Author: Mann, S.T.

Exploration was undertaken for Telfer - style stratabound gold at the contact between the Tapley Hill Formation and the Tarcowie Siltstone, and for placer type gold in glacial sequences such as the Appila Tillite and Wilyerpa Formation (94 stream sediment, 28 rock chip samples and mine sampling). 5 anomalous gold zones were defined. The kimberlite potential was tested by the examination of heavy mineral concentrates from 29 stream sediment samples and 8 soil samples. Results suggested that the now relinquished area is unprospective for diamonds.
