The mining leases are primarily in the blue bits to the north and east on that map in the announcement. Relative to other tenements in the error its quite large. E45/2908 appears to be immediately adjacent to the mining leases.
The tenement seems to have good access to existing roads that run to the Shay Gap mine. The tenement itself takes the land between a river and what appears to be a raised area (picture a flood plain meeting an escarpment). That raised area is where all the mining leases are.
The terrain of the area in the north/west of the tenement where the satellite has identified targets looks more interesting than the south/east parts. That said, there appears to be a fairly significant tributary running right down the middle into the De Grey River. Probably not likely to be doing much drilling there in cyclone season.
