The target was possible diamonds, with base metals and coal as secondary interests. Airborne magnetic/radiometric surveys flown for BHP in 1979 identified several anomalies which were interpreted as possibly due to buried kimberlites. Ground magnetic survey follow-up defined targets which were tested during the period January to March 1980 by vertical rotary percussion drilling; in total, 11 open holes for 337.5 m were completed at four anomalies, with a 50 cm long bottomhole core being cut in hole P26. Bottomhole samples were assayed for Cu, Co, Ni and Zn. No significant geochemical results were recorded, and consequented the subject portion of the licence area, comprising the central 81% of the originally granted acreage, was relinquished.
