2007 BRIEFLY RE-VISITED

  • Establishment of a quality exploration team with the tools to get the job done.

  • Over 22,000 line/km of airborne EM surveys completed across four major projects.

  • Discovery of major new palaeodrainage systems at Marree and Abminga.

  • Exciting new IOCG initiative in the northern Gawler Craton SA.

  • Eromanga now positioned for a dynamic 2008 with drill based exploration programs across multiple projects.
