MANEARRUM PROJECT

- Spirit Hill No. 1 well drilled in 1959 intercepted sphalerite and galena in the Burt Range Fm
- Discovery of gossans at Sorby Hills in 1971 and Sandy Creek in 1972
- Between 1971 1986 Aquitaine discovered 14 pods of mineralisation and delineated significant pre-JORC resources
- 1993-1998 Delta Gold farms into NT Bonaparte Shelf Project, reinterprets Aquitaine data, completes limited geophysics and diamond drilling
- 2004 TNG acquires 100% of NT Bonaparte Shelf Project, now called Manbarrum Project.
