Geological mapping and gravity traversing were carried out in the Northern Territory to test possible extensions to the Claude Hills nickeliferous ochre occurrence. Two gravity lows were detected, Zone C commencing in South Australia, and Zone D located entirely in the Northern Territory. Two drill holes were put down in each zone. In Zone C, 153 feet of low grade siliceous ochre was encountered near the border, but further east Quaternary sands and gravels were present to a depth of 156 feet. In Zone D no ochre was encountered, the low being caused by Quaternary sediments infilling a depression in the basement rocks.
