The Westmoreland uranium deposit, Queensland, Australia

Twenty-three years have passed since the initial discovery of uranium mineralization at the Westmoreland Locality in NW Queensland, Australia, in 1956, and the exploration history of the deposit, given in this paper, is a colourful one. Several exploration groups worked the areas at various intervals dictated by the initial discovery efforts and their revival in the late 1960s; financial difficulties; resumption of work by farm-out; disappointment on reassessment of data; further farm-outs; and, finally, resumption of systematic work that located further mineralization and now takes the prospect towards potential feasibility.
