Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

6 selected drill core samples and 2 fossiliferous outcrop samples of Neoproterozoic Burra Group carbonate/dolomitic sediments from the Willouran Ranges were subjected to laboratory source rock analysis to determine their organic richness, kerogen type...

Exploration licence 871 Area B contains Adelaidean sediments of the Callanna Beds, Burra Group and Umberatana Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. The area is being investigated for stratiform copper mineralisation within the above...

Aquitaine Australia Minerals Pty Ltd (Aquitaine) entered into a joint venture with North Flinders Mines on 21 August 1975, over an area defined by Exploration Licence 272 (ex EL 153). The area included two main prospective zones for copper deposits:...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

The southern portion of the Mount Painter Province held under ELs 871 and 1049 contains Adelaidean sediments of the Upper Callanna Beds and Burra Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. Reconnaissance work by Marathon Petroleum during...

A consultant's detailed regional geological study of the northern Willouran Ranges, and then his very close examination of the apparent controls on known diapir-related exposed epigenetic / stratabound copper mineralisation, have identified three...

Detailed base and precious metals exploration undertaken by Utah Development Company in the area of the Worumba Anticline has targeted possible stratiform Zambian Copperbelt - type deposits. Exploratory work has included 72 geochemical vertical...

Two deposits comprising gently dipping dolomitic sediments of the Skillogalee Dolomite were located during reconnaissance for construction materials for the Crystal Brook bypass. The southern deposit, 4 km northeast of Crystal Brook, was subsequently...

Forty-two thin sections collected from the Skillogalee Dolomite are representative of carbonate and non-carbonate facies, and include shales, siltstones, sandstones and conglomerates. Many of the specimens are partly or wholly stromatolitic: two...

Includes a discussion about probable processes of mobilisation and recrystallisation of the dolomitic sediments, and describes the evidence found for the presence of a pyroclastic component in many of the non-carbonate sedimentary rock samples.

This report presents a comprehensive summary of the results of considerable geological, survey and beneficiation work which has been carried out at four mines. The mined deposits have been formed in Burra Group schists and gneisses that constitute the...

This study examines in detail, stratigraphy and sedimentology of Skillogalee Dolomite and its lateral variation. Data on facies development and palaeogeography for this area, particularly marine or non-marine interpretation are pertinent to the...

Reserves of 12.1 million tonnes of dolomite are indicated, but are conditional upon removal of 2.2 million tonnes of waste dumps and of 5.8 million tonnes of phyllite.

Uneconomic stratiform copper mineralization over area of 2.5 by 1 km was discovered by Utah west of Eurelia in 1969 - 1977. It occurs near core of SW plunging anticline in the Burra Group. Host rocks are carbonaceous and pyritic siltstone, dolomite,...

Summarises information gathered during mapping since 1981, particularly work by Utah Development Company. Covers fault - bounded structural complexes in the Callanna Group and sections measured through upper Burra Group, overlying glacial beds and...

42 rock specimens collected from the open cut at Burra were examined in order to comment on a report received from a consulting organisation. Despite a high degree of alteration evident in the samples, it was possible to distinguish microscopically,...

Sediments deposited in environment similar to present day inland drainage system.
