A geological and geophysical investigation was carried out at a proposed site for hospital extensions to check foundation conditions. Interpreted depth to weathered bedrock ranged from 2 to 3 m along two seismic lines. The fill material above bedrock...

From 1920 - 1976, ball clay was mined at Magazine Hill for pottery and porcelainware. Production from 1931 - 1976 was 11 805 tonnes. The light grey plastic clay is composed of kaolin and illite with some quartz, white mica, iron oxides and gypsum. It...

Six holes totalling 659 m were drilled at four locations on the Bookaloo - Mount Gunson section of the Stuart Highway. Supplies of construction quality groundwater were obtained at three of the locations. There is some evidence to suggest that the...

Extensive field geological mapping, augmented by petrological and geochemical studies, reinterpretation of company drilling and water-bore logs and a nine-hole drilling programme has detailed the geology of the KINGOONYA area. The stratigraphy spans...

This report was prepared as a summary of all open file mineral exploration data from the KINGOONYA 1:250000 mapsheet area that are held in the SADME records management Envelope system. The aim of the holdings review was to describe past exploration,...

The principal objective of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) Shields Program and the Primary Industry and Resources of South Australia (PIRSA) Regolith Terranes Group in South Australia is to...

Archaean and Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

The rationale of utilising soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements as a guide to oxidising sulphide is that sulphide oxidation in the presence of water and oxygen will produce sulphuric acid, which in turn will attack any carbonates present to...

Summarises the chemical classification and macroscopic visual attributes of basement igneous rocks seen in outcrop within the regional geological settings of northern Eyre Peninsula and the Gawler Ranges.

This interpretation of magnetic and gravity data covering KINGOONYA was undertaken as part of an interpretation of the northern Gawler Craton, and was carried out without reference to any previous geophysical interpretation. Most of the work is based...

Beda Volcanics and Backy Point Formation crop out in only a few localities on northeastern Eyre Peninsula, north of Whyalla, but drilling has shown them to extend for approximately 170 km to the north below younger cover. The Beda Volcanics comprise...

Two licence subareas located in the north-eastern Cariewerloo Basin were taken up to explore for possible economic Athabasca Basin style, unconformity - related uranium deposits of potentially high grade (>25% U), similar to the McArthur River...

An area located on the northern Stuart Shelf between Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill, approx. 50 km south-southwest of the latter, has been explored for possible Olympic Dam type iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits and for Canadian...

Soil and calcrete geochemical data is presented for the now relinquished portions of EL 3211.

As part of a search for possible buried economic Olympic Dam type IOCG-U deposits in volcanic basement, or for stratiform Athabasca Basin type uranium occurrences in the overlying cover, farminee Marathon Resources carried out detailed calcrete...

Geochemical indicators to buried stratabound copper mineralisation in the Cattlegrid orebody were studied in their primary and secondary dispersion patterns within the overburden, to try to elucidate the likely most effective elements and the possible...

The subject report describes the results of drilling two fully cored rotary holes totalling 1161.10 m at the Chianti prospect, an unusually-shaped residual gravity anomaly located in Gunson Resources' EL 3264, 20 km north-east of the Mount Gunson...

Following further detailed ground gravity surveying and data processing carried out to better understand the gravity response of relatively dense and weakly magnetic basement rocks at the Marathon South prospect, located within EL 3209 and lying...

The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

EL 3511 licensee Debnal and its joint venture partner Venture Minerals are exploring an area of the eastern Gawler Craton having a predicted high potential for the discovery of Olympic Dam type iron oxide - associated copper-gold-uranium (IOCG-U)...
