Greenwood's Camp area is situated approximately 1/2 mile east-northeast of the East Painter Camp at the junction of Heighty Creek and an un-named creek along which runs the camel pad to the Mount Painter divide. A reconnaissance survey of the area was made during which a number of small torbernite occurrences were discovered. The area was later mapped in more detail by E. Broadhurst and K. Llewellyn and during the course of their examination the No. 5 prospect was discovered. As a result of his examination Broadhurst recommended that a Geiger-Muller radiation survey should be made of those parts of the area which he considered most likely to contain torbernite or other uranium minerals. The survey under review was carried out as a result of this recommendation. The geology of the area, technical matters, and the results of the survey are discussed in this report.

Weilmoringle No. 9 Bore is situated about 60 miles northeast of Langbien's Bore. The results from a micro-examination of samples taken from 1650 feet down to 1742 feet are given in the report.

The bore under discussion is the first of a series which is being examined for a microfauna from the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. The samples examined were collected from the surface to the depth of 380 feet. A description of the bore and detailed report of the microscopic examination of the bore samples are given in this report.

Results of a micropalaeontological examination of samples from bores Nos. 3855 and 3859. Samples were from the depths of 7 to 427 feet down and 1 to 977 feet down respectively.

Note that this record includes Record 1945/015 by the same author. In the search for oil in Queensland, Drillers Limited, a subsidiary of Oil Search Limited, Sydney, put down a deep bore at Hutton Creek near Injune, in the parish of Simmie, county of Westgrove and 60 miles north of Roma. Drilling operations, which began in 1935 and ceased in 1938 when the depth of the bore was 4,688 feet, were carried out with a Commonwealth Government plant. The major part of the drilling was done by the percussion method, but cores were taken at various depths down to 4,678 feet. No samples were received for microscopic examination until the bore had reached the depth of 650 feet, but from this depth to the bottom of the bore-hole, 638 samples of cuttings and cores were examined. Core samples were taken at more frequent intervals towards the bottom of the bore-hole than higher up. The results of the study of the cores and cuttings from the bore-holes are described in this report.

The Gawler talc deposit, situated 2 miles south from Ulverstone, Tasmania, was inspected in May, 1944, and report No. 1944/21 of this Branch contains descriptions of geology, ore, occurrence, etc. Since that date further work has been done at the mine and some production achieved. The deposit was inspected again in May, 1945, to bring information up to date. The workings, geology, production, grade, and talc reserves are discussed in this report.

Sediments of Lower Cretaceous age are widely distributed in Queensland, northern New South Wales and northern South Australia. Their distribution is closely linked with the Great Artesian Basin, which covers an area exceeding 500,000 square miles. Many bores have been put down in this Basin to tap the aquifers which are present in the Jurassic rocks underlying the Cretaceous. Much material remains to be examined and a full report will be prepared after the examinations have been completed. This report comprises notes on the source of microfossil material, notes on the microfauna, a list of localities, and a distribution list of foraminifera. A map of the localities from which samples have been examined is included.

The stock saleyards comprise Block 41, Gungahlin district and are on the southeastern side of Federal Highway, 3.5 miles north from Civic Centre. A smaller area on the western extremity of the block, including stock pens, huts etc. is without water supply. The topography, geology and possibilities of obtaining underground water are discussed in this report.

The work described in this report forms part of the uranium investigation being conducted by the Commonwealth Government for the British Government. The work was carried out at Mt. Painter from 7th February to 26th March, 1945, following prior geophysical work. This report covers work including setting up and calibrating the assay equipment, and testing 100 samples from the Mount Painter No. 6 workings and 12 samples from East Painter No. 1 adit. In addition, some field work was carried out on Radium Ridge using a new type of portable equipment. The report is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the assay work and the second with the field work.

The Pannikin Mine is situated on the south side of the Hart's Range about 7 miles southeast of Mount Riddock and about 9 or 10 miles a little south of east from Schaber's homestead. The Elbow deposit is about 1 1/2 miles south-southwest from the Pannikin. The two deposits, and another smaller one in the same locality, were visited on 22nd October, 1944. The accompanying plan of the Pannikin was made with compass and tape. The report comprises notes on the two mica deposits. Accompanying sketch plans of the Pannikin and Elbow deposits are included.
