The period 17th June to 3rd July, 1953, was spent by the writer on the uranium fields. During this time an inspection was made of all work being carried out by the Bureau; in addition, the investigations by Territory Enterprise Limited at Rum Jungle were shown to the writer by W. Thomas, Resident Geologist.

Report summarises results from the Offshore and Onshore Energy Security Progams undertaken between 2006 and 2011.

This is the second progress report of the coal drilling programme near Ashford in the Parishes of Macdonald and Myall, County of Arrawatta. The first report (Record 1949/106) covered the drilling of D.D.H's 1-5. Drilling was continued to test the coal measures lying between old Ashford Colliery and the Severn River. Five more holes were drilled through the coal seam, north of No. 2 D.D.H. An account of the drilling work is set down in this report, together with a description of local geology, and estimates of the coal reserves in the field.

Consequent upon instructions received from the Superintending Geologist, Mr. C.J. Sullivan, the copper-gold deposit at Yeuralba was visited and inspected on the 9th, 10th, and 11th May, 1950. This geological report gives an overview of the inspection and its findings. The situation, history, workings, general geology, orebody, mineralisation, and production history of the deposit are briefly described.

Geological investigation by the Bureau commenced late in July, 1948, and continued until the end of October of that year. The objects of the survey were to lay the foundation for future detailed studies of the mining field, to study the factors controlling ore localization, to assess the quantity and value of ore exposed to date, and to estimate the potential value of the field. In the search for orebodies, a knowledge of the geological factors can be of great assistance, and it is felt that the information given in this report and in the accompanying plans should be of considerable help in this respect. However, the prospector's methods - loaming, dollying, panning etc. are still quite fundamental to success in a prospecting field such as Tennant Creek and the suggestions made in this report are intended to supplement this type of work. The climate, topography, vegetation, gold production, general geology, and gold deposits of the area are described in this report. Detailed descriptions are given of the individual mines examined to date.

This report has been written as the result of conversations between the writers and officers of the Joint Coal Board in Sydney, Lithgow and Cessnock, and with similar assistance from the Geological Survey of New South Wales. The writers visited the Western and Northern coalfields during August and inspected most of the operating open-cuts. The results of the enquiries are presented in five tables which are set out at the end of this report and which contain, in statistical form, the greater part of all the information elicited. The text matter of the report is explanatory of the tables and also discusses the methods which have been used in arriving at the estimates of coal reserves. In the ensuing discussion emphasis has been laid on coal reserves available for open-cut mining, and all enquiries directed to the Join Coal Board were concerned with open-cut coal only.

Coal outcrops in the bed of a small gully tributary to the Severn River, at a point 7 miles north of the village of Ashford, 36 miles north of Inverell, New South Wales. A small colliery has been developed in the Ashford Seam and worked intermittently until 1925, mainly to supply coal and coke to the Silver Spur mine near Texas, Queensland. The coalfield and extensions to the north and south have been examined by officers of the New South Wales Department of Mines, the Australian Aluminium Production Commission, the Joint Coal Board and others. During March, 1949 a diamond drilling programme was initiated by the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics and both geological and geophysical investigation of the area was carried out by the Bureau during the early phases of the drilling campaign. The geology of the area, nature of the coal, and drilling results are discussed in this report. Logs of diamond drill holes and percussion bores sunk by a former lease-holder are given in the appendix.
