RB 83/00043 Study of groundwater geochemistry around Burra Burra mine.
Sampling was aimed at determining influence of copper mineralization on groundwater geochemistry. Although carbonate rich host rock and mine dewatering have minimized any heavy metal dispersion halo, a sulphate dispersion halo is centred over the...-

Mount Grainger (Oodla Wirra). Progress reports and final report to licence expiry/full surrender, for the period 8/10/1970 to 7/10/1971.
Extensive literature and geological and geochemical field investigations of historic mines and prospects at the Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra Goldfields have failed to disclose any remaining economic gold occurrences. The sparse native gold occurs...-

RB 65/00035 Clare Regional Geochemical Project.
This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...-
