In March 1955, Mr. C.T. Beaty of 60 Beatrice Street, Prospect, submitted a sample of high-grade specular iron ore from Section 46, Hundred of Minburra. The sample was taken from an occurrence extending over twenty acres. It was decided to survey the area, which had been visited by R.L. Jack (Deputy Government Geologist) in 1929, and briefly reported on in Mining Review No. 51, p. 63. The writer and J.F. Saunders, Licensed Surveyer, visited the area on 5th and 6th July, 1955. Hospitality at Yalpara Station was kindly provided by Mr and Mrs L.D. Miell. A contoured map was prepared showing outcrops and a cross section drawn. Samples were taken for assay and a diamond drill hole site was pegged. A reconnaissance survey of the surrounding area was made.
