Almost six weeks were spent with the Far North-West party at Granite Downs Station in conducting magnetic and gravity traverses. Work was curtailed before sufficient results could be obtained for an accurate picture of subsurface structure. Gravity calculations have been hampered and are incomplete due to inaccurate base maps. The magnetic work would suggest shallow bedrock between Granite Downs, De Rose Hill Station and Tieyon, between De Rose Hill Station and Mount Cavanagh, and between Umbiarra Well and Tieyon. The gravity work has revealed a large negative Bouguer anomaly of -85 mGals at Granite Downs, and some suggestions as to bedrock configuration between Tieyon and Abminga can be made on the gravity results.
