Note on radioactive deposits Carcoar-Dubbo region, New South Wales, together with observations on the use of helicopters for prospecting for radioactive minerals

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

Part of 4th March, as well as 5th March, were spent at Carcoar, New South Wales, in inspecting the radioactive deposits in that locality and in observing the use of a helicopter, loaned by the R.A.A.F., as a means of prospecting for radioactive minerals. The writer was accompanied by R.S. Matheson of the Geological Section of the Bureau, and J. Daly and a party of geophysicists were also present at Carcoar at the time of this inspection. The present note is supplementary to the report by R.S. Matheson (1952/65) which includes plans of the Carcoar area and the radioactive deposits, and should be read in conjunction with that report.
