E and 132 35? 00?E. The two sections of the Exploration Licence total 61121.6 hectares (235 square miles). Exploration comprised three radon measuring Track Etch and geochemical surveys in the Window 1 , Window 2 and Anomaly 2J areas. Regional mapping of the Barramundie Creek Area with auger drilling totalling 503 m and radon emanometer surveys. Auger drilling totalling 87. 4m was also undertaken to elucidate geology and provide geochemical information in the South Alligator Valley near El Sherana, The three radon emanometer anomalies at Gerowie Creek delineated during 1973 were tested by 532m of rotary-percussion drillirg.
