SOUTH GEORGIA MINERALS PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
Project Report No. ! ' released in January 1966, outlined, in general
terms, the purpose, the scope, the background, and the procedures to be followed in this South Georgia Minerals Program.
Project Report No. ~ Echols County, released in May 1966, was the
first technical report of a series to be published as the result of the state-funded program. This report gave, in addition to technical data, procedures and other information concerning the way in which the program was being conducted. These procedures were modified in part in the
counties covered by Project Report No. 1 but the procedure flow chart
remains essentially the same. Project Report No. ~covered only Echols County, but a relatively extensive drilling program had been carried out in the county primarily due to its proximity to recent and large phosphate operations in Hamilton County, Florida.
Project Report No. 1 presents information obtained from core-drilling
in Brooks County - two (2) holes; Camden County - two (2) holes; Clinch County - three (3) holes; Effingham County - one (l) hole; Lanier County seven (7) holes; Lowndes County - seven (7) holes; Thomas County - one (l) hole; Ware County - one (l) hole. Effingham No. l was the first hole drilled under the minerals program and was used to test procedures for later work. Figure l is an outline map of counties in the Coastal Plain with a location index to holes drilled and results reported to date.
Drilling reported in Project Report No. 1 was both by contract drilling
and a state-owned rig. Contract drilling was terminated as soon as feasible after the State's equipment was operable.

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
The objective of the South Georgia Minerals Program is, simply, to determine the existence, preliminary quality-quantity data, and approximate location of mineral deposits with potential for establishing new, or expanded, minerals industries in the state.
The information in this report is confined to the results from core samples obtained from the twenty-four (24) holes drilled, amplified by analyses of wash samples from the Southern Railway System from Clinch and Lowndes Counties. A complete minerals-geologic interpretation of the data involves consideration of the geologic structure of the county and of the surrounding region. No attempt to date has been made to present geologic interpretations.
It should be noted that the southernmost tier of counties east of Grady County, with the exception of Charlton County, have been investigated.
The most promising area in Echols County (Project Report No. g) directed
attention westward into Lowndes County and northward into Lanier Cow1ty. With the "discovery" from Lanier No. 1 hole of high quality phosphate, emphasis was placed on additional efforts in this region to delineate the area of this deposit and its trends.

4
SUMMARY
Of extreme interest is the area between Lanier No. land Lanier No. 7.
Lanier No. 1, in southwest Lanier County, was the "discovery" hole of what appears to be at least ten miles of high quality phosphate ore trending essentially north-south along the west side of Lanier County. Beneficiation
products from cores from this area showed up to 80.4 percent bone phosphate
of lime (BPL). Results of drilling and beneficiation are reported by counties in
alphabetical order. A map showing location of holes for each county is presented with the data obtained from drilling and laboratory studies for each county. Beneficiation studies were restricted to matrices showing about fourteen percent BPL and higher. Core samples showing BPL content down to eight percent may be beneficiated in the future if it is found to be desirable by industry.
Lanier County Of all the holes drilled to date, Lanier No. 1, in the southwest portion
of Lanier County, west of Highway 221, shows the highest purity of beneficiated phosphate for both pebble and concentrate. In the interval between
35 and 50 feet beneath the surface, the +4 pebble was 80.4 percent BPL, the 4 x 8 was 79.5 percent BPL, the 8 x 16 was 67.9 percent BPL, and the concentrates were 77.3 percent BPL. This appears to be a deposit that should
demand the immediate attention of commercial phosphate C'Jmpanies interested in entering into Georgia.
Lanier No. 6, about five miles north of Lanier No. 1, and Lanier No. 7, about five miles further north, were then drilled. Neither Lanier No. 6 nor

Continuation, Summary

Lanier No. 7 contains the amount of pebble found in Lanier No. l. Lanier No. 6 is not quite as good as Lanier No. 7. 'I'he high percentage of BPL in the concentrate in both should encourage industrial testing of the area.

Lowndes County Results from Southern Railway System's L-5, L-8, L-10, and L-11 indicate
a continuation of the "best" area from Echols County (Project Report No. g) into Lowndes County The amount of material from the "wash" samples was insufficient for beneficiation procedures.
The Georgia Tech holes (prefix "Lo" on map) did not reveal commercial phosphate deposits. In holes Lo-1 through Lo-5 concentration was not attempted because of low BPL values in the five-foot sampling. In holes Lo-6 and Lo-7 (Table IX) screen analyses were completed but flotation was not attempted because of high slime values and low BPL values in the 16 x 150 mesh material.

Thomas County A hole approximately two hundred yards due east of a pit worked for
phosphate in the 1890's was drilled in Thomas County. Analyses of the interval from 26 to 38 feet showed rather high phosphate, but it is in a rather stiff clay and the possibilities of it being economic under current processing methods seem somewhat remote.

Clinch County Results from fifty to sixty feet in hole No. 8 drilled by Southern
Railway System (prefix "C" on map) are interesting, but sample size was insufficient for beneficiation studies. Clinch County holes 1, 2, and 3

by Georgia Tech (prefix "Cl" on map) did not reveal economic phosphate deposits.

Other Counties (Brooks, Camden, Effingham, and Ware) Fourteen percent BPL was used as the minimum BPL for processing matrix
through the flotation procedure. Cores drilled in these counties exhibited BPL content well below this minimum level, and beneficiation work was not deemed desirable.

PROCEDURE
A diagram of procedure is given in Figure 2. Locations of core drilling operations are selected by using available data from prior investigations, electric and gamma-ray logs of existing holes, and field investigations. The location of each hole is determined by the Project Geologists and the program is modified as new information is gained. Drilling is currently to one hundred feet as this is beyond the maximum depth of mining in Florida. The top of the Tampa Limestone proved unreliable as a structural guide; hence, drilling to this formation was discontinued.
A minimum size of 2 7/8 inch diameter cores was deemed necessary for
study and analyses. Core barrels and drilling muds were varied to meet changing sedimentary conditions. Throughout the areas drilled, it was found that certain layers of the matrix were unconsolidated and watersaturated to such an extent that satisfactory core recovery 1-ras not feasible. In these cases, "wash" samples were taken. In "wash" samples the slimes, and most of the finely divided material, are lost, so that the analyses shown are not completely representative of the "in place" sediments.
Observations and descriptions of the samples were made in the field and recorded (lithologic logging), after which the samples were labeled, encased in plastic to preserve the moisture content, and taken to Georgia Tech for study, processing, and storage.
Three types of instrumental "logs" were obtained from each hole: earth resistivity and induced potential, called electric logs, which together provide an indication of sand, shale, and the content and porosity of the earth throughout the hole; and a gamma-ray log which, by measurement

of radiation emission, permits estimation of the amount of phosphorite and/or certain heavy minerals present.
Upon arrival of the samples at the Georgia Tech laboratories, analyses were made to obtain representative lithologic logs of each hole over its entire length.
The procedure for handling cores outlined in Project Report No. ~ has been modified on subsequent holes. Practice now is to take, normal to the length, a one-inch diameter sample through the center of the core at one-foot intervals. Five one-inch samples are combined and thoroughly mixed to form a representative sample for the five-foot interval. However, it will be noted in the description of cores that five-foot intervals were not universally used due to either (1) incomplete core being obtained or (2) a quite visible matrix contact where it was better to get a representative sample of the matrix irrespective of a five-foot interval. A fourteen percent BPL by weight, or higher, a representative sample was
processed, as shown in Figure 3, for screen sizes by weight and flotation
concentrate. Chemical analyses were made on each fraction. Heavy mineral determinations were made on some of the Lanier County
holes but were later discontinued because of the small amount of heavy minerals apparent in the cores. The extensive petrologic detail presented in Project Report No. ~ was curtailed in order to give more effort on the drilling program.

Chemical Analyses Sample Preparation All samples are analyzed on a dry basis (} one hour at 110 C)
using portions quartered from larger amounts of cuts from the crude sand or clay and from the separate portions resulting from screen analyses and treatments performed in metallurgical laboratory processing. Grinding is performed by hand with a porcelain mortar and pestle, and by an electric mortar grinder with an alumina mortar and pestle.
Methods of Analyses 1. Acid Insoluble Residue - Acid insoluble residues on all of
the smnples reported were determined by a method adapted from the method for sand and insoluble silicates given on page 30 of Methods Used and Adopted by the Association of Florida Phosphate Chemists (1960). Thirty milliliters of concentrated hydrochloric acid and ten milliliters of concentrated nitric acid were used to digest 0.5000 or 1.0000 gram portions of sample until red fumes were no longer evolved and the solution became clear. The solution was diluted to 250 milliliters with distilled water and filtered through a Whatman No. 40 paper. The solid remaining in the beaker was transferred to the paper and rinsed several times with distilled water. The filter paper and residue were ignited to a constant weight at 800 C in a muffle furnace. The filtrate is reserved for wet chemical phosphorous analysis. The percent acid insoluble residue was calculated from the formula:

Percent acid insoluble

weight of ignited solid x 100 weight of sample

2. Bone Phosphate of Lime (BPL) - Wet phosphate determinations
are performed by a modification of the "Phosphoric Acid (P2o5 ) Tricalcium
Phosphate or Bone Phosphate of Lime (BPL)" method described in Methods Used and Adopted by the Association of Florida Phosphate Chemists (1960), pp. 27-30. This method was adapted from the A.O.A.C. Volumetric Method. The alkali used
is s0-S-270 Sodium Hydroxide Solution N/2 (Fisher Scientific Company) tested
against primary standard grade potassium acid phthalate as each container is opened. Nitric acid, 0.5000 N., was prepared using the standardized sodium hydroxide solution as a secondary standard.
Agreement among duplicate samples was wit ,lin one percent of the phosphate detected. Slight differences in results detected between aliquot portions from the same sample precipitated overnight at room temperature or precipitated for twenty minutes at 50 C are corrected by an arithmetical factor derived from National Bureau of Standards sample l20a aliquots precipitated and titrated among the groups of unknown samples. Calculations for a typical 25 milliliter aliquot portion may be summarized as:

3. Lime (CaO) - Atomic absorption spectrophotometry results
indicate better reproducibility than has been obtained with x-ray fluorescence methods and was normally used. The only exception was when the atomic absorption unit was not in use due to minor repairs. Ten cuts
from La-1 (35 feet to 44 feet) were then determined gravimetrically rather
than by atomic absorption. CaO solutions for atomic absorption spectrophotometry were prepared
by 1:19 dilution of the iron solutions described in Section 4 (below).
4. Iron Oxide (Fe 2o3 ) - Iron oxide analyses were performed on a
Perkin Elmer Model 303 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Standards included specially prepared iron solutions, NBS l20a, Florida phosphate rock. Measurements were performed on solutions prepared by boiling 0.5000 gram samples with 1:1 hydrochloric acid, dilution to one hundred milliliters with distilled water, and filtration through dry Whatman No. 40 filter papP.r.

RESULTS
The data obtained are presented under the individual counties listed in alphabetical order.
It is recognized that in Lanier County, with seven holes, a more valid evaluation of economic potential is possible than from a single hole as in Ware County, or from two holes in Clinch County or Camden County, etc. It should be realized that a single hole neither makes nor condemns a county. In instances where exceptionally good results have been obtained, as in Lanier No. 1, this obviously will attract interest; but conversely, a few poor holes should not condemn an entire county or area.
A location map for each county, a lithologic log for each hole and the
BPL results for sample intervals are given for each hole. Figure 4 presents
the "legend" for the lithological description of the holes. "W. S." in the tables denotes "wash" samples. The "percent BPL" was obtained by chemical
analyses. For Lanier holes No. 1, 6, and 7; Lowndes holes No. 6 and 7;
and Thomas County hole No. 1, results of screening analyses are given, with
flotation results for Lanier County holes 1, 6, and 7.

Apatite

Used in this report to mean the mineral carbonate fluorapatite.

BPL . . . . . . . . . . Bone phosphate of lime (Oa3(Po4 )2 ). Equals percent P2o5 x 2.185.

Concentrate

Fine phosphate product l mm + 0.1 mm in size. Separated from quartz by flotation.

Matrix . . . . . . .

. That part of the calcium phosphate zone from which phosphate particles can be economically recovered. Equal to "ore."

Nodule . . . . . . . Rounded, irregular mass of any size. The term may apply to rock fragments, as well as apatite particles.

Overburden

All rock overlying the matrix.

Pebble

Coarse phosphate product, +l mm in size.

Pellet . . . . . . . . General term for rounded, oviform sedimentary apatite particles, commonly sand to granule in size.

Phosphorite

Rock name, called phosphate rock in the land-

pebble district. Used in this report to denote

a rock or specimen containing substantial amounts

of sedimentary apatite.

Slime . . . . . . . . -0.1 mm material. Includes clay minerals, quartz,

and phosphate minerals (apatite, crandallite,

and wavellite).
