Geophysical methods have previously been used at Moonta by the Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey. Owing to the uncertainty introduced by the results of the earlier tests, however, it was decided that before any extensive geophysical survey should be undertaken on the area, testing with the potential gradient, electromagnetic, self-potential and magnetic methods should be carried out. This report deals with the results of such tests which were conducted on the field between March 16th and 28th, 1942.
