The Finniss Range Project is located approximately 50 km south of Darwin; roughly 20 km southwest of Berry Springs/Tumbling Waters.

Rare element pegmatites that crop out in the area form the Litchfield pegmatite belt. The Litchfield belt is divided into the more prominent Bynoe Pegmatite Field, and the less significant Wingate Mountains pegmatite district.

The Bynoe pegmatite field is 70km in length and 15km in width. All pegmatites are believed to have been derived from the Two Sisters Granite (Ahmad 1995), which is considered to dip to the east under the Burrell Creek Formation, below the exposed pegmatites. The pegmatites typically occur in clusters, and six pegmatite groups are recognised within the Bynoe field; The Kings Table, Observation Hill, Walkers Creek, Labelle, Leviathan, River Annie Group.

First pass exploration for rare element pegmatites conducted on the project area included an extensive soil sampling, rock chip sampling, mapping and RAB drilling program.

Anomalous soil geochemistry and encouraging rock chip results at Sues, Rocky Ridge, A1 and A2 indicate the possibility for rare metal pegmatites in the area. Encouraging results were also received from at least seven parallel, north-easterly trending pegmatite dykes at the Archer prospect (max 1657 ppm Ta, with 42 samples > 100ppm Ta).

The Mt Fitch Copper-uranium resource is located immediately east of the project area within the Rum Jungle Uranium Field. The potential for uranium mineralisation to be located in the south eastern portion of the project area will be tested by reconnaissance sampling and regional EM surveys in the coming 2008 field season.

Haddington’s strategy for the project is to further delineate and prioritize the numerous geochemical anomalies with an extensive rock chip, soil and mapping program over various prospects defined by work during 2006 and 2007.

Targeting of interpreted EM targets beneath 'black soil' horizons will be undertaken with proposed reconnaissance aircore drilling. Comprehensive data review of the recently acquired tenements surrounding the Bynoe tantalum resource will also be completed.
