August 2005 to 10 August 2006. These tenements are centred about 270km east-northeast
of Alice Springs and 150 km southeast of Jervois, Northern Territory. Access is gained via
the Plenty Highway, with a southern turnoff 5km south of Jervois which passes through
Atnetya Land (formerly Atula Station). The Huckitta project is a joint venture between BHP
Billiton and Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania Pty Ltd, where BHP Billiton is the manager of
exploration work. The northern portion of the project area contains outcrop of the
Strangways Metamorphic Complex, with the southern portion overlain by the Mesozoic
Eromanga Basin. Exploration is focused on discovery of Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG)
mineralisation associated with the Proterozoic basement rocks beneath more recent cover.

Abstract:
The Huckitta Project comprised 11 tenements for 12,241 square km and is situated between
200 and 300 km east of Alice Springs. First application for tenure was made on
13/04/2000 (EL22515-517). This final technical report documents all work completed by
BHP Billiton on the Project. The project was a joint venture between BHP Billiton and
Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania Pty Ltd, with BHP Billiton managing the exploration work.
Work on the project included field reconnaissance, a FALCON™ airborne gravity survey,
ground gravity follow-up of targets generated by the airborne survey, and finally diamond
drilling of six targets. Owing to the negative results gained the project was surrendered in
January 2007.

Abstract:
A regional geological assessment of the Harts Range Group identified a number of ultramafic
bodies in EL 22919 but they were considered too small to host economic PGE deposits. The
possible extension of the Illogwa retrograde shear zone into the SW corner of the lease is
prospective for epithermal Arltunga-Winnecke style copper-gold mineralisation. The
prospectivity will be need to re-evaluated if the Harts Range Group are metamorphosed
Centralian Superbasin sediments.

Abstract:
EL 22919 ‘Indiana’ is located approximately 150 km ENE of Alice Springs. The tenement was
granted on 1 October 2002 to Tanami Exploration NL (TENL) and surrendered on 30 August
2005. EL 22919 was explored as part of TENL’s Hart Range Project and as such was
included in regional
prospectivity studies, including assessment of geophysical data. During a regional geological
mapping program 15 rockchip samples were taken from the tenement. No elevated gold
values were returned. Based on a revised understanding of the tenement’s geology and the
lack of encouraging geochemical results, the tenement was recommended for
relinquishment.
