Further electromagnetic and induced polarization work has been carried out in the Tarcoola Blocks mine and Brown Hill areas at Tarcoola to extend and substantiate previous investigations (ref. RB 59/128, 23 November 1964). The latest results...

The lease application was made on 11th September 1959. The locality was inspected by Mr. B.P. Thomson, Senior Geologist, and Mr. G. Bruff, Secretary, on 28th September 1959. The lease area was not manned and no evidence was found that active...

Small amounts of copper carbonate, which were mined on a small scale in 1890, occur in Adelaide System slates, 25 miles north south east of Radium Hill and 4 miles south south west of Mutooroo Homestead. No payable concentrations of copper were found...

Greywackes and phyllitic slates of the Kanmantoo Series intruded by quartz veins carrying gold and in part lateralised occur in the area mapped. Gold values are too low to warrant further development and it is recommended that permission be granted to...

Two high grade hematite orebodies reported by R.L. Jack (Bulls, 3 and 9, Geological Survey of South Australia) were located and mapped on Section 5, Hundred of Campoona. Samples were taken for petrological examination and assay. No further action is...

Small quantities of gold from both shallow alluvial and underground workings have been produced since discovery in 1892. Mineralization is associated with NW trending faults cutting the Auburn Dolomite and Watervale Sandstone Member of the Burra...

9.1 million tonnes of crude ore and 2.5 million tonnes of dressed ore, averaging 3.39 and 3.61% copper respectively, were produced from 1890 to 1923. Output totalled 336 000 tonnes of copper and 1682 kg of fine gold. Some of the gold was purchased...

13 869 tonnes of ore were treated, with recovery of 260 080 g of gold bullion by amalgamation and cyanidation. 34 500 g of gold remain in tailings at the site.

From 1873 to 1894, this goldfield, located 35 km north of Yunta, produced over 45,000 ounces (1400 kg) of gold from approximately 60,000 tonnes of ore, dug from a series of quartz-ironstone-pyrite reefs that dip southwards at 32 degrees on the...

The diamond and base metal potential is appraised based on recent company exploration for gold and diamond bearing kimberlites, with special reference to regional stratigraphy, tectonic structures based on the Echunga detailed low level aeromagnetic...

Mineral Lease 5316, covering workings of Homeward Bound mine, is traversed by a stratabound quartz, ironstone, calcite, pyrite lode in thinly laminated grey calcareous siltstones of Umberatana Group, Enorama Shale.Homeward Bound reef has been explored...

2 seismic refraction profiles aimed to test the method in searching for alluvial channels incised into Adelaidean bedrock in EL1413. Interpreted depths to bedrock of 6-10 metres were confirmed by follow-up drilling and an indication of the bedrock...

Treated tailings yielded 20 000 grams of gold in 1981 - 82, using carbon-in-pulp process.

Investigation of part of the nose of the Mount Grainger Anticline where minor gold and copper occurrences are known, and anomalous Au, Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Mn, Ba and Fe values have been detected by stream sediment surveys. 692 soil and 63 rock chip...

Gold mineralization, discovered in 1882, occurs in quartz ironstone veining in three main areas - Aureous Line, Dustholes Range and Mount Grainger area. Maximum depth of any working is the 100.58 metres deep Mount Grainger Main Shaft. Includes...

Reports of gold occurrences within SA date from 1840. The first authenticated discovery was on 4 April 1846 by Tyrell from the Victoria Copper mine, near Castambul, 18 km ENE of Adelaide, the first in Australia from which actual mining operations...

37 000 tonnes of gold-copper ore have been produced from the Kitticoola Mine in five phases of mining during its 150 year history. 30 000 tonnes were mined as gold ore, yielding 162 560 grams of gold at an average grade of 5.4 grams/tonne. 7 000...
