A summary of their report: <br /> <br />Coal beds: are present qut not in commercially <br />feasible deposits. <br /> <br />Uranium: deposits unlikely to be present at Pot Hook <br />Reservoir basin and not present at Sandstone, <br /> <br />Oil and gas: prospects for discovery poor at Pot Hook <br />Reservoir basin; natural gas could possibly occur <br />beneath Sandstone Reservoir basin, but production <br />could be achieved by directional drilling if <br />necessary. <br />
