Statement: The sediment samples were collect by BMR/AGSO field parties 1972-93 by vehicle or helicopter traverse. Samples were sieved at base camp (1972-80) or on site (1990-3) with -180 micron (1972-93) and -1mn (1990-3) fractions collected. Samples were analysed in BMR/AGSO laboratories by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRFS) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) (1972-93), and by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, Analbs, Perth, 1990-3) and bulk cyanide leach for Au (BLEG, ALS, Brisbane, 1990-3). Navigation within the field was by air photo overlays (1972-80) and by GPS (1990-3). Samples sites were translated to the then current 1:100k maps and digitised.
