TARGET: Evaluation of the diamond-bearing potential of known lamprophyre intrusive bodies in the Terowie area. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance loam and drainage indicator mineral bulk sampling and geochemical sampling, petrographic and mineralogical...

Evaluation of the diamond potential of the Arckaringa area, 50 km south-west of Oodnadatta, which is here considered to be a region both tectonically and geologically favourable for the past emplacement of kimberlitic intrusive bodies, has comprised...

Contains a report on seismic modelling of the Pretty Hill Sandstone section in the well,and a regional petrological review of this formation centering on Sawpit 1 data, plus some brief faxed comments regarding the well palynology.

Two drill cuttings samples from 2842 and 2860 feet depth KB in Apollo 1 (economic basement) were examined for their heavy mineral composition as an aid to stratigraphic correlation with Precambrian sediments found in the adjacent onshore. The well...

Diamond exploration over an area located approximately 35 km south-east of Yunta was undertaken to assess an interpreted structural environment that may be similar to one existing nearby to the west close to Terowie, in which shallowly buried,...

TARGET: Diamonds in the Mount Hope area on western Eyre Peninsula. EXPLORATION: An airborne magnetic-radiometric survey (SADME / BMR / Stockdale 1988), heavy mineral sampling, follow-up ground magnetic surveying, and RAB drilling (91 holes totalling...

A project to compare Gawler Craton iron formations of unknown age with those of known Archaean age (from geochronology) and with the Proterozoic, Lake Superior - type Middleback Range iron deposits has concentrated on characterising each formation by...

Exploration for possible economic stratiform/volcanogenic base metal sulphide deposits hosted by the (elsewhere) pyrite - bearing Early Cambrian Bruckunga Formation, in the Vivonne Bay district on south-central Kangaroo Island, was hampered by the...

As part of continuing diamond exploration on the subject five licences, more of the first pass sampling program was completed by Flinders Diamonds in August 2006 via aircore drilling of 47 vertical holes for an aggregate 1852 m aimed at penetrating to...

35 surface samples of various clastic sediments deposited on Kangaroo Island were studied microscopically to see if the respective abundances, composition and mineralogical features of their heavy mineral grain components might shed light on possible...

Exploration for possible commercial diamond deposits has been carried out along a portion of the G2 gravity lineament located immediately south of William Creek and the southern Peake and Denison Ranges, looking for inferred diamondiferous kimberlite...

An area centred approximately 110 km north of Port Augusta, covering part of the Pernatty Ridge plateau on the south-western side of Lake Torrens, approximately 145 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine, was taken up to explore for possible economic...

This field guide presents an introduction to the geology and tectonics of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, particularly as observed at the Corny Point locality. Topics covered include the detrital zircon age distributions within the Corny Point...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

The Resource Assessment and Advice (RAA) team of the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) was approached by John Chesini of Chesini House Pty Ltd to provide feedback as to the suitability of stone within Mining Lease (ML) 6426 for the purpose...

While looking for possible westward extensions to the Eurelia Kimberlite Province, Stockdale's stream gravel sampling for kimberlitic indicators, followed by ground magnetometer traversing and observation of vegetation anomalies, led to the discovery...
