TARGET: Heavy mineral sands in the Eocene Hampton Sandstone of the Eucla Basin. EXPLORATION: A review of Landsat data, aerial photographs and topographic maps to located fossil Tertiary coastal strandlines, plus reverse circulation drilling (97 holes totalling 1953 m; maximum depth 31 m). RESULTS: Only traces of heavy minerals (maximum 0.5%) were observed in non-prospective aeolian and lacustrine sediments of Quaternary and late Tertiary age. The target Eocene sands were not intersected.
