Gold recovery is variable. From 1956 - 1983, total of 2 719.97 tonnes of ore were treated and 35 841 grams of gold bullion recovered. Total ore crushed since operations began in 1897 is 14 808.45 tonnes. Total gold bullion recovered is 349 868 grams....

The Australian continent is well endowed with most mineral and energy resources and its development has been materially assisted by the successful exploitation of these resources. Additional processing of these basic materials would diversify...

Grinding characteristics of talc from the 2 areas were compared. The project was terminated when it became apparent that Lyndoch talc was not as difficult to mill as was originally thought.

Tonnages and gold content of tailings and slimes stockpiled at the Government Stamp Battery at Peterborough were calculated from hand auger drilling and mining return records. The amount of recoverable gold was determined by mineralogical and...

Two deposits comprising gently dipping dolomitic sediments of the Skillogalee Dolomite formation were located during a reconnaissance for construction materials for the Crystal Brook bypass. The southern deposit near Crystal Brook was subsequently...

Quartzite and sandstone of the Stonyfell Quartzite formation of the Burra Group are quarried by Quarry Industries Ltd at Eagle Quarry, located in the Adelaide Hills less than 10 km from the Adelaide GPO. The deposit is fault bounded to the west and...

Since 1962, recorded production from Steetley's barite deposit, which forms part of Linke's lode, has totalled 6,237 tonnes. The deposit is in a Class B Environmental Area within the Flinders Ranges National Park. The steep barite lode has formed in...

Object was to upgrade MgO to 30% and to improve colour of talc. Work included flotation tests and mineralogy. The low grade talc sample was contaminated with albite feldspar, but responded well to flotation to give concentrate containing 97.5% talc...

From commencement of crushing operations in March 1933 until its closure in March 1954, the South Australian State Government battery at Mongolata Goldfield crushed a total of 7600 tonnes of ore for a recovery of 318.25 kg of gold bullion via onsite...

Through the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and at the invitation of the China State Science and Technology Commission, selected Chinese research institutes and universities involved in clay research were visited during...

The Challenger gold deposit lies in the northern Gawler Craton, South Australia, 750 km NW of Adelaide, and 140 km NW of Tarcoola. A 1.5 km traverse (the regolith line) was chosen for the study of geochemical dispersion and regolith stratigraphy...

The principal objective of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) Shields Program and the Primary Industry and Resources of South Australia (PIRSA) Regolith Terranes Group in South Australia is to...

Mount Compass is an important sand resource area. The ACI Glenshera sand pit, which supplies Australia's largest container glass plant at West Croydon with over 100 000 tonnes per year of glass sand, is also a major source of foundry sand. Four...

The Torrens Rural Catchment can be divided into three zones where groundwater extraction from fractured rock aquifers is significant - the Fourth and Sixth Creek catchments, and the Birdwood - Gumeracha area. The Fourth Creek Catchment, which is...

This project has developed an innovative method to determine the sustainable yield of groundwater resources in fractured rock aquifers of the Mount Lofty Ranges, using new and existing geographic information system (GIS) datasets. Groundwater...

An increase in groundwater salinity in parts of the Padthaway area threatens the sustainability of established irrigation developments. A number of management options to mitigate the groundwater salinity increase are being considered by State...

The United States Geological Survey software package MODFLOW was used to construct a three-layer predictive simulation model of the groundwater flow underlying Emu Springs, an area in the southern Mallee region of South Australia near Tintinara. The...

The Cainozoic Eucla Basin has been the focus of recent heavy mineral exploration due to the recognition of Tertiary coastal features including the Ooldea Range. Hypsometric and Landsat data, together with detailed work on the Tertiary stratigraphy of...

A data review undertaken by MESA to assess the prospectivity of the northern Flinders Ranges intramontane basins for concealed Triassic coal, highlighted four main areas as having the best potential for a discovery. Of these, the alluvium-covered...
