9 vertical rotary drillholes, with bottom-hole coring, were drilled along a combined ground magnetic and gravity survey traverse extending from Mount Eba to Rocky Hill, to provide true information on concealed Mesoproterozoic sediments and volcanic rocks. Dacites of the Gawler Range Volcanics, lithic sandstones of the Pandurra Formation, dolerite of the Gairdner Dyke Swarm and a probable weathered ultramafic rock of uncertain age were recovered. These rocks are overlain by Jurassic Algebuckina Sandstone in the east, and by variable thicknesses of Tertiary and Quaternary sediments. The area has potential for nickel, chromium, platinum-group-element, or possibly, gold, tin or lead-zinc. Further drilling is recommended. Aerial magnetic and gravity contour maps from surveys previously conducted for Amoco are presented.
