Asbestos has been mined from an open cut in portions 122 and 12 of the Parish of Yulgilbar, County of Drake. There are a few outcrops of rock in the immediate vicinity of the known deposits, and this renders geological interpretation of the area difficult. Because of this an extensive programme of development has recently been undertaken including drilling, trenching, shaft-sinking and driving. The geophysical surveys made were intended to assist the development, where possible, by outlining the probable extent of asbestos deposits, elucidating structural features associated with the deposits, and providing any information that would assist the geological interpretation of the area. The objectives, survey methods, and results of the survey are discussed in this report. Seven accompanying plans are included.
