Author: Parkin, L.W.

Exploration of the uranium discovery at Myponga has been completed. Diamond and wagon drilling, and underground exploration have shown that the mineralisation is too limited to warrant further development. Open cut and underground mining conducted at the No.1 and No. 2 lodes produced a total of 340.41 tons of ore grading on average 8.08 lbs/ton U3O8 [equivalent to 0.36%].
