This annual and final report presents a summary of the geological and exploratory activities carried out during the term from 24 February 2010 and ending 23rd February 2015 for EPC 1309, this tenure being in its 5th year of grant.

EPC 1309 is located 15km east of the hamlet of Emmet and 77km west of the township of Blackall. The main access is by the partly-sealed Blackall-Isisford Highway or the Emmet to Yaraka Road which runs west to Yaraka. A sparse network of secondary roads and dry weather tracks are accessible throughout the tenure area and a low-capacity train line bisects the tenure near its southern border, running from Yaraka to Blackall. EPC 1309 is located approximately 255km south-west of the proposed coal haulage rail corridor which is to connect the central proposed coal mines of the Galilee Basin to the existing Newlands rail line, near Denham Junction in the east (Aurizon, 2012).
