Coarse sands and gravels equivalent to the Parilla Sand Formation outcrop in road and rail cuttings situated 4 km north of Tepko railway station. Selective auger drilling (13 holes for a total penetration of 102.5 m) done on sections 107 & 110, Hundred of Finnis, has indicated that calculated reserves of 464,000 cubic m of coarse construction sand and 187,000 cubic m of fine construction sand are overlain by 124,000 cubic m of overburden. Sieve sizing analyses and petrographic examinations have shown that this sand material is suitable for use in construction works. 82,000 cubic m of coarse sand and 13,000 cubic m of fine sand lie beneath a road which crosses the deposit. It is recommended that approval to extract this material be sought from the appropriate authorities.
