125. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what success has attended the exploration for columbite-tantalite undertaken by Kenna-metals International S.A. (Inc.) in British Guiana; and how long the exploration has been proceeding.

Mr. Lyttelton

The firm found some columbite-tantalite in the area of their exclusive permission but abandoned exploration in June, 1953, after 10 months' work.
