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.
