Location of all current Regulated Substance Retention Licences issued under the Energy Resources Act 2000 (formerly the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000) for the regulated resource or commodity of regulated substances as defined in the Act....

Contains the results of a SCAL study of 16 selected drill core plug samples taken from within the Strzelecki and Dullingari Field Jurassic oil reservoirs, to determine formation resistivity factor plus cation exchange capacity at ambient pressure...

Twenty diamond drill holes amountiing to a total footage of 3,780 feet have now been completed at the Victoria Hut Prospect. These have shown that the lodes extend to a depth of at least 270 feet down dip, but with a gradual decline in the width and...

In a recent progress report (No. C.W.26) it was indicated that total ore reserves proven by diamond drilling to 28 September 1954 amounted to 42,000 tons assaying 4.00 pounds U308 per long ton; the likelihood of additional ore reserves at that stage...

Public Calls are areas of land offered to explorers with the view to attracting exploration programs under formal licences for the exploration of regulated substances. These call areas are frequently accompanied by substantial data packages....

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials during the six monthly period ended 30 June 2002. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

Over the period from 1955 until 1976 an outcrop of Ordovician porphyritic rhyolite was quarried for road-sealing aggregate and rail ballast from two quarries at Mount Monster, 12 km south of Keith. The total recorded production was 548,000 tonnes....

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

Following on from the highly successful Gawler Craton - State of Play 2002 conference held by PIRSA in Adelaide in December 2002, the Gawler Craton Team of PIRSA's Geological Survey Branch has recently undertaken a major excursion across the craton....

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

The purpose of the project is to provide essential data on the hardrock extractive (construction material) resources supplying the Adelaide metropolitan area, in order to be able to: - Critically examine current hardrock supplies and resources and how...

The Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) is the state government agency responsible for the administration, management and regulation of South Australia’s mineral resources industry. egislation governs the access to land and the regulation of...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials during the six monthly period ended 31 December 2001. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...
