The St Peter Suite has been previously interpreted to have formed in a subduction-related setting; however, there are limited data with which to assess this interpretation. This report comprises two parts. The first is a summary of Sensitive High...

This technical report presents laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data for 15 rock samples derived from locations spread across the Gawler Craton. The purpose of the subject dating project...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

During the period 1745–1700 Ma, felsic and mafic rocks were intruded throughout the Gawler Craton, broadly coeval with the 1740–1690 Ma Kimban Orogeny. These rocks were previously considered part of the Lincoln Complex, a stratigraphic term defined by...

The laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data reported herein derive from three rock samples sourced from the central - northern Gawler Craton, South Australia. These samples have been...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

Samples of volcanic ash obtained from the Mount Schank area were tested to find if they would act as a satisfactory, naturally occurring raw material substitute for artificial fly ash presently used as a low cost ingredient in concrete mixes, that is...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

The Burra mine 3D model was constructed using a georeferenced version of the original hand-drafted base map, which included elevation data points surveyed during the final phase of mining. These elevation locations and associated height data were...

The SADME 1980-1981 Burra mine field mapping project was undertaken at short notice, in order to collect unique geological data and location survey information from the lower benches of the then actively worked open pit mine, before the newly exposed...

This report presents the results from zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb geochronological age determinations, and both trace and rare earth element abundance geochemical analyses, performed on fifteen outcrop and drill core samples originating from the...

This Report Book contains zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between December 2006 and June 2007, for rock samples derived from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The geochronological study was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience...

The geology of the Lake Gilles locale in the south-west of the PORT AUGUSTA 1:250k map sheet area is poorly understood. Outcrop of basement rocks there is sparse, and typically occurs along the margins of the salt lake, where it is highly weathered....

The KIMBA 1:250 000 geological map sheet (hereafter referred to as KIMBA) lies in central Eyre Peninsula, extending between latitudes 33° to 34° S and longitudes 135° to 136°30'E (Fig 1). The principal towns are Kimba and Cleve, with smaller towns at...

This report book presents the results of seven geochronology research projects completed during 2009 and 2010 as a new part of the ongoing PACE Initiative geoscientific data gathering activity underwritten by the South Australian Government. It has...

This monograph presents an integration and summary of all new data, and a consolidation of current concepts and ideas on the geological history, discovered fields and petroleum potential of the Otway Basin in South Australia. Many of these...

U-Pb zircon geochronology of the Nuyts Volcanics yielded an age of 1627 +/- 2 Ma, supporting a previous dating of 1631 +/- 3 Ma. The major and trace element compositions, as well as the presence of a tectonic fabric, suggest that the Nuyts Volcanics...
