EL 4355 Mt Gee South Australia
Declaration of Environmental Factors
In accordance with the new conditions attached to EL 4355 Marathon lodged a DEF with PIRSA. The first DEF was submitted on 20th November 2009 to obtain permission to conduct low-impact, non-invasive exploration activities including geological mapping, stream sediment sampling and helicopter supported ground gravity surveying. The DEF was resubmitted in April 2010 in response to comments from PIRSA and DEH. The approval was granted on 10[th] June 2010.
Validation of the Gamma Ray Spectrometer readings
No mapping work has been carried out in EL 4355 for this quarter while waiting for the DEF approval. However, rock chip samples collected from previous mapping in collaboration with Tübingen University students have been assayed. Ten samples from Shearadean prospect were sent to the laboratory, as the readings from the RS-230 Gamma Ray Spectrometer needed to be validated. Results in Figure 2 show a very good correlation between the laboratory assay and the spectrometer readings.
