I also have have some ARN's in my bottom drawer. I am not surprised when I saw ARN has started to do some work for Narndee project as the area has very high potential for some metals (including gold, nickel and PGEs). As you may know there are many projects and producing mines at Mt Magnet and other places at Murchison.

I have done some research about the area 2 years ago when I was holding Santa Fe Minerals (SFM) which is the neighbour of ARN at the area.

This area is actually very interesting and has important geological settings. It has always been compared with South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex. I have found a document showing all related info (but can't post it here); "Age and significance of voluminous mafic ultramafic magmatic events in the Murchison Domain Yilgarn Craton" (2010)

I believe this area needs a serious exploration activity.

The graphs and maps below are from that study.

The complete Murchison Domain is below.



The whole area is called as Murchison Domain. There is a a lot of major gold and other metal discoveries in the area. It has mainly two igneous complexes.

1) Meeline Suit (Windimurra, Youanmi, etc are in this one)
2) Boodanoo Suit (Narndee is in this one).

The below stratigraphy schema is the comparison of all ingenious complexes of Murchison with Bushveld ingenious complex.





This is the interpreted geological map of the Windimurra, Narndee, Youanmi and Atley Igneous Complexes.
