Exploration for possible economic brown coal occurrences within inferred concealed northern extensions to known coal-bearing Triassic intramontane basins in the Leigh Creek district has consisted of the conduct of semi-detailed, 1 km x 500 m gravity surveys (1632 stations read over various prospects) and limited exploratory rotary mud drilling (20 open holes for a total penetration of 3590 m). None of the drillholes completed in areas north of Leigh Creek met with carbonaceous strata of any interest. However, a number of drillholes put down in the Hawker region did encounter coal. The most notable intercept was made in hole H11-1, which intersected a single continuous 27 m thick seam of brown coal below 149 m depth. Growing corporate financial constraints during the latter half of 2009 led to a decision being made in October to terminate this exploration project.
