Author: Fairburn, W.A.

Geochemical soil sampling in the Yudnamutana area, between the smelters site and the Cockscomb mine, has outlined two distinct copper anomalies. One anomaly lies within the boundary of the Wywyana Formation, while the other lies along the contact between the Wywyana Formation and the Paralana Quartzite. The source for the copper in these anomalies is not known. Induced polarisation surveys conducted near the smelters site have produced anomalies on several traverse lines. Two of the most promising of these anomalies have been proposed for drilling. It is recommended that additional geophysical surveys be carried out over the area covered by geochemical sampling, and that the geochemical soil sampling be extended over the remainder of the Wywyana Formation exposed within the reserve.
