Two seismic refraction tests were carried out near Williamstown to determine whether the method could be used to trace buried river channels in the search for deep lead gold deposits. The bedrock surface could not be detected as the velocity of the alluvium is greater than that of the surface velocity of the bedrock. However, higher velocity layers were detected in the weathered bedrock whose surface configurations might reflect those of the bedrock surface above. In view of the poor velocity contrasts it was decided not to use the refraction method.
