GreenEarth Energy has reported it has found data of interest from existing drilling for oil and gas between Anglesea and Geelong in Victoria. It is using information from one of its parent companies, Lakes Oil, to determine if it will drill wells in search for hot rocks.

Last month, GreenEarth Energy was one of six companies who was awarded Geothermal Exploration Permits from the Victorian Department of Primary Industries.
