Geochemical stream sediment sampling for tin, molybdenum and gold at Earea Dam and Glenloth outlined four areas where streams contain anomalous tin. Follow-up bedrock sampling of these areas and investigation of four known prospects narrowed interest to three worthy of drilling. Results from on-site assaying and logging of drill cuttings, are not encouraging. Further investigation of primary tin mineralisation appears unwarranted. Search for alluvial concentrations of tin in Tertiary gravels and present lake sediments is recommended. Exploration for deposits of molybdenum and possibly nickel is recommended.
