Sediments in the area consist of blue dolomitic flaggy and laminated slates and grits, and are equated with the Sturtian Series of the Adelaide System. Copper lodes occur parallel to the beds, which dip between 50-70°W. During the period March to July...

The West Burra copper deposit, which lies in hilly country 3.5 miles west-southwest of Burra, was discovered in January 1913 and worked as a single 40-acre mining claim until that claim was cancelled on 18/2/1919. Information about the mine has been...

The subject of this report is the result of the differential thermal analysis of certain carbonate, sulphide, and clay minerals. The project had two principal aims - firstly, to establish a reference file of differential thermal traces to facilitate...

Originally confined to the Cornish Copper line, the geophysical investigation was extended to cover the Tarcoola Blocks, Afghan Camp and also Brown Hill areas of workings. Resistivity contours supply some information as to the structure in the areas...

The sedimentary environment of Cambrian and Marinoan shelf sediments in South Australia is outlined. Tables are presented showing the distribution of Cu and Pb in the various facies of these sediments. Low grade copper mineralisation in some Marinoan...

A small pod of copper ore occurred in an irregular mass along a small shear zone of minor fault cutting Tapley Hill Slates close to their contact with underlying fluvio-glacial beds forming the upper part of the Sturt Tillite sequence. Thin bearing...

This paper deals briefly with the geology and mineralisation of the Ediacara Mineral Field, which is located about 300 miles north of Adelaide in the Mount James Range. The field was discovered some time prior to 1872. Total recorded production for...

The Nairne Pyrite Deposit occurs at Drukunga, three and a half miles east of Nairne, and 29 miles from Adelaide on the eastern flank of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The deposit is being worked for iron sulphides. Operations commenced in 1955 as a joint...

A comparison of known iron deposits in Western Australia and South Australia suggests that large, high grade iron orebodies occur in flatly dipping favourable horizons which have a leached and oxidised appearance: siliceous, steeply dipping iron...

Two diamond drillholes were completed over the period January to July 1963 in the initial stages of investigation of the Dawesley aeromagnetic anomaly, aiming mainly to test two IP anomalies 1 mile apart that had been detected on SADM grid line 1000...
