line (Figure 2). The survey recommenced in July 2004 and was completed without any further stops for bad
weather.

the completion of the 2003 ANSIR Gawler Craton survey, arriving at Honeymoon mine site on the 7 th August.

Access to the seismic line was via local roads and farm tracks while supplies for the crew were obtained from
