Abstract
Ward (1980) described the exploration of the Okoy geothermal field. Resistivity surveying using Schlumberger traverses has covered an area of approximately 800 km2 in the southern part of the Island of Negros. Hot springs and other thermal manifestations (Fiq. 1) occur in the Okoy valley, Valencia and at Tabac Magaso, Dauin.
Initial shallow exploratory drilling indicated a possible sub-surface flow of hot water in the Okoy valley. Further deep exploratory drilling to the West has located two high temperature reservoirs.
