Initial sampling (1907) at 53 yds (48 m) in Lang’s? seam. Sections of just under 6’ (1.8 m) were taken indicating that this seam was not being worked by any of the South Coast collieries.

Later (1911) samples were taken at 100 yds (91 m) in the No. 1 (Bulli) seam and at 85 yds (78 m) in the No. 3 (Wongawilli) seam.
