Four deposits in the Wadi Bidah district of southwestern Saudi Arabia were explored during the period 1972-1974. The work consisted of geologic, geochemical, and geophysical investigations and diamond drilling in the subsurface. Thirteen holes were drilled, aggregating a length of 2,397 m.

A theoretical basis for exploration for native copper in northern Wisconsin
Walter S. White
1978, Circular 769
Exploration for native copper in the Keweenawan lavas of northern Wisconsin has been concentrated in areas of relatively shallow overburden that have sparse to numerous outcrops. Lack of success of this exploration suggests that if large deposits, comparable to those of northern Michigan, are present, they are more likely to...
