As part of an ongoing search for possible buried economic roll-front or sandstone type Tertiary sedimentary uranium deposits in an area 70 km east of Lake Frome, a detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis was undertaken of rotary drillhole cuttings previously obtained from the Tertiary sequence, to investigate the geological nature of some anomalous radioactivity found in these sediments, and a short campaign of follow-up drilling (12 holes totalling 917.5 m of open hole rotary plus 6.1 m of coring) and geophysical well logging was conducted. The radiometric anomalies so defined were not considered to be of sufficient magnitude to warrant further work (the best corresponding drill core assay value was 400 ppm U3O8 over the upper Eyre Formation depth interval 84.9-85.2 m in hole QDH300).
