In assessing the possible resources even apparently low-grade areas, e.g., from Abut Head, south of Ross, to Point Elizabeth, north of Greyrnouth, have been considered. While not immeditely interesting for its ilmenite content, this whole locality also contains small amounts of magnetite, gold, and radioactive minerals, and some sections may possibly be worked at some future date for all the economic minerals.(Nicholsen et al, 1958)
