Abstract
Three bores were drilled at Pukalki, and one of these (RN 16931) was completed as a
production bore. RN 16928 anc RN 16929 were abandoned and capped. All three bores
intersected the Gum Ridge Formation (silicified and unaltered sandstone and siltstone)
overlying the Warramunga Group rocks (porphyry and siltstone). RN 16928 and RN 16929
intersected brackish to saline groundwater (salinities of approximately 7,200 mg/L TDS and
4,200 mg/L TDS respectively). RN 16931 intersected fresh to brackish groundwater during
drilling with a yield during air development of 1 L/s.,
