Very very little looking has been reported. In their defense a lot of this is buried under quite a bit of desert so there's good reason to suspect little would be found. They did to an exhaustive study on the Mena House Gulf Course at the foot of the plateau which was quite interesting. There were a few anomalies that might yield some interesting drill cores.

The real problem is the lack of chemical and elemental testing in the area. Who knows what might show up here.
