To promote renewed regional exploration of the northern Yorke Peninsula using modern techniques and concepts, MESA as part of the SAEI programme has prepared a GIS-based data package, which incorporates a study of all available drillcore and a...

The licensee's 1981 coal search programme at Lake Phillipson had the following objectives: - delineation of the total extent of the coal measures; - resolution of seam stratigraphy and correlation of seams between the Main and West Areas; -...

Results suggest enhancement of radon concentration in the air and in the radioactivity of deposited dust close to the tailings dump.

As part of continuing exploration along the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges for economic stratabound base metal occurrences hosted within Kanmantoo Group metasediments, CRAE undertook regional soil and rock chip sampling to confirm the results of 1960s...

This project proposal relates to the potential for mining a vast gypsum deposit located adjacent to Sceale Bay, about 14 km south of Streaky Bay on the west coast of South Australia. Preliminary estimates put the ore reserves of gypsum of 88% purity...

53 individual gypsum deposits are catalogued and described.

The ore submitted for beneficiation consisted of borehole samples from the Handcock tailings dump at the old treatment plant at Moonta. Some 21 boreholes were systematically sunk in this dump by the Mines Department during 1951 to investigate the...

The abandoned and flooded Spring Creek mine, located 7 miles south of Wilmington on the north-western slope of Mount Remarkable, was visited by an officer of the SA Dept of Mines in order to check whether any radioactive minerals were present in still...

An outcrop of quartzite situated on private property on the southern side of the Sturt Highway, 4 miles east of Truro, was visited on 27/2/1953 to perform a geological survey in order to select sites for testing the rock by diamond drilling. The aim...

Four holes have now been logged with a borehole Geiger in the Kadina district. Two of these are holes sited on scintillometer anomalies obtained in a recent survey of the area, and the remaining two are the last holes of an "M.G." series to be...

It is proposed to raise the production rate at the Leigh Creek Coalfield from half a million tons to two million tons per annum. From an economic point of view as well as from the point of view of rate of production open cut mining would be preferable...

Coal has been proved at Lobe C to a depth of 220 feet of overburden in an arcuate area along the southern and western margins of the basin. Within the suggested open cut area the coal seam averages 35 feet in thickness, has a weighted average ash...

During 1944 and 1945 the Department of Mines carried out exploratory work in the Mount Painter uranium field for the Commonwealth Department of Supply and Shipping with the object of assisting the purposes of the British Government. This work ceased...

An area located on the north-eastern margin of the Telford Basin, to the east of the present extent of theTelford Open Cut mine main pit, which is known to contain potentially mineable buried coal seams, has been examined geologically and...

The present survey was carried out in the search for further occurrences of magnesite, south of the deposit exposed in the Pt. Germain Gorge and closer to transport facilities.
