Abstract
The Pilbara goldfield lies in the north-west division of Western Australia within the tropics, and has been described in considerable detail by A. Gibb Maitland in Bulletin 40 of the Geological Survey of Western Australia. Though the chief mineral product at present is gold, the district abounds in other economic minerals, notably ores of copper and tin, and has already become famous as being by far the most important producer of tantalum in the world, the chief source of supply of this metal being the manganotantalite of Wodgina.Keywords
