Abstract: The file discusses possible concessions for red oxide on Dalmah [Dalmā] and Sir Beni Yas [Şīr Banī Yās] Islands, which were under the jurisdiction of the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi (Shaikh Shakhbūt bin Sulṭān bin Zāyid Āl Nahyān).Included in the file is correspondence between the India Office and the Golden Valley Ochre and Oxide Company, which already holds red oxide concessions in the Persian Gulf, regarding its continued interest in expanding its concessions in the region, and making arrangements for its mining engineer at Bu Musa [Abū Mūsā] island, Eric Innes Pocock, to visit the islands and assess their potential.A series of file notes which were maintained as a record of the correspondence in the volume can be found at folios 18-19.Physical description: The main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminated at the inside back cover with 20; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 1-19; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence.
