Annual report on area retained July 1985 to July 1986

Abstract

(i) Significant concentrations of tin are being shed from the Culien Granite over a potentially wide area, (ii) Alluvium in the creek systems may be of sufficient volume to supply a tin treatment plant, (iii) A programme of systematically panning recent stream gravels should recognise broad areas of interest, (iv) Testing could then proceed in promising areas with the excavation of test pits to determine gravel volumes and to obtain bulk samples for grade estimation.
