In June and July 1960 a Cessna aircraft of the Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a low-level airborne radiometric survey over Lower Proterozoic rocks known as the Halls Creek Metamorphics, in the Halls Creek area of Western Australia. This survey was the continuation of a survey carried out in 1959 using an Auster aircraft. An area of 818 square miles was surveyed and 9 anomalies were located. The positions of these anomalies are plotted on the map attached to this report. There appears to be little hope of finding a uranium deposit of economic importance in the Halls Creek Metamorphics.
