Lake Phillipson North. Progress reports to licence expiry/full surrender for the period 16/3/1981 to 15/9/1982.
Drilling of 3 rotary mud holes totalling 392 m on gravity lows in the Mabel Creek area disclosed only thin seams of lignite at about 66 m depth. Because the holes were not geophysically logged, the coal seam thickness could not be ascertained....-
