We propose an SiO, HCN/HNC and HCO+ spectral line study of southern massive star formation sources that were previously identified in a millimetre continuum emission survey on the SEST. These sources are found offset from and devoid of methanol maser and an UC HII sources which typically trace young massive stars. Subsequent SCUBA observations on the JCMT reveal them to be associated with submillimetre continuum emission, confirming their association with cold, deeply embedded objects. Recent CO and CS observations using the Mopra telescope reveal them to be rich in molecular species. We are seeking complementary observations in both SiO, HCN/HNC and HCO+ species to aid our understanding of these cores and their role in the formation of massive stars. We will attempt to identify whether these cores display evidence of mssive star formation and whether they have similar characteristics to sources with a methanol maser and/or UC HII region. Ultimately we will address whether these cores are indeed forming massive stars.
