In response to a request from Mr. W.H. Williams, Director of Mines, Tasmania, a geological survey was made of the asbestos deposits situated near the tunnel on the Emu Bay railway, 5 miles north-east of Zeehan. A programme of investigation was set out involving a detailed survey of the deposit, prospecting and development work, an assessment of potential fibre grades and ore values, and research into milling practice and market utilization of fibre. The geological survey and related investigation, which are the focus of this report, were concerned mainly with the first three items. Three plates, including a geological map, surface plan, and a plan showing underground workings and effective grades, are attached to this report.

In November, 1945, the Department of Works and Housing requested that a Geological Survey be made of a section of the Upper Cotter Valley in which it is proposed to construct a dam. Four possible dam sites were examined along the Upper Cotter River between Bushrangers and Collins Creeks. This report deals with the geology of the area examined with special reference to possible dam sites. The report is also intended as a basis for future regional work in the area lying west of the Murrumbidgee River where little is known of the geological structure and stratigraphical sequence.
