Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

An area of 1.2 square km surrounding the Big Lode mine historic copper workings was reserved for 18 months under tenure of seven Mining Claims, to allow for the detailed geological mapping of rock structures possibly controlling observed secondary...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...

The geological history of the present-day observable rocks that outcrop in the Clare Valley district of South Australia is described in easily understandable language by a SA Government geological mapping expert. His interpretative map depicting the...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

Five hundred drainage geochemical samples were collected in an area of 16½ square miles over the Mount Grainger Diapir and surrounding country rock, during February and March 1963. Results of this survey outlined an extensive copper, lead, zinc...

Diapiric marbles and dolomitic siltstone breccia of presumed Willouran age intrude younger Umberatana Group rocks which have been folded into an elongate domal structure and, in part, rest unconformably on the diapiric core. Within the diapir several...

Most of the geochemical copper anomalies outlined by soil sampling in the Mount Coffin Diapir area are attributed to secondary dispersion of copper by weathering from epigenetic sources of low economic importance. One anomaly, caused by mineralised...

Geochemical follow-up soil sampling performed near Nichols Nob, over stream sediment base metal anomalies previously recognised along the western margin of the Mount Burr Diapir, has delineated several copper anomalies. The largest of these have...

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...

Iron ore exploration undertaken within two small licence subareas centred 60 km south of Yunta, in the vicinity of the outcropping Razorback Ridge banded iron formation of Sturtian age, was directed at assessing the economic potential of the...

A very small area centred ~70 km south-east of Olary, and lying immediately west of the SA / NSW border and on the northern edge of the Murray Basin, has been explored for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences within concealed...

The objectives of this research project were: 1. to determine the petrological history of the component rocks in the diapir, and, if possible, the origin of the copper found in blocks or rafts of sedimentary rock now included within diapiric breccia...

An area centred ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for buried mineral sands placer deposits that may have formed within the Cainozoic Murray Basin sedimentary cover, as well as for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences that...

A small licence area located on the northern margin of the Murray Basin, approximately 70 km north-east of Burra and about 40 km south of the previously studied Razorback Ridge banded iron formation magnetite deposit, has been explored for possible...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...
