Reconnaissance mapping and sampling of an area of poorly exposed Precambrian crystalline basement north of Kingoonya has shown that the regional geology is dominated by intensely folded, discontinuously outcropping banded iron formations that are...

Includes brief historical notes. Extensive exploration for gold, tin, nickel, base metals and uranium.

This report presents the results from zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on seventeen quartzofeldspathic samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. The samples were collected from stratigraphic units mapped as the Archaean to early...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

The geology of 42 outcrops is briefly described. All are Precambrian in age and each site is located on a 1:100 000 geological map.

The laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data reported herein derive from three rock samples sourced from the central - northern Gawler Craton, South Australia. These samples have been...

This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

This report presents the results from zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb geochronological age determinations, and both trace and rare earth element abundance geochemical analyses, performed on fifteen outcrop and drill core samples originating from the...

This report presents the results from multi-isotopic apatite and zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on thirteen samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. Eleven drill core samples are interpreted ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks, with most...
