Gardner, D.E.

Abstract

Geiger-counts exceeding 4 times the background-count in the area were obtained early in 1953 by Mr. S. Tennyson at 6 localities along shear-zones 3.75 miles south-west of the bridge across the Edith River on the Stuart Highway. The area was inspected by R.S. Matheson and D.E. Gardner during May, 1953, and mapped later in the month in a plane-table survey by D.E. Gardner and N.O. Jones. Samples were taken from each of the localities where high geiger-counts were obtained, and then uranium-oxide content was determined radiometrically at Darwin. A base-line was pegged to facilitate geophysical investigation of the area.
