Plane table mapping, drilling and other information on the Queen of Sheba

Abstract

This is a compilation of data on Queen of Sheba from 1954 to 1978 derived from various files within the Department and includes press clippings, Departmental correspondence, work by Geopeko and commentary by Government geologists. Exploration history is discussed and plane table mapping was undertaken (note only unscaled geology sketch maps are included). The geophysical anomaly was plotted and surface geochemistry contoured. Confusion about the numbering of the early diamond drillholes is solved and some core descriptions are included.
