High Geiger readings in the vicinity of the Number 1 prospect were first obtained by Sidney Fabian (a prospector for Northern Uranium Development) who drew my attention to this fact and showed me the area on Sunday 14th November, 1954. No detailed work was done. The area was re-visited by the author on Tuesday, 23rd November, 1954. It was on this date that the region of radio-activity and the rock responsible for it were established. The Number 2 prospect was discovered independently by the author on Tuesday 23rd November, 1954, while prospecting along the line of the South Alligator Fault Zone.
