HIGHLIGHTS: • Davenport continues working with German authorities to pioneer the pathway within the legislative framework to achieve drilling approval • Grafentonna historic drillhole data analysis for an exploration target close to finalization • Planning near completion for extended geophysical survey at Southern Cross Bore • Ongoing identification and evaluation of opportunities to advance the Company’s objectives including expanding and improving the potential of existing projects. Germany South Harz Potash project Davenport holds two potash exploration licences in Germany’s Thüringen State. The licences cover a combined total area of 457 km2 on the southern section of the South Harz potash basin. Historic drilling and mining in the basin demonstrate that the licences are underlain by a continuous potash horizon. Küllstedt Davenport’s consultants ERCOSPLAN estimated an Exploration Target on the Küllstedt licence (Davenport Replacement Prospectus 24 October 2016) of 4-5 billion tonnes of potash mineralisation with a grade range of 7.2% K2O to 25% K2O. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource. There is significant goodwill regarding Davenport’s exploration plans and as there has been no potash exploration in the region since the closure of the industry after German reunification in 1991,Davenport is working with all levels of authority to pioneer the pathway within the legislative framework to achieve drilling approval. Progress over the March quarter includes: • Ground checking access conditions at planned drill sites; • Determining land ownership at drill sites; • Meetings with municipal and mining authorities; • Tender proposals received from qualified drilling companies; • Data collection and evaluation for an Environmental Impact Assessment. |
Davenport Resources Ltd
April 2017
Additional meetings with regional authorities are being conducted through April before determining if there is a requirement for a public community meeting before submitting a final drilling approval application to the Mines Authority.
Gräfentonna
ERCOSPLAN are close to completing the analysis of previous drill holes on the licence. Most of the holes were for hydrocarbon exploration, however, as they intersected the potash horizon, it is believed there is sufficient data to establish an Exploration Target on the Gräfentonna licence.
Australia
Southern Cross Bore Project
The Geographic Information System (GIS) over the Southern Cross Bore project tenements (EL28045 and 30090) has been rebuilt using all available historic exploration data. Davenport has engaged Southern Geoscience to re-interpret the Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic System (VTEM) and magnetic survey completed in 2013 over EL28045 with a focus on the Johnnies Reward area. Johnnies Reward has been extensively drilled in the past, however, it is geologically complex and new insights are required to achieve effective targeting of future drilling. The new interpretation now being finalised incorporates lithological information and interpreted mineralization envelopes from previous drilling to model the location of conductive plates that may represent untested mineralization.
Review of past exploration over EL30090 shows that it is sparsely explored. Historically, several campaigns of stream sediment sampling followed by some soil sampling traverses has shown possible anomalous areas and indications of alteration often associated with Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralization. Despite the Arunta region being recognized as highly prospective for metals and gold and the proximity of Johnnies Reward in adjoining EL20845 there is no known drilling on EL30090. Apart from very wide spaced government geophysical data, there are no detailed geophysical surveys. Davenport is using the knowledge gained from interpretation of the VTEM and magnetics with the drilling at Johnnies Reward to plan a major geophysical survey over EL30090.
Corporate
During the quarter the company appointed Chris Gilchrist as a Non Executive Director of Davenport. (ASX Announcement 28 February 2017)
The Company seeks and monitors opportunities relevant to its objectives. Opportunities may include expanding and improving the potential of existing projects. The Company may engage in discussions with third parties, undertake preliminary investigations, and consider the appropriateness, possible structure and any applicable regulatory requirements in respect of potential opportunities when identified. If a proposal advances, details would be announced in accordance with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations
