A geophysical survey was made in the Rum Jungle district in October and November, 1950, using self-potential and potential-ratio methods. This investigation formed part of a larger programme of geological and geophysical exploration for uranium minerals. Self-potential surveys were made over three areas, namely, Brown's Copper Mine Area, Intermediate Area, and White's Area. A potential-ratio survey was made over only the first of these. This report gives an account of the geophysical work conducted in each of these areas. The results of the survey are described, and recommendations for future drilling work are given, for each of the surveyed areas respectively.
