RB 49/00001 Supplementary gravity traverses over Bungalow aeromagnetic anomaly near Cowell, Eyre Peninsula.

Author: McMutrie, I.H.

Supplementary gravimeter traverses have been run over the strong Bungalow aeromagnetic anomaly to further define it. Earlier in the year a percussion drilling programme was carried out over the same area. In the light of both sets of results it is now suggested that the magnetic anomaly is caused by the presence of hidden magnetite, and that the coincident gravity anomaly can possibly be attributed to the occurrence of bands of more dense rock (with which the magnetite is associated) within the country rock. Profiles of gravity values obtained by the latest work are given, but no recommendations for further investigations are made.
