Report on Geiger Muller survey, Greenwood's camp area, Mount Painter East

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Greenwood's Camp area is situated approximately 1/2 mile east-northeast of the East Painter Camp at the junction of Heighty Creek and an un-named creek along which runs the camel pad to the Mount Painter divide. A reconnaissance survey of the area was made during which a number of small torbernite occurrences were discovered. The area was later mapped in more detail by E. Broadhurst and K. Llewellyn and during the course of their examination the No. 5 prospect was discovered. As a result of his examination Broadhurst recommended that a Geiger-Muller radiation survey should be made of those parts of the area which he considered most likely to contain torbernite or other uranium minerals. The survey under review was carried out as a result of this recommendation. The geology of the area, technical matters, and the results of the survey are discussed in this report.
