I consider that the fault on the Bright Prospecting Company’s adit at 
3;790 feet has faulted the reefs, and that no more reefs will be cut bv 
extending the adit further, the position of the reef being as sketched 
below :— 
Fig. 43. 
The Oriental line should be picked up by driving north along the fault 
or preferably along the reef until it meets the fault (about 70 feet), and 
then along the fault itself. The Oriental reef may be intersected about 
100 feet from the cross-cut, but tfiis distance cannot be estimated with anv 
degree of accuracy, the depth below the old workings being so great. 
In conclusion, I desire to draw attention to the value of the work being 
done by the Bright District Prospecting and Gold Mining Company, in 
proving the reef at a depth hitherto untouched in the locality. In a great 
many cases, reefs have been worked to a depth of 200 to 300 feet, and then 
abandoned owing to the stone becoming unpayable, no attempt being made 
at deeper sinking. The Bright Prospecting Company will prove their reef 
at a depth of 1,200 feet, and if payable stone is found at this depth, the 
result will be very beneficial to the field in general.

The New Moon Reef is situated on the spur between the Ovens River 
and the eastern branch of Growler's Creek, near the head of the latter.
