Author: Teale, G.S.

Exploration, initially looking for rare metal elements within beryl, tantalite and ilmenorutile suite mineral occurrences, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric breccia structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village and Umberatana Homestead. Work comprising petrography, rock chip sampling, stream sediment sampling, geological mapping and trenching revealed only weakly anomalous geochemistry. Deposits of vermiculite commonly encountered during this work were too fine grained to be of economic value.
