The work described in this report forms part of the uranium investigation being conducted by the Commonwealth Government for the British Government. The work was carried out at Mt. Painter from 7th February to 26th March, 1945, following prior geophysical work. This report covers work including setting up and calibrating the assay equipment, and testing 100 samples from the Mount Painter No. 6 workings and 12 samples from East Painter No. 1 adit. In addition, some field work was carried out on Radium Ridge using a new type of portable equipment. The report is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the assay work and the second with the field work.
