Uranium Galore Means Riches In Abundance
FROM M. KING WOOD
Sydney, June 25.
If uranium is really going to be the coal and oil of the future, then it looks as if we have some- thing. Scarcely a month has passed in the last two years without an announcement of a new find, and Rum Jungle, in the Northern Territory, is still the richest known deposit in the world.
This week came word of three more finds- one in New South Wales, one in Queensland, and the other in South Australia.
The Premier of South Australia, Mr Playford, telling of the new find in that State, said that ex- perimental drilling since March had disclosed that the field, spread over 500 square miles, shows pro- mise of many millions of tons of uranium ore.
