Pale pink, white and grey marble outcrops extend for about 20 chains over a ridge on section 422, Hd. Moorooroo, two miles east of Angaston. The pink marble is an attractive stone, similar to, but plaer than “Angaston pink” marble. The volume of stone...

At the request of the Highways Department, a shallow refraction seismic survey was carried out near Delamere to test the rippability of the material to be removed. The material to be excavated consists of marble with varying degrees of fracturing due...

Since 1950, recorded production from ICI's Penrice marble deposit near Angaston has totalled 13,083,395 tonnes. High grade marble is used at the company's Osborne plant, while lower grade stone is sold for cement manufacture and roadstone, and small...

Includes detailed geological mapping with stadia surveying, drilling proposals and suggestions for future quarry development.

Thin sections of 3 specimens were examined for traces of organic remains, metallic minerals and the metamorphism of the rocks. Contains petrographic reports.

Semi quantitative spectroscopy on samples from the Mount Howden Mine gave anomalous results. The best recording was 35cm of greater than 1% Zn, greater than 1% Pb and 10ppm Ag. An interval (10m thick) of above background copper, silver, lead, Zinc,...

EML 3554, 9 km NW of Tumby Bay, contains 3 separate marble outcrops, each 40 metres wide, of similar mineralogy, which are isoclinally-folded Katunga Dolomite of the Hutchison Group of Lower Proterozoic age. The marble quarries where mapped, surveyed...

EML 4665, 9 km NW of Tumby Bay, contains isoclinally folded Lower Proterozoic Hutchison Group metasediments comprising serpentinized marble, jasper / ironstone, quartzite and gneiss. The lease was mapped, surveyed and sampled. The northern marble band...

An abandoned quarry, 9 km NW of Tumby Bay, was mapped and surveyed. It is sited on the equivalent of the Katunga Domomite, part of the Hutchison Group of Middle Proterozoic age. The marble was isoclinally folded and metamorphosed to granulite...

Detailed mapping undertaken between 1982 and 1987 of 48 known jade outcrops located in the Cowell - Cleve area, and diamond drilling of 3 jade outcrops and 2 ornamental marble prospects, has identified many factors controlling nephrite formation. The...

At the instigation of JLC Exploration Services, geological consultants to Penrice Soda Products Ltd, vertical electrical soundings (VES) were used to determine overburden thickness.

A program of testing of physical properties of South Australian building stones has been carried out on 30 samples representing: - Seven granite samples from four localities - One marble sample - Thirteen slate and flagstone samples from nine...

This data package discusses mining and processing operations of the major non metallic and industrial mineral commodities in South Australia and is of interest to those in the industry and to manufacturers and suppliers of a range of machinery and...

Protracted exploration undertaken by an individual mineral prospector over a small area of rugged topography located in the north-central Flinders Ranges, approximately 25 km north-east of Leigh Creek, has addressed a number of potentially economic...

Two historically reported isolated occurrences of hydrothermal uranium mineralisation, found within fractured Adelaidean metasediments in the hilly country east of Burra and north of Robertstown, were investigated for their potential to act as sources...
