The southern portion of the Mount Painter Inlier contains large volumes of granitic breccia of uncertain origin. 3 vertical exploratory diamond drillholes were sited near Mount Gee and Mount Painter to determine the depth of this breccia, and to obtain information about the nature and controls of its contained uraniferous haematite mineralisation. BFD1 entered net-vein fractured and chloritised basement at 5.11 m, and bottomed in similar rock at 36.87 m. MGD47A cored chloritised breccia to 144.88 m, where haematitic breccia was encountered which continued to the hole's total depth of 169.70 m. MGD151 cored granitic breccia to 148.60 m, where it entered chloritic breccia that continued to 179.80 m: below this a 68.25 m thick haematitic breccia was encountered, resting directly on schistose and granitic basement. The hole bottomed in aplite at 291.55 m. Diagnostic evidence for the origin of the breccia was not found.
