Lakekamu Goldfield

THE chairman of directors of Guinea Gold N.L. (Mr. C. V. T. Wells) re ported to the 17th general meeting of shareholders in that successful company, held in Adelaide on November 30, that a large and well-equipped party, under the direction of Mr. J. Nason-Jones, was now engaged in making an examination, with bores and drills, of the 7000 acres recently pegged out by the company in the Lakekamu district, Central Papua.

Mr. Wells laid emphasis on the fact that, while the directors regarded the area as sufficiently valuable to justify examina tion, no data to indicate the actual value of the area would be available for some time. Mr. Nason-Jones had advised that he would leave Papua at the end of De cember and make a hurried trip to Ade laide, to report personally on the progress of operations.
