Groundwater sampling, aeromagnetic interpretation, shallow auger sampling and isotope studies were carried out over an area 30 km northeast of Elliston. Heavy mineral concentrates from composite auger samples contained zircon, galena and sphalerite, but lacked kimberlitic indicators. Isotope results were inconclusive, and anomalous Zn, Co and Cu in groundwater was attributed to sulphide formation within Tertiary carbonaceous deposits.
