From this work Stanton possibly made first acquaintance with Haddon King. Both later developed new theories on ore genesis.

                 4            Roneoed lecture notes on mining geology by J K Guftason and M D Garretty in the 1940s. Both were eminent geologists involved in a four man study of the geology of Broken Hill. These were probably the first courses in mining geology given to that date in Australia.
