Since 1962, recorded production from Steetley's barite deposit, which forms part of Linke's lode, has totalled 6,237 tonnes. The deposit is in a Class B Environmental Area within the Flinders Ranges National Park. The steep barite lode has formed in...

McRae deposits are located 10 km SW of the Oraparinna barite mine, on the western flank of Loves Mine Range. The southern deposit, no. 1 lode, has discontinuous strike length of 200 metres, 1.5 metres thick, emplaced along a fault in the Wilyerpa...

At Turley Lode, barite infills steeply dipping fractures in Brachina Formation siltstone, within graben adjacent to the Oraparinna Diapir. To the south, the Southern Lode and Nicholls Deposit, both on the contact between Etina Formation shale and the...

The mine is the State's major producer of industrial grade barite, with total output of 270 000 tonnes from 1940 to 1986. Barite is hosted by Late Proterozoic Brachina Formation siltstone within a sedimentary graben, structurally controlled by the...

Established producers have taken advantage of export opportunities for gypsum, salt and dolomite. New developments include a graphite processing plant at the former Uley Graphite Mine and trial mining of micaceous iron oxide for pigments. Proposals...

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...

Kapunda DC is underlain by folded Adelaidean and Cambrian metasediments which host important mineral deposits in the area. An estimated 15 million tonnes of ore averaging 1.2% copper remains near the Kapunda mine, with potential for further...

Exploration for Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic sediment-hosted base metal deposits and possible buried Olympic Dam style deposits was carried out over an area located approximately 20 km west of Copley, north of and along strike from the Ediacara Range....

Exploration for possible economic gold occurrences in an area surrounding Outalpa Hill in the Olary Ranges, 25 km north of Manna Hill township, has been conducted initially by a private prospecting syndicate with the assistance of industry...

No significant gold or base metal values were returned from geochemical sampling of quartz and barite veins in the vicinity of the Ediacara Fault, 40 km north-west of Parachilna. Imaging of aeromagnetic data purchased as infill coverage to a 1999...

Possible extensions to historic workings for lead, gold and copper in the Pinda Springs area, 55 km south-east from Copley, were tested by a limited programme of rock chip sampling and panning of creek sediments. Mineralised veins with visible galena...

A detailed examination of mineralised rock sequences within the metamorphosed Precambrian basement and Adelaidean cover rocks of the Weekeroo area, and recording of their relationship to successive deformational events and resulting rock structures,...

Calcrete sampling, mapping, and RAB and aircore drilling (211 holes, total 7334 m) were carried out 20 km north of Penong, in an area underlain by Hiltaba Suite granitoids, Archaean gneisses and a major associated shear zone. Although geochemical...

An area with known small barite occurrences, that surrounds Eudunda township, was held for 3.5 years without any on-ground work being done.

A relatively large but little-explored area of the central-eastern Stuart Shelf, which is almost wholly covered by scrubby sand dunes and swampy salt lakes, thereby making surface access very difficult despite it being located only ~30 km to 50 km km...

Two adjacent areas located immediately south and east of Woomera township were taken up to search for possible buried economic stratabound deposits of copper or other metals that may have formed in the Neoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic cover sequence...

Evaluation of a known minor surface barite occurrence located ~12 km NNW of Carrieton has consisted only of the collection and assaying of 8 grab samples taken from within historic costeans which had been dug on narrow veins in bedrock. No ongoing...

An area centred ~65 km north-east of Hawker in the Central Flinders Ranges, and located adjacent to the eastern side of the Oraparinna Diapir, has been explored for possible buried economic epigenetic copper, gold and uranium mineralisation. During...

During the eighth year of tenure, work done on EL 2639 included: - the conduct of infill ground gravity and CSAMT surveys; - geophysical modelling and interpretation of the new survey data; - geological interpretation and refinement of drilling...
