To evaluate potash potential, brine samples were collected from below the dry bed of Lake Cadibarrawirracanna, and analysed for Ca, Mg, Na, K, B, HCO3, C1, total phosphate and sulphate. Potassium contents were too low to be of interest.

An area centred ~90 km south-east of Tarcoola and adjacent to the western shore of Lake Gairdner is being explored for possible economic buried Carrapateena or Prominent Hill style IOCG and polymetallic skarn style mineralisation which may be...

The use of Caustic Magnesia as the precipitant of uranium from ion exchange column eluates, having been decided upon for the flow sheet of the Port Pirie Chemical Treatment Plant, it became necessary to ascertain the conditions under which optimum...

At the commencement of investigations into the chemical extraction of uranium from Radium Rill concentrates, the accented procedure for the elution and precipitation of the uranium after the ion exchange adsorption cycle involved the use of either...

Background: Australia currently imports about 430 000 tons of elemental sulphur per year, valued at about $12,000,000 in 1966. The sulphur is purchased from Canada, the USA and Mexico. The annual production of elemental sulphur in these three...

In a continuing diamond-drill programme designed to define the quality of quarried marble, four inclined holes totalling 1,056.3 feet were drilled for the Company in 1966. The marginal zone of inferior-grade material (below 95% CaCO3) which has been...

At Up-and-Down Rocks the Gambier Limestone has been irregularly dolomitised. The deposit supplies about 10 000 tons of dolomite a year for the manufacture of sheet glass. It is pale brown to pink, and varies from very hard rock to loose sand; all...

Exploration conducted by CSR Ltd for possible economic stratiform base metal deposits in the western part of EL 81 addressed several targets, including Cattle Grid type disconformity - related copper mineralisation, Sweet Nell / MG14 type...

Report discusses the scope and costing of a calcining and hydration plant designed to produce 100,000 long tons per annum of 95% MgO from dolomite rock feedstock mined at Alberrie Creek, detailing the many input assumptions made in arriving at final...

Composite channel samples of outcropping dolomite rock, taken from the banks of the lower Neales River, were subjected to laboratory tests to find out which physical property of the raw material best relates to its actual MgO content. The aim is to...
