TARGET: Sedimentary uranium in the Tertiary Narlaby Palaeochannel, 30 km east of Ceduna; and regolith kaolinite formed from weathered Proterozoic basement granite. EXPLORATION: A thermoluminescence study of sediments in the most prospective portion of the Narlaby Palaeochannel was carried out as part of a university student's thesis. Subsequently, reverse circulation drilling (5 holes totalling 92 m) 30 km north of Nunjikompita was undertaken to search for buried kaolinite. RESULTS: Kaolin in excess of 8 m thick was intersected in 3 holes. Testing indicated that it was not suitable for paper coating or porcelain applications.
