• Dominant geological feature is the MacDonnell Ranges. The ranges consist of a sequence of metamorphic rocks, intruded by formations like the Teapot Granite.

• Teapot Granite within the MacDonnell Ranges: Source rock of uranium, base metal and Rare Earth Elements.

• Diverse Minerals: Comprised mainly of mid-late Paleoproterozoic mid to high-grade metamorphic rocks. Area hosts a variety of minerals due to its unique geological history. Varied rock formations and processes contribute to mineral diversity. Rocks underwent multiple uplift stages, including the recent Alice Springs Orogeny (400-300MA).

• Mineral Resource Potential: Geological features suggest promising mineral resource opportunities. Geological conditions enhance the likelihood of discovering valuable resources. Mineral-rich geological formations present economic opportunities.

• Rare Earth Prospects: Prospective for high-grade rare earth elements due to Chewings Event influence, evidenced by mineralization at Nolan’s Bore.

• Exploration Focus: Attracts significant exploration efforts due to its geological significance. There has been detailed mapping helps reveal the area's mineralization patterns, with continued exploration aims to uncover valuable mineral deposits.

• Strategic Location: Central Province's position offers insights into the region's geological evolution.

• Sustainable Exploration: Responsible exploration considers the region's geological and environmental aspects.

• Diverse Exploration Targets: The Charley Creek Project focuses on rare earth elements, gold, base metals and uranium, aiming to uncover valuable mineralization prospects.

• Notable Discoveries made by URO: The field trip revealed significant potential for gold and base metals, with remarkable alluvial rare earth targets identified north of the MacDonnell Ranges.

• Conceptual Promise: A conceptual target for hard rock rare earth elements shows promise, necessitating further evidence to solidify its assessment.

• Comprehensive Soil Sampling: Over 1000 soil samples from Quaternary alluvium have been collected for meticulous analysis, playing a critical role in achieving resource compliance before public listing.

• Orogenic Gold Potential: Prospective orogenic gold prospects have been identified north of the Hann Range, supported by indicators like artisanal workings, geochemical markers, and neighbouring intrusives.

• Strategic Sampling Approach: Detailed follow-up sampling of quartz blow samples is employed, featuring fire assay, multi-element ICP analysis, residual soil sampling, and handheld XRF for gold pathfinders.

• Challenges and Solutions: Challenges in exploring the MacDonnell Ranges are tackled by introducing satellite imagery and drone-based hyperspectral analysis for efficient alteration mapping.

• Key Spectral Targets: Quartz carbonate mineralization, sericite alteration, and clay-rich residual soils are focal points for spectral study, enabling precise identification of potential mineral assemblages.

• Radiometric Survey Proposal: Detecting areas with high Thorium through a higher-resolution radiometric survey aids in pinpointing potential mineralization zones.

• Significant Quartz Vein Systems: Quartz/carbonate vein systems show promise, particularly if anomalous gold is confirmed through fire assay.

• Unveiling Base Metal Connections: Residual soil sampling offers the possibility of uncovering links between base metals and buried intrusions. Layered mafics as a copper-nickel targets.

• Comprehensive Spectral Study: Conducting a spectral study across the entire tenement package is anticipated to reveal a wide range of targets, including alteration zones, mineralization, and outcrops.
