Geo-technical core sampling

Core samples from the drilling indicate low to medium bearing shale in the upper levels with high bearing sandstone lower down.


An interesting anomaly: a chunk of shale and quartz pebbles within the sandstone indicates a sudden event - perhaps a flood - in this area a long time ago.

A zone of transition in the local geology where shale is inter-layered with sandstone.
