The Set of 2 Lignite Resources of Central Otago is the complete two-volume final report prepared by B. J. Douglas of the University of Otago Department of Geology for the New Zealand Energy Research and Development Committee.
Published in April 1986 as NZERDC Publication P104, the work examines the Manuherikia Group of Central Otago, with detailed coverage of stratigraphy, depositional systems, lignite resource assessment and exploration models. The title pages state that only a limited number of copies were printed, making this an uncommon specialist New Zealand geological reference.
