Report on examination of specimens of mill products from mines at Broken Hill

In connection with the search for uranium in Australia samples of mill products from producing mines have been examined for radioactivity by the Bureau. Amongst these were several samples from mines at Broken Hill. A preliminary examination showed that the uranium content of the samples was certainly much less than 0.01 per cent. To obtain more accurate data, the samples were re-examined by more sensitive methods, and the results of these are tabulated below.
