Greater Challenger Area
 |
Dominion has retained a large ground holding, almost 9,000sq km, within the Gawler Craton region and has developed a very significant regional database and portfolio of targets.
In the past the focus has been on gold exploration, and in recent times the development of the Challenger Gold Operations and evaluation of near mine targets has been, and remains, the main exploration priority. |
However, significant prospectivity exists, not only for gold, but also for gold-copper, nickel and uranium mineralisation within Dominion's tenement holdings. To accelerate the evaluation of this prospectivity, Dominion has entered into a series of joint ventures with companies with the ability to bring, not only additional funding but also specific expertise in the exploration for these commodities.
Eastern Gawler Craton
|
Dominion's ground holdings within the eastern part of the Gawler Craton are prospective for Olympic Dam-style copper-gold-uranium mineralisation. The ground holdings comprise the Bulgunnia Project, where a series of discrete magnetic and gravity targets flank a regional north east trending structure (the Bulgunnia Trough), and the Kingoonya Project, where the main target is a large gravity anomaly.
Dominion joint ventured these tenements with Minotaur Resources sole funding further exploration to earn a 75%-80% interest. |
 |
During 2006 the uranium mineralisation rights within the Bulgunnia and Labyrinth areas were included in the portfolio of newly floated Toro Energy Limited, with Dominion retaining its equity rights to a uranium discovery.
