontier covered by a thin veneer of sediments. Geoscience Australia (GA), as part of the Federal Government’s “ Exploring for the Future” program, undertook an extensive soil sampling survey in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Catchment outlet sediment samples were collected at 776 sites (including duplicates) and analyzed for elemental composition using three different analytical techniques[1] . The black dots in Figure 3 show all the sample points. Subsequently, GA undertook a wide spaced airborne ElectroMagnetic survey over the whole area, principally to define sulphide mineralization targets.
In mid‐2018 GA started the public release of the Northern Australian Geochemical Survey[2] , and DGR Global geoscientists started to interrogate the massive data sets. With a primary interest in base metals, DGR focussed on the total lead assays rather than other base metals such as copper and nickel, since lead is relatively insoluble, not moving far from its point of origin. Figure 3 shows the result of this data search. The total lead footprint at Tanumbirini is larger in area than that at Mt Isa to the east, and comparable in magnitude given that Tanumbirini is all under cover and Mt Isa is exposed and has been mined for approximately a century. Lead high values to 46.2 ppm characterize Mt Isa and 34 ppm characterizes the

Tanumbirini area. Auburn Resources subsidiary Pennant Resources immediately lodged 11 Exploration Licence applications over the area as shown (see also Figure 2 ).

More detailed investigation of the NAGS data sets further confirmed the large area of base metal anomalism at Tanumbirini. Examining the data sets for lead and copper by Mobile Metal Ion™ (partial leach) geochemistry indicates an even larger anomalous footprint at Tanumbirini, with a significant indication of copper on the western section of the project area (see Figures 4 and 5 ). Highest copper in the unpolluted Tanumbirini area is 4310 ppb by MMI™. This compares to a high of 11,600 ppb in the polluted tailings creek at Mt Isa, but otherwise the Mt Isa area high is 2970 ppb. Copper in a blue copper sulphate stained polluted creek at the Mt Oxide mine is off scale at >20,000 ppb, but is otherwise 2 – 3,000 ppb in the Mt Oxide Gunpowder copper district.
IOCG Targets
Coinciding with the timing of DGR’s research, Greatland Gold plc announced its Havieron IOCG discovery at the Paterson Ranges about 40 kms east of Telfer. Noting that Greatland had previously announced that anomalous rare earths in soils were an exploration tool for IOCG deposits, DGR went back to the NAGS data sets to search for rare earths. As shown in Figure 5 (below), rare earths point to a massive IOCG target zone on the western section at Tanumbirini (yet to be supported by gravity and magnetic data).

DGR therefore considers that in the Tanumbirini Project Area the company has secured two new potential mineral fields:
-
A pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin of the broader McArthur Basin prospective for lead zinc deposits at Tanumbirini East; and
-
An iron oxide copper gold target area at Tanumbirini West.

Figure 6 is a composite diagram incorporating mapped fault structures and EM supported geology on a magnetic image, indicating the interpretation of a fault bounded pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin prospective for lead zinc deposits on the east, and iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) targets on the west. The stand out feature through Tanumbirini is an 80 km long magnetic terrane boundary (shaded in purple), and which DGR considers is the source of the copper‐gold‐uranium‐molybdenum‐rare earth anomalism. The soil geochemistry and EM data from the Geoscience Australia surveys adds to an already extensive knowledge of surface geology and faults in the area, as well as available detailed magnetic data and a general understanding of the local stratigraphy.

Auburn Resources CEO Greg Runge said “ the identification of these potential large new mineral fields in the Northern Territory is a credit to the efforts of the team at Geoscience Australia and the detailed interrogation of the GA data sets by DGR Global geoscientists.”
“The Auburn Resources Tanumbirini Project adds significantly to the compelling story already in place for the success of the proposed IPO and ASX listing for Auburn Resources in 2019” he noted.
