110 Carpentaria Exploration Co Pty Ltd It holds 6.6% of the Yarramba uranium prospect near Honeymoon, South Australia (1).
A dispute between the partners in the prospect slowed exploration during 1982 and 1983 (2). It also holds 3500 tonnes of U3Og in reserve at the Lake Maitland prospect, 90km north-west of the town of Agnew, Western Australia. (3).
MIM has announced possible economically exploitable reserves at Lake Maitland, but exploitation will probably depend on how (if ever) the Lake Way deposits and the Cultus Pacific claim, also at Lake Maitland, proceed (2).
At the end of 1987 the company opened up a gold mine 100km south of Townsville, Queensland, using both heap leaching and carbon-in-pulp extraction, while the following year it commenced gold mining at Tom's Gully mine in the Northern Territory (3).
