AB  - The EL holders carried out prospecting by the loaming method (or in the vernacular 'looming'). This consists of taking soil samples at intervals, panning each sample, and recording the number of flakes (colors) of gold recorded at each point. A microscope was often used to identify gold flakes. Samples were mainly taken from hand-auger holes and, in same places, a backhoe was used to make trenches. Then, points of any favourable results were flagged. The areas flagged and having gold values detected by such a method are plotted by the writer on the attached map. Gold values on alluvial deposits were leaner than previously expected. A figure of some 2 to 3 gr per cu/metre was anticipated. A test of a similar manner should be repeated but a larger amount of gravel be collected on each sample (about 100 kg each).
