During 1970/71, two large explosions set off at the Ord River Dam building site in Western Australia were recorded on 2000 km long land-based shot recording lines by the BMR and a number of university seismic research groups, and the results were used...

Report presents the basic data and geochronological age interpretations for 89 K-Ar and 64 Rb-Sr isotopic analyses, made on metamorphic, granitic and volcanic rock samples derived from parts of the Musgrave Block visited by SADME geologists between...

An absolute age of 677 Ma +/- 12 Ma was determined from analyses of six selected zircon grains separated from the subject volcanic rock sample, but the result is strongly affected by the need to impose large corrections to the data to compensate for...

The bulk of the late Archaean volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks from the Gawler Craton range in age from c. 2535 to 2510 Ma (Fanning, Reid and Teale 2007). However, these units were preceded by an older set of volcanics, the c. 2558 calcalkaline volcanics...

This project has advanced the techniques of fission track analysis as a means of reconstructing the thermal evolution of sedimentary basins so that the conditions and timing of hydrocarbon generation can be assessed. It has been shown that the...

This paper introduces a formal lithostratigraphic scheme for major subdivisions of the Olary Domain, and compares these subdivisions to those of the Broken Hill Domain, these two domains being the main components of the Curnamona Province. The scheme...

66 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

53 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

The prospectivity of the Kalladeina Formation of the Warburton Basin was assessed in the region between Lake Hope 1 and Coongie 1 in PELs 5 & 6 to develop an inventory of prospects and leads in the area.

Drilling of two percussion holes (aggregate 400 metres) near Yerila, south of Lake Blanche, failed to give encouragement to the search for possible Permian coal and Tertiary uranium in the southern Eromanga Basin / Lake Blanche Lineament uplift area...

As part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried stratiform / hydrothermal copper mineralisation in the Yudnamutana Mining Field, the target lower Callanna Group strata were geologically mapped, petrologically studied and geochemically...

A computerised lineament analysis of Landsat digital image data covering the northern portion of the Flinders Ranges has shown a strong correlation between the known mineralisation and fracture structuring peripheral to granites, suggesting that...

During the EL 132 tenure, work has consisted of a mineability evaluation of the Honeymoon uranium deposit, plus additional U exploration over the South Eagle farmout. Initially, 5 rotary holes (total 594.9 m) were drilled to the north of the...

Exploration for possible Alligator Rivers (Northern Territory) style uranium deposits occurring in potential host rocks (carbonaceous pelites and carbonate rocks) within an Early Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence underlying a Middle Proterozoic...

The south-eastern Lake Frome Embayment in the vicinity of Quinyambie Station was explored for Upper and Lower Tertiary 'blanket' or 'roll front' type sedimentary uranium, via the drilling of 75 open vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration...

To promote renewed regional exploration of the northern Yorke Peninsula using modern techniques and concepts, MESA as part of the SAEI programme has prepared a GIS-based data package, which incorporates a study of all available drillcore and a...
