Exploration for possible economic stratabound/hydrothermal lead-zinc deposits formed in Cambrian carbonate units, and also for hydrothermal gold, was performed under a joint venture agreement by Poseidon Minerals and covered an area surrounding the...

This section of the study was based on source rock analyses performed on 75 outcrop and shallow drill core samples from 25 localities, plus other new data derived from Cambrian sediments intersected in the deep petroleum exploration wells Moorowie 1,...

During licence Year 11, on renewed EL 3111 (to 27/7/2004), Perilya's exploration was focussed on expanding the mineralised intersections found near Reliance in the previous year, and on investigating the open-at-depth mineralised palaeo-karstic...

The second report in this series on the recovery of zinc and cadmium from smelter fume and dust described the use of sodium sulphate as the ion exchange eluent. The characteristics of the elution of zinc and cadmium were examined at three sodium...

This report describes the hydrogeological environment of each bore, the pumping tests performed and the groundwater chemistry. The capabilities of each bore are determined and the probable effects of long term pumping are considered.

In continuing exploration of the Cambrian dolomitic limestones in the vicinity of Puttapa, looking for additional occurences of economic zinc mineralisation, the focus for E-Z was on four areas which contain known outcropping willemite. In three of...

A portion of the central Flinders Ranges covering the Beltana Diapir and its surrounds has been taken up mainly to explore for possible economic buried hydrothermal replacement type or epigenetic stratabound base metal mineralisation, with magnesite...

Early Cambrian marine sediments in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, were deposited on a continental margin platform, and have been divided into five unconformity bounded depositional sequences and subsequences, ranging in age from basal Cambrian to...

Surveys recently conducted in England, Ireland and Australia have shown that there are major spatial variations in the 'light' [molecular weight] hydrocarbon gas content of rocks which are closely related to the presence of underlying mineralisation....

Continuing prospect exploration work at the Beltana zinc orebody discovery has consisted of detailed geological mapping at 1:4 800 scale, rock chip sampling of outcropping Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments, field investigation of microgravity...

This report summarises, in categoric fashion, all of the various exploratory and mine development activities carried out over the past four years on the broader Puttapa area exploration licence (as renewed), and within the mineral claims taken out...

Geological mapping and the interpretation of drillhole data from the vicinity of the recently defined Southern orebody extension at Beltana (including 4 new diamond holes totalling 1600 feet) has enabled the licensee to formulate likely parameters of...

Zinc silicate (willemite) mineralisation occurs in a host rock of Lower Cambrian Ajax Limestone, which represents part of a sequence of Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian sediments that rests unconformably on folded lower Adelaidean Willouran siltstones...

Exploration for possible commercial accumulations of sedimentary shallow marine phosphorite ore in the Ediacara 'Sub-basin', 26 km west of Beltana, has consisted of a search within the Early Cambrian strata for any sites or layers of phosphate...

Exploration for Beltana - type stratabound, hydrothermal related base metal deposits in an area situated south-west of Copley consisted of regional, ground and helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:4800 scale, photointerpretation of structural...

Ongoing base metal exploration to look for further analogues to the Beltana willemite discovery, carried out over an area located east of the Puttapa Rail Siding, has consisted of semi-detailed 1:4800 scale geological mapping and geochemical stream...

Continuing exploration of the Aroona Valley and its vicinity for possible 'blind' occurrences of the zinc silicate, willemite, within host Lower Cambrian strata, has consisted of 1:4800 scale geological mapping of the south-western limb of the Aroona...
