TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed in the area extending between Padthaway, Bordertown and Lameroo. EXPLORATION: A sedimentological review of the subsurface distribution of the Pliocene sand sequence, which identified that a possible tombolo structure might have developed in palaeocoastal deposition of that age occurring behind the shoal exposures of basement rocks about Willalooka; and reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling during May 1989 (16 vertical open holes totalling 360 m). RESULTS: A relatively continuous sand blanket of uniform thickness was encountered in most of the drillholes. Traces of heavy minerals were observed in several holes.
