Abstract
A small resistivity survey of the Kaitoke Valley geothermal prospect on Great Barrier Island has shown that the thermal springs in this valley are located over a shallow, concealed outflow of thermal water. still unknown but i t is likely that deeper thermal waters ascend to about sealevel in the direct vicinity of the M t. Hobson Caldera, a recently detected rhyolitic volcanic centre of inferred Pliocene age. exists directly beneath the thermal springs.
