Progress report on the Brodribb Prospect at 31st October, 1953

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The airborne scintillometer survey made in the latter half of 1952 revealed a number of anomalies in the Brodribb area. Detailed geological and geophysical work was carried out on this prospect during 1952 (Frankovich 1953) and some costeans were excavated by bulldozer. In 1953 diamond drilling and further geological and geophysical work was undertaken. During 1953, six diamond drill holes, with a total footage of 1583 feet, were drilled in the Brodribb area and were arranged to make an exhaustive test for the occurrence of a primary uranium deposit of importance in the area.
