LDuring a survey of the groundwater resources of Gove Peninsula conducted by personnel of the Water Resources Branch N.T., intersections of coal were made in several bore holes. In view of the economic importance of a potential source of fuel at Gove, a programme of diamond drilling was planned to investigate the extent and importance of the coal deposits. The coal seams intersected are thin, lens-shaped, low grade and occur at depths greater than 200 feet below the surface; drilling was discontinued after the third drillhole was completed.
