194 stored groundwater samples taken from CSR's exploratory drillholes put down on the southern Stuart Shelf after 1973 have been analysed for copper and zinc, plus also lead on occasion, and another 84 such stored samples dating from 1977 were recently tested for uranium, in view of the Olympic Dam mineral discovery. Based on statistical analyses of the groundwater assay data, it seems that copper and uranium concentrations are significantly higher near known copper deposits. Associated increased zinc contents are present in some places. Significant values are found only within 20 km of Mount Gunson, the majority occurring in 2 belts trending north-west and south-east away from the location of the minesite ore concentrator.
