In a search for possible economic roll-front, blanket style uranium deposits within Tertiary sediments in part of the eastern Frome Embayment, the licensee undertook 1:75,000 scale geological mapping and exploratory auger drilling of the Quaternary surficial sediments (78 holes for a total of 2940 feet, average hole depth 38 feet) with associated shallow radioactivity logging and soil gas radon emanometry measurements, plus deeper follow-up reconnaissance rotary drilling (54 holes for a total of 25,260 feet, average hole depth 430 feet) through the underlying target Tertiary sedimentary sequence into the upper part of the Cretaceous Bulldog Shale. All of the rotary drillholes were wireline geophysically logged with gamma ray, point resistivity and spontaneous potential tools. The auger drillhole cuttings were also analysed for a suite of uranium pathfinder trace metals. A six foot - long continuous core was cut over the Bulldog Shale depth interval 500-506 feet in rotary drillhole QDH8. An absence of detectable near-surface gamma radioactivity in the auger drillholes (average background radiation 8 counts per second) meant that the proposed airborne radiometric survey was not performed. Some slightly anomalous radiation, related to lithology, was recorded in the buried Eocene sediments (Etadunna Formation), but no economic mineralisation was found.
