An area located immediately east of Lake Frome was considered to be prospective for iron-oxide associated copper - gold - rare earth element (IOCG-REE) mineralisation of Olympic Dam style formed within concealed Mid-Proterozoic granitic basement....

A research project to determine the leaching behaviour of oxidised copper ores at laboratory scale was undertaken by Amdel at the request of the South Australian Department of Mines. The trials took place using sulphuric acid lixiviant acting on the...

Kaolin, derived mainly from deep weathering of Hiltaba Suite granites, was the principal target of exploration in the area south and south-west from Poochera, near Streaky Bay on western Eyre Peninsula. Following a review made of historic drillhole...

An initial investigation programme aimed at obtaining hydraulic data from part of the Lake Phillipson Permian coal field been successfully completed. The initial area under consideration for mining is of approximately 130 hectares within the Western...

Exploration for graphite primarily, and secondarily for BIF-associated massive base metal sulphides, in the area surrounding the historic Uley graphite mine situated 15 km west south-west of Port Lincoln, initially comprised an airborne reconnaissance...

Exploration on SML 564 has consisted of a continuation of deep rotary mud open hole, plug and core drilling plus washing-out of existing, older Petromin "P...w" series drillholes to allow new generation downhole geophysical logging, aimed at further...

The major aim of this project is to develop a method of leaching a range of ore types in the Honeymoon deposit using the push-pull technique. For alkaline leaching, reagent conditions were based on laboratory bottle roll studies and data from the...

Lake Phillipson coal appears to be suitable for liquefaction, giving an 80% solvent-based conversion of dry, ash-free material to 61% coal extract and 19% gas, with the former product yielding 41% mineral oil upon distillation.

This report addresses processes and systems by which Lake Phillipson coal may be converted to fuel gases and liquids, sometimes with the simultaneous production of char. Published literature has been the source of all of the information. Aspects of...

Analyst's reports presenting the results of small scale test work conducted on selected drill core samples of coal taken from the 'S' and 'T' seams in the West Basin deposit of the Lake Phillipson coal measures.

The majority of mineral exploration undertaken in the South Eagle area, centred 40 km north-east of Olary, has targeted stratabound Pb-Zn-Ag, stratabound massive sulphide Cu-Zn-Co-Mn, and Cu-Au mineralisation that may have formed in Proterozoic rocks...

The Kapunda region is principally one in which prolonged denudation, or lowering of the landsurface, has been operative over the past 100 Ma, while the present topographic amplitude of the region is also at its greatest since the onset of the...

Pre-development feasibility studies of the Mount Hope kaolin deposit, located 75 km north-west from Port Lincoln, gave indications that the kaolin might extend beyond the boundaries of the nine Mineral Leases under which the deposit was held....

Aeolianitic lime sands. Part 1. Calcination requirements. Suitable for lime production without prior beneficiation, but too fine for conventional kilns. Use of novel type of fluid bed kiln is proposed. Production of lime from Coffin Bay lime sand....

During October 1977, a limited drilling programme was conducted on the Lake Phillipson coal deposits to provide cores of various seams in selected areas of the Main and West Basins. The results of analyses of these cores are considered in this report...

Consultant's report discusses the intrinsic and comparative nature of, plus possible causes for, the unique chemical composition of Lake Phillipson coal, when compared with coal from other low-rank Australian deposits such as Leigh Creek and the...

In 1993 the SA Government flew a regional aeromagnetic survey over the western Gawler Craton as part of the South Australian Exploration Initiative, which prompted North Ltd to change direction with its BARTON area exploration programme, to address...

Includes all clay mineral analytical data presently available on the "Australian Clay Register", as developed by the CSIRO with sponsorship from the Commonwealth's Department of National Development, the Bureau of Mineral Resources, and the South...

A licence area covering the flat alluvial Paralana Plains extending out eastwards from the northern Flinders Ranges was taken up by the the consortium of Exoil NL, Petromin NL and Transoil NL to explore for possible economic buried occurrences of...
