The Boomerang gold prospect is located 650 km north-west of Adelaide in undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks incorporated within Archaean Harris Greenstone Belt mafic lithologies of the Gawler Craton. The prospect was originally discovered using...

This project reviewed literature in order to: - evaluate any downhole environmental risks associated with drilling fluids and completion practices in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins; and - assess the effectiveness of cementing practices in achieving...

A report scoping the possible environmental impacts of future seismic operations in the Otway Basin of the South-East of South Australia has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Act 2000. This document provides information...

Palynological analyses of seven cutting samples from several drillholes in the eastern Eucla Basin, South Australia, indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus spore-pollen zone. Open...

Within Australia, dryland salinity has been recognised to be an important issue which presents unique challenges to land managers, policy makers and regulators. It currently affects 326 000 ha of land in South Australia (in addition to 84 000 ha of...

The Government of South Australia is currently reviewing the future of the Coongie Lakes Control Zone (CLCZ), and the options relating to petroleum operations which may, or may not, be undertaken in the area. This options paper summarises, for the...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...

A program of soil and stream sediment sampling was conducted along the Dawesley - Bremer Catchment to determine the extent and magnitude of potential heavy metal contamination downstream from the Brukunga Pyrite Mine. Arsenic, cadmium, copper and zinc...

The Late Palaeozoic Cooper Basin is a major source of hydrocarbons and is especially important in providing the natural gas needs of much of south-eastern Australia. The basin is now a mature petroleum province, with more than 1200 wells drilled and...

The state of water resources in the Mount Lofty Ranges has been the subject of discussion for at least 10 years. As early as 1989, it was suggested that controls were necessary to restrict the development of specific activities where it could be...

The Marne River is a main tributary catchment for the River Murray, which generates ephemeral flows in wet years. Concerns have been expressed at the construction of large dams in the headwaters of the catchment, about their impacts on streamflow,...

Reports describe the various Cambrian biostratigraphic horizons encountered in the bore, making comparisons and correlations with the Cambrian elsewhere in the Adelaide Geosyncline, particularly at Mount Scott Range, Sellicks Hill, Curramulka, The...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 13/3/2002 from a survey...

This report is the first in a series of coastal bitumen fieldwork studies being carried out in South Australia over the duration of one year by the Organic Geochemistry Unit, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Adelaide and the South...

A search has been performed for possible commercial grade diatomaceous silica - rich sediments within an area straddling the Greanium - Lameroo - Pinnaroo Road and extending westwards from the SA/Vic. state border for ~90 km. The target locations were...

As part of the Mining and Rehabilitation Program (MARP) submission for the Prominent Hill Copper-Gold Project, a Native Vegetation Management Plan (NVMP) was developed in accordance with the MARP Guidelines prepared by PIRSA. The NVMP outlined how...
