EPM 26174 Prickly Bush project was obtained to explore for a range of different styles of mineralisation. Exploration work from 4 August 2017 to 3 August 2022 has focussed on phosphate mineralisation in the along the margins of the Cambrian Georgina Basin and base metal mineralisation within the Proterozoic in areas of the tenement with less than 200 m of Phanerozoic sediments. The potential for rare earth element (REE) accumulation in the phosphorite deposits was also assessed. Desktop studies have concluded that the EPM has little potential for economic copper - gold mineralisation that could support the current mining operations. The EPM was surrendered 3 August 2022.
