Mines are significant as Wheal Gawler was the first metalliferous mine in Australia, discovered 1840, produced the first mineral exports, and includes the oldest remaining mine chimney in South Australia.

Description of 16 visual presentation slides. Recent exploration emphasises the potential within SA for epigenetic sulphide mineralisation precipitated as open space fillings in shallow water carbonate sediments formed on the margins of large basins,...

Exploration for Mississippi Valley type (MVT) lead zinc along the western margin of the Park has been confined to the upper part of the Wilkawillina Limestone of the Cambrian Hawker Group, where surface lead, zinc and copper mineralization and karstic...

Investigations have disclosed lead zinc mineralization as open - space filling, in the upper part of the Cambrian, Wilkawillina Limestone. Lead, zinc and copper mineralization is associated with dolomitization, facies changes, and karstic features...

In a regional soil sampling survey over Willyama Complex rocks on parts of the Outalpa 1:50 000 Sheet, 2443 samples were collected at 25 metres intervals on 54 lines roughly 1km apart. These samples were analysed for CU, PB, Zn, Au, Mn, Mo, Co, Ni, V,...

History from 1884 when silver, lead and copper were discovered in the Rapid Bay area.

Brief description of the workings and historical outline from daily newspapers and Mining Reviews. Since discovery in 1899, 371.07 tonnes of ore have yielded 35 923.91 grams of gold bullion, ore being treated at Mount Torrens and Peterborough...

Stockpiles of tailings from abandoned gold mines are small and probably do not warrant retreatment individually. Total of 71 000 tonnes of tailings are at Government Battery sites at Mount Torrens, Peterborough, Glenloth, Tarcoola and Mongolata. The...

Basic information on history, production, mining, geology, mineral processing, and exploration at various mines and prospects. Main purpose is to demonstrate features of Adelaidean and other mineralization.

Semi quantitative spectroscopy on samples from the Mount Howden Mine gave anomalous results. The best recording was 35cm of greater than 1% Zn, greater than 1% Pb and 10ppm Ag. An interval (10m thick) of above background copper, silver, lead, Zinc,...

About 1,500 samples were collected during a stream sediment sampling survey on the Riverton and Eudunda 1:63 360 geological sheets and analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, W, Mo, Nb, Co and Mn. Rolling means, residual values, correlation coefficients and mean...

Volcanism associated with the Middle Proterozoic Gawler Range acid volcano-plutonic province was initiated in the Kokatha area by the construction on Archaean basement of a large stratovolcano composed mainly of tholeiitic basalt and potassic basaltic...

144 samples from 20 sq km of Umberatana Group were assayed. Anomalous Zn (max. 190 ppm) and Pb (max. 70 ppm) occur in northwest of the area in Balcanoona Formation. Anomalous values also occur at Mount Ogilvie Goldfield.

1389 samples were collected. Pronounced copper zinc anomaly occurs immediately north of Mount Rufus area and lesser copper, lead and zinc anomalies continue along strike to the north. Anomalies occur in Sturt Tillite and Tapley Hill Formation mostly...

Gold mineralisation occurs near Orama Hill, situated north of Koonamore Station Homestead, and at Kirkeek?s Treasure gold mine on the Nillinghoo Goldfield. These two localities are about 25 km apart, and lie along the axis of the Orama Hill Anticline....

Various petrophysical property measurements (total count radiometric, mag susceptibility and specific gravity) were made at 1-metre intervals on samples of stored drill core recovered from the hole depth range 210 m to 710 m (TD) in SADME Wilkinson 1...

Wilkinson 1 stratigraphic well was drilled by the SA Department of Mines and Energy in mid-1978, about 250 km south-west of Coober Pedy, in the Tallaringa Trough. Here a thick section of Cambrian claystones, limestones and evaporites, at least 594 m...
