SADME Coonalpyn Downs 1 intersected the full sequence of Buccleuch Group lithologies and penetrated the top of the Renmark Group. Drilling ceased at 105.1 metres, due to unconsolidated sands caving in on the drill string, and pre-Tertiary basement was...

No new work - data collection and review only. The subject areas flanking known outcropping uraniferous basement rocks of the Padthaway Ridge were taken up to explore for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits that may have formed in...

An area comprised of three separate sub-blocks generally located ~60 km south of Manna Hill and ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for Tertiary sedimentary uranium which may have formed in buried north to south trending palaeochannels...

Adelaide Brighton Cement took up tenure of the Moorlands lignite deposit during September 1976 in order to conduct confirmatory drilling of the published coal resource, to prepare a mining study for Lobe 'E', and overall, to assess the coal's...

Drilling (132.8 metres) included fully cored geotechnical hole to basement to estimate mine planning constraints for open cut mining. The unconfined aquifer above the lignite must be dewatered for mine slope stability. Overburden contains 2 layers of...

Coal seam thickness averages 9.55 metres. In situ reserves are 8.85 MT. Recoverable coal reserves are 8.6 MT. Capital required to bring the mine into operation is $15.2 M. The real average cost of production is $13.69 / T.

This publication details the stratigraphy of the Murray Basin Province of South Australia. The work leading up to this report has played a major part in the understanding of the sedimentary succession of this important basin-area of the State. The...

Three observation bores were drilled within 1.5km of each other approximately 4km south-west from Waikerie. Depth ranged from 235 to 329m, substantially deeper than all othe bores in the area, and all Tertiary epochs are represented. The stratigraphic...

Donna 1 well intersected 500 feet of Tertiary sediments and 1800 feet of Permian sands before drilling was suspended at 2300 feet. The formation at this level is presumed to be of Permian age, while the siliceous limestone cored between 2073 and 2078...

Five structure holes drilled to a depth of approximately 1,000 feet in the Hundred of MacDonnell 9 miles south west of Mount Gambier intersected a lower Tertiary section in downward sequence of Gambier Limestone, Buccleuch Group and Knight Group...

From brief examination of cores and of the five structure holes the following sequence has been intersected to 921 feet. 0-536 feet Gambier Limestone (Oligocene), 536-600 feet Buccleuch Group (Upper Eocene); 600-3131 feet Knight Group (Dartmoor...

Department of Mines Langhorne Creek Observation Bore No. 1, sited near the western margin of the Murray Basin, in Sect. 3606, Hd. Freeling, Co. Sturt, penetrated 430 feet of Cainozoic sediments before bottoming in bedrock of Kanmantoo Group phyllites....

Foraminifera and stratigraphy of four water bores in the Hundred of Stirling and one bore in the Hundred of Laffer have been examined. The total thickness of the Cainozoic sequence to bedrock, proved in two bores, varies from 398 feet near Emu Flat, 4...

The most significant feature of the area, covered by the Naracoorte 1:250 000 sheet is the Padthaway Ridge which underlies all but the southernmost part of the area, where Mesozoic sediments, of the Otway Basin lap onto the ridge (Padthaway...

Waikerie Bore No. 2, drilled 2½ miles south-west of Waikerie township, bottomed at 775 feet in sands of the Knight Group, after passing through a sequence of Quaternary beds, Norwest Bend Formation, Morgan Limestone, Finniss Clay equivalent (?),...

STR-2, on the Padthaway Ridge, near Monster Mount, Keith district, penetrated a Cainozoic sequence approximately 88 m thick resting on bed-rock of weathered quartz-feldspar porphyry. ?Coomandook Formation (8-28 m, ?Early Pleistocene) 1s distinguished...
