A geological consultancy's initial assessment of the previously worked basal Cambrian rock phosphate occurrence near Myponga has indicated that promising mineral-rich horizons may exist over considerable widths (to at least 300 feet) on the...

After a geological reconnaissance conducted in the Lake Torrens area located some surface geochemical enrichments of phosphate within an attenuated basal section of the Cambrian Andamooka Limestone at several different stratigraphic levels within that...

The importance of agriculture in South Australia and its dependence on systematic applications of phosphatic fertilizers for its productivity and permanence rendered it desirable that a stocktaking of the possibilities that exist in the State for the...

No sedimentary phosphorate has been found in commercial quantities in outcropping Cambrian rocks of the Flinders Ranges. Two types of minor occurrences were defined: - 1.Those in ferruginous glauconitic limestone (consisting of pelletal apatite)....

To assist the State Planning Office "examine and assess the future development of a defined area in the Mid-North of the State in anticipation of the area being declared a planning area under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act,...

Bedded phosphate deposits which occur principally at or near the base of the Cambrian Succession and also within sediments of the Adelaide System have been variously exploited in a number of areas from shallow quarries but utilisation has been limited...

Mapping and sampling beyond the area of the Myponga phosphate quarry has indicated the existence of further occurrences of phosphate rock. The phosphate-bearing areas have been faulted, producing a number of isolated blocks. At least two phosphatic...

The mercury ore-mineral, cinnabar, was discovered in 1965 at the Moro Mine, 7½ miles south west of Wertaloona Station, by Kennecott Explorations (Aust.) Pty. Ltd. No further testing of this mercury occurrence was made until May, 1968 when...

Following investigations at Oliver's phosphate workings, Sections 65 and 66, Hd. Willunga (Callen, 1968), it was decided to map Wait's workings on Section 40, Hd. Noarlunga and those on Section 48 at the same stratigraphic horizon. Reconnaissance...

Large sedimentary phosphorate deposits are unlikely to be found in the Cambrian on Fleurieu Peninsula or the southern part of Yorke Peninsula. Further exploration of the phosphatic Brighton Limestone and Saddleworth Formation type of facies should be...

Discovery of major deposits of phosphate rock in Queensland by Broken Hill South Ltd was announced to the press on October 28th, 1966. The occurrences are located some 90 miles S.S.W. of Cloncurry and 20 to 40 miles S.S.E. of Duchess. Commercial grade...

Comparatively high grade phosphate rock is present at the Myponga deposit, discovered in 1921. A total of 887 tons was produced by the Broken Hill Pty. Ltd. In 1941-1942. The phosphate occurs in the upper beds of the lower Cambrian Mt. Terrible...

In connection with the search for phosphate deposits a survey was carried out over portions of ORROROO and BURRA. Areas were selected for two purposes, firstly it was desired to test the equipment over known phosphate deposits, and secondly to...

A deposit of bedded phosphate rock occurs in a siltstone unit 40-50 feet thick within an essentially calcareous sequence 25 miles south of Adelaide. Approximately 8,000 tons of phosphate rock were removed in the period 1907 to 1930. There are possible...

Avian guano has been recovered from a number of lslands off the coast of Southern Eyre Peninsula. Sampling of remnants of the deposits on several islands of the Sir Joseph Banks Group in Spencer Gulf and of the Brothers in Coffin Bay revealed that no...

The output of phosphate rock since discovery in 1903 has been maintained at a steady rate and to 1972 recorded production totals 316 127 tonnes, valued at $946 206. Output during the past decade has averaged 8 000 tonnes per year. The local product...
