Samples examined for stratigraphic identification.

Utah's ongoing exploration for possible economic, buried stratiform Late Proterozoic copper orebodies at Kapunda and in the surrounding district has consisted principally of percussion and diamond drilling (66 and 9 holes respectively, totalling...

Exploration for possible stratiform or hydrothermal/epithermal base and precious metals within Adelaidean metasedimentary cover and Middle Proterozoic crystalline basement in the Cultana area, 35 km south-southwest of Port Augusta, has consisted of...

Stratabound, metasedimentary iron ore was the principal target of exploration undertaken by BHP over a large area surrounding the Moonabie Range that extends along strike and borders the north-western side of Spencer Gulf. Base and precious metals...

Continuing assessment of the stratiform copper potential of the Kapunda Mine area and now also the surrounding country has consisted of diamond and percussion drilling, assaying of mineralised intersections (best intercept 10 m @ 2.13% Cu from 427-437...

The extension of railways through Eyre's Peninsula, and the opening up of the country to agricultural settlement has made the problem of water supply a matter of grave concern to the Government of South Australia. Large centrally situated reservoirs,...

Stratiform copper sulphides, hosted within the basal Tapley Hill Formation, and extensions of known kimberlite bodies were targeted in this program. Reconnaissance and closer (down to 1 km x 1 km) spaced diamond and percussion drilling (28 and 83...

A preliminary regional tectonic model and a broad stratigraphic scheme for the basement and cover rocks on the newly defined Gawler Craton are briefly summarised and are depicted on accompanying maps within the text, being conclusions drawn by SADM...

Possible economic buried IOCG mineralisation thought to be associated with a regional gravity anomaly in the Moonabie area, located approximately 100 km south-west of Port Augusta, has been investigated by conducting gravity surveys during...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

This report contains the excursion guide for the field trip which was held as part of the Chief Government Geologists' Meeting convened in South Australia on 23rd and 24th March 2015. The focus of the field trip was to see rocks of the Gawler Range...

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...

The Gluepot Granite is a heterogeneous granite comprising coarse-grained porphyritic granite and medium-grained equigranular granite, as well as late stage pegmatite and aplite phases. It occurs as a large pluton intruding the c. 1755 Ma Moonabie...

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...

Two basin systems in north-eastern Eyre Peninsula comprising Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and volcanic successions are described in terms of rock age and provenance. The older system comprises the Myola Volcanics and the Broadview Schist, which...
