Full particulars of the locality, depth and results of these borings are given in the Annual Report of the Secretary for Mines for the year 1921. The total expenditure, after allowing for amounts realised by sales of oil, plant and machinery, was approximately 2564,000. At only two of the 11 borings was oil found in appreciable quantities; both these wells have now been disposed of, and, so far as His Majesty's Government are concerned, the operations are at an end.
