The area was divided into two sections: a northern one held for the most part by the Queanbeyan Council, and a southern section at present held privately as a grazing lease. "Indicated" reserves, based on the present quarrying level, of 170,000 cub. yds were established in the northern section. Most of this material will be of the same quality as that being quarried at present; some of the material towards the southern boundary of the lease will however be harder and require more blasting. In the grazing leases "inferred reserves" of 140,000 cub. yds. were delineated. It is expected that this material will be quite suitable for road making but may be slightly inferior in sizing to the material at present being quarried; also it may require more blasting in some portions than the material being quarried at present; it will carry a higher average overburden than the Queanbeyan lease. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[149.1, -35.5], [149.3, -35.5], [149.3, -35.3], [149.1, -35.3], [149.1, -35.5]]]} 149.1 149.3 -35.5 -35.3 AU-NSW Earth Sciences GA Publication Published_External Record geology resource assessment rock properties Download the Record (pdf) documentDigital Download the Record (pdf) PDF Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
