A report of apparent volcanic activity in the vicinity of Long Island.

High Geiger readings in the vicinity of the Number 1 prospect were first obtained by Sidney Fabian (a prospector for Northern Uranium Development) who drew my attention to this fact and showed me the area on Sunday 14th November, 1954. No detailed work was done. The area was re-visited by the author on Tuesday, 23rd November, 1954. It was on this date that the region of radio-activity and the rock responsible for it were established. The Number 2 prospect was discovered independently by the author on Tuesday 23rd November, 1954, while prospecting along the line of the South Alligator Fault Zone.

The George Creek Uranium Prospect is located 80 miles from Darwin and 9 miles from Adelaide River southwards along the Stuart Highway. It is situated on the side of a hill a few hundred feet west of the highway. The regional geology was mapped by field parties of the Bureau of Mineral Resources during 1954, and will be shown on the Burnside (West) 1-mile sheet. At the prospect, geological and structural investigation is in progress. A radiometric grid survey of the George Creek Prospect was carried out during the week ending 22nd October, 1954.
