Sandstone as a building material was used extensively in Adelaide and regional South Australia from the founding of the colony until the end of World War II. However, since 1945 the industry has declined steadily, with closure of many quarries, until...

Between July 2015 and April 2016, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in collaboration with the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC), Minotaur Exploration Limited and Kingston Resources Limited, carried out a...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2013–2014, South Australia produced 4399 t of uranium, representing 80% of Australia’s total uranium production of 5512 t, and equating to 9.2% of the world’s total...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2010–11, South Australia produced 4276 t of uranium, representing 60% of Australia’s total uranium production of 7035 t, and equating to 11% of the world’s total...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The Carrapateena mineral discovery was the outcome of a PACE Initiative drilling project co-funded by RMG Services Pty Ltd and the Government of South Australia. Two holes were drilled, the second of which (CAR002) encountered a major body of...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

Concerted exploration for possible stratiform Mount Gunson type or epithermal Olympic Dam type base metal deposits, on the south-eastern edge of the Stuart Shelf near Port Pirie, was begun by North Broken Hill Ltd in response to the public release by...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2008/2009, South Australia produced 4 613 t of uranium, representing 45% of Australia's total uranium production of 10 311 t, and equating to 9.5% of the world's...

While South Australia is well known as having within its borders major iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Hillside, there has until now been a lack of publically accessible...

The Gawler Range Volcanics may be underlain by granite while the Pandurra Formation is not necessarily underlain by the Gawler Range Volcanics. Basement depths may range from few hundred metres in the Fiddle Hill area to few thousand metres in the...

Ground magnetic, ground gravity and electrical geophysical surveys were carried out during base metal exploration of SAEI-identified structural and aeromagnetic anomalies located along the northern margin of Lake Gairdner, searching for epithermal...

During January and April 1966, 10,611 feet of reconnaissance and infill percussion drilling plus 300 feet of auger drilling were carried out on SML 96, around the former Main Open Cut and Lagoon workings of the historic Mount Gunson copper mine, with...

Interpretation of existing geophysical and drillhole data, including core chip re-assaying and petrography, was carried out for four areas located approximately 60 km north-west of Woomera. Interpreted geophysical features of the basement are...

Reconnaisance calcrete and rock chip geochemical sampling plus RAB/aircore drilling (8 vertical holes, total 432 m) were carried out during gold exploration conducted north-east and south-west of Glendambo. Crystalline basement was not reached in the...

Ground magnetic and regional infill and detailed gravity surveys, plus Maxi-Probe ground EM soundings, were carried out on two grids laid out near Beddome Hill, which lies 35 km west of Roxby Downs Homestead, to investigate a 4-6 mGal regional gravity...

Report briefly discusses the mode of occurrence and inferred genesis of a previously worked small barite deposit, now located within EL 50, that is the subject of new interest by a private prospector seeking permission to peg a mineral claim.

Exploration for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au in the Myall Creek area, located 15-50 km north of Whyalla, comprised surface geological mapping and orientation calcrete geochemical sampling, together with the re-logging, petrographic examination and...

A review of existing geophysical data was carried out over an area west of and extending for 90 km south of Woomera. Further aerial magnetic surveys are seen as necessary to define areas of thin Pandurra Formation and younger cover, and to locate...
