Ten days were spent in examination of the property, from July 8th to 18th. All accessible underground workings were mapped in detail on a scale of 30 feet to 1 inch and the surface in the immediate vicinity of the mine on the scale of 100 feet to 1 inch. Mr. J.W. Whiting of the New South Wales Geological Survey provided competent assistance during the surface and part of the underground mapping. Mr W.P. Green of Zinc Corporation Limited and his assistants did everything possible to facilitate the examination of the workings. Plans which have been prepared to accompany this report comprise: Surface plan, Plate 1, plans of all levels and of intermediate stopes, Plates 2-8, east-west cross-sections through the lode at 50 feet intervals, Plates 9 to 13, a longitudinal projection of the lode showing the distribution of mineralisation, and a longitudinal section outlining the amount of stoping which has been done, Plates 14 & 15.

A point has been reached in the prospecting of this field where it is necessary to review results and consider future actions. The bore on site A has been completed and Mr. Knight has concluded his preliminary geological survey of the area. The information now available modifies some of our earlier views. The following statement summarises the position.

Two days, November, 10th and 11th, were spent in the Hillgrove area and brief examinations were made of the North Cosmopolitan, Garibaldi, Metz Black Lode, and Damifino Mines, as well as the surface of Eleanora, Freshold, Baker's Creek and other formerly worked lodes. The Black Lode on the Metz side is being worked for antimony, and J. Usher's scheelite mine is in continuous production. Development is proceeding on the North Cosmopolitan and Garibaldi antimony mines, and a little gouging is being done in the Swamp Creek and Baker's Creek gorges.

This lease is situated on the Dividing Range south-west from Musgrave Telegraph Station. The geological notes contained in this report refer to the geology and workings of the Looking Glass mica deposits.

Mount Kitchin lies about thirty miles west from Chillagoe in Northern Queensland and is 13 miles by bush-track south-west from the now deserted town site of Arbouin on Cardross copper field. Six claims embrace the mica deposits at Mount Kitchin, but only three of these could be examined, on the 8th October, 1942, in the short time at disposal. The brief examination of these three claims, namely, "Wonder", "Anniversary" and "Southern Cross" confirms the remarks of Mr C.C. Morton in his report dated 1/5/42 to the Chief Geologist, Brisbane, and it appears that the "Southern Cross" and "Anniversary" claims contain the only deposits which may become producers in the future. When compared with the mica deposits of Central Australia the pegmatite bodies at Mount Kitchin are very small.

This report is based entirely on the following typewritten report obtained from the Mines Department of Tasmania: Scott, J.B. 'Report on Mineral Leases 79 P/M, 30 P/M, 82 P/M, 83 P/M, 78 P/M, 71 P/M, 64 P/M, 65 P/M, 66 P/M, and 107 P/M, King Island, chartered in the name of the Sea Elephant Prospecting Association, 6th December, 1926'. The Sea Elephant tin deposit is situated about five miles west from the Sea Elephant Bay on the east coast, and 16 miles by road from Currie, the chief port on the west coast. The deposit consists of sand and clay overlying tin-bearing drift. A detailed account of the deposit is provided in this report.

The following eleven holes have been drilled: holes Nos. 22-33. Ongoing drilling operations, and the results and conclusions that can be drawn to date are outlined in this report.

In company with Mr. L.A. Richardson an inspection was made of this deposit on Friday, December 4th. The workings were plotted and examined, though these sections off the main drives could not be inspected very thoroughly owing to having no lighting available except matches.

Following a request by the Premier of South Australia an inspection of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was made on December 5th to December 8th, 1941. My opinion was sought chiefly on the probability of there being a considerable tonnage of coal available which could be won by open cut mining, preferably from one section of the field, near Telford Siding.
