1. SUMMARY
EL 29013 is about 980Km of SSE1680 of Darwin, and about 280km of NNW3400
of Alice Springs, just 100km of west side of the Stuart Highway. Tropical
Resources Pty Ltd applied for EL29013 primarily to explore for Gold, Uranium
and secondly to evaluate the potential for other types of economic mineralisation
such as Iron and Phosphate.
Work during Year 1 of tenure consisted of a review of NTGS data and Open
File Company reports (geological and geophysical), and a short field trip.
Work during Year 2 will include field reconnaissance, data evaluation and
progressing to geological and geophysical survey.
2. LOCATION AND ACCESS
EL 29013 is about 980Km of SSE1680 of Darwin, and about 280km of NNW3400
of Alice Springs, just 100km of west side of the Stuart Highway (Figure 1).
Access is along the Stuart Highway from Darwin. There are several rough road
can be reach to the Lease. Topography is plains, several rivers cross the land.
Access is advisable in the dry season only. The Willowra station is located on
the northwest corner; it can be a stop site during the field work.
The tenement has numerous creeks which can flood in heavy rains during the
wet season.

3. TENEMENT STATUS AND OWNERSHIP
EL 29013 was granted on 16th June 2012 and expires on 15th June 2018 for a
term of six years. It comprises 94 graticular blocks (277.92 sq km). Tenement
reduction for the end of first year was undertaken with 63 of 94 blocks dropped
(figure1) (99.22 sq km). There are no other mining leases or mineral claims
shown within the License boundaries.
Underlying cadaster is Perpetual Pastoral Lease. Landholder is as below: NT
Portion 361, Pastoral Lease 1057,Anningia Anmatjere STUART(Figure 2).
The expenditure covenant set for the first year was $24,100.

4. GEOLOGY
EL29013 is situated within the Aleron Province, a wildly quaternary sedimentary
cover the tenement. The 1:250,000 Geological map covers the tenement area
(Mount Peake, 2005). The bad-rock of the tenement area show as Figure 3.
Figure 3 Geological Map of EL 29013 from 1:2500000 geologic map
The tenement areas lie upon geology of the Arunta Region and more specifically
of the Aileron Province. The Arunta Region is a complex basement inlier in
central Australia that has undergone aprolonged history of sedimentation,
magmatism and tectonism extending from the palaeoproterozoic to the
Palaeozoic. The Arunta Region can be subdivided into the three, largely fault
bounded terranes with distinct geological histories: the Aileron, Warrumpi and
Irindina Provinces.
The Aileron Province comprises greenschist to granulites facies metamorphic

rocks with protolith ages in the range 1865-1710 Ma. It forms part of the North
Australian Craton and is geologically continuous with the gold-bearing Tanami
and Tennant Regions to the north. In contrast, the Warrumpi Province comprises
amphibolite to granulite facies rocks with protolith ages in the range 1690-1600
Ma, and is interpreted to be an exotic terrane that accreted to the southern
margin of the North Australian Craton at 1640 Ma. Several sub-economic
occurrences of copper-lead-zinc, gold, Uranium, tin, tungsten, tantalum, mica,
nickel, chromium and semi-precious stones are known from the Arunta Region.
There is significant potential for gold in the northern and western Aileron
Province adjacent to the Tanami Region, and untested base metal potential in
the Warrumpi Province.
5. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION
Exploration has been carried out in the area since 1973 but just only one
company worked on this area(Some of them show in Table 1), Exploration
primarily involved rock chip, soil and stream sampling for gold and some base
metal analysis.

6. EXPLORATION DURING YEAR 1
During first year, Tropical Resources exploration consisted of historic data
compilation including tenure, datasets, open file reports and geo-referencing of
relevant maps. This enabled an informed review of the tenements prospectively
in regards to Gold and Uranium, Copper, Zinc-Lead, Iron and Phosphate. Field
reconnaissance was also completed.
7. PREPARING EXPLORATION FOR YEAR 2
Working program for Year 2 included:
a) Some geological surveying
b) Proposal Geophysical survey after Geological survey
c) Proposal IP Section survey
Expenditure is expected to be at least $35,000.
8. EXPENDITURE
Expenditure consisted of:

9. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The exploration target is Gold and Uranium, Iron and Phosphate.
However through analysis of historical exploration data and superficial
traversing of EL 29013, most of the area is covered by Quaternary
sedimentary, w i t h no large scale host rock Gold occurrences.
T R C reduced blocks at the end of year 1, from 94 to 31. Next year, TRC

rocks, phosphate, base metals and Iron.
