A reconnaissance magnetic survey of an area southwest of Brown's workings, Rum Jungle, N.T

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

During the 1952 field season a series of test traverses using magnetic and self-potential methods was carried out over the known radio-active deposits in the Rum Jungle area, to discover whether any definite anomalies were associated with surface showings of radio-active minerals. In the course of the magnetic work in Brown's area, a major magnetic anomaly was discovered south-west of the workings, and a reconnaissance magnetic survey was carried out in order to obtain information on its extent. [Technical details and the preliminary results of the survey are discussed in this report].
