Annual and Final Report for EL 1426 Green Ant Creek for year ending 07-08-1980.

Abstract

This area is within Waggaman Goldfield. The Tindall Limestone is being examined for potential use in cement or quick lime manufacture. The area contains Ooloo Limestone, Jinduckin Formation (limestone lenses) and Tindall Limestone, but much of the EL is obscured by cover. Exploration during the reporting period included further surface sampling. Drilling was deferred. Additional samples were taken from existing costeans and pits in the northern area of most interest. Generally, limestone in the area is too high in silica and magnesium.
