In a search for possible buried kimberlite intrusions that may source authenticated historical diamond finds at the Echunga gold diggings, CRAE drilled 3 vertical percussion holes (total penetration 288 m) on 3 selected magnetic anomalies out of 30...

A small area centred ~75 km east of Marree, which was previously held by Adavale as part of ELs 3620 and 3622 but later got relinquished in August 2011, has been taken up afresh after the presence of shallow fold depressions containing quartzose...

Fluid inclusions to quartz overgrowths occurring within 6 selected samples of Patchawarra Formation drill cores obtained from 3 deep Cooper Basin wells, were investigated using closely controlled heating/cooling cycles to determine past temperatures...

At the request of several interested parties from Coober Pedy, 17 channel and grab samples of alunite-bearing clays obtained from opal workings near the town were analysed for their alunite content and its purity. Recent inspections by the author of...

In the reporting period to 30th June 1995 for Exploration Licence 1944, Heathgate Pty Ltd completed no fieldwork, however geological evaluation work was undertaken. This work consisted of laboratory testing of drill core from a 1991 drilling program...

Exploration Licence 5017 Arkaroola, Exploration Licence 5118 Mt Yerila and Exploration Licence 5261 Petermorra cover a combined area of approximately 1831 square km within the northern Flinders Ranges and the Frome Basin. The area is being targeted...

The continuation of Heathgate's programme of exploration for economic buried Tertiary sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation within part of the north-western Frome Embayment during 2012-2013 has comprised exploratory drilling of 36 vertical rotary mud...

Exploration for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits in the Postmark area on the northern margin of the Murray Basin in South Australia comprised two airborne radiometric and scintillometric surveys together totalling approximately 1350...

A selection of 17 rock chip samples taken from drill cores cut in SADME Ooldea 1 stratigraphic drillhole, which is located in the south-eastern Officer Basin, were examined petrographically as an aid to determining their possible depositional...

10 drill core samples from Duntroon 1 and Platypus 1 were analysed to provide data on the petrology, diagenesis and reservoir quality of sandstones from the Duntroon Basin. The core samples were taken from depths equivalent to those from which routine...

A lithofacies study of the Upper Permian Toolachee Formation has been conducted in the Gidgealpa-Moomba-Big Lake area to determine the suitability of the technique in the reconstruction of depositional environments and palaeogeographic trends...

This student vacational project report, for the Department's Petroleum Exploration Div., aimed to correlate the basement rocks met with in Great Australian Bight area offshore and near onshore petroleum exploration wells with outcropping formations...

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...

Samples of friable white sandstone from two auger drill holes have been analysed and shown to be suitable for glass manufacture after removal of approximately 20% kaolin. White clay underlying the sandstone is worth further exploration.

No sedimentary phosphorate has been found in commercial quantities in outcropping Cambrian rocks of the Flinders Ranges. Two types of minor occurrences were defined: - 1.Those in ferruginous glauconitic limestone (consisting of pelletal apatite)....

Tertiary sandstones, grits and siltstones which are generally weakly consolidation have been in part lateritised to form strongly cemented ferruginous sandstone. Scout diamond drilling provided samples for testing without defining the extent of the...

This report describes potential ballast sites on the Mount Willoughby - Northern Territory Border section of the proposed Tarcoola -Alice Springs standard gauge railway. Sedimentary rocks of Mesozoic and Tertiary age south of Marla Bore do not provide...

A site in Barunga Sandstone (Tent Hill Formation equivalent) located 2.5 miles south east of Nantawarra Siding has been selected for testing. Previous quarrying operations from this unit in the area have disclosed the presence at many sites of clay in...
