This report summarises work undertaken by Khalkeus Pty Ltd on EPM 25952 from the grant of tenure to the end of term when the tenement expired on 28/02/2021. This tenement was selected to evaluate the potential of dolomite deposits for use as an agricultural industrial mineral. Work conducted during the term of the tenure included reconnaissance field evaluation, rock chip geochemistry, reverse circulation drilling, and pitting. The programs indicated that the tenement hosts a significant quantity of carbonate rock. Further evaluation is required to confirm the exact quantities of high-quality magnesian dolomite. Plans were made to take a bulk sample, but stalled when the landowner requested the sampling be deferred due to a planned sale to the property. Efforts were made to seek a strategic partner to support the next level of investment in evaluation. Whilst various parties found the project to be of technical interest, industrial mineral companies were generally found to be looking for a more advanced projects. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to discontinue the project and let the licence expire.
