The geophysical test survey of this field was commenced on 5/6/45 and operations were terminated on 6/8/46 when it was considered advisable to await the results of the drilling campaign for guidance in planning the future geophysical programme. The most intense work was done on the south-east gossan area where the methods used included, electromagnetic, potential-ratio, spontaneous polarisation, magnetic and resistivity. This interim report is supplementary to a detailed report of the survey and refers in detail only to some of the results on the south-east gossan area.

This report outlines the headings under which mineral statistics might be collected, and the information that is required from metal and mineral producers. Attached are lists of metals and mineral products under the appropriate classes.
