This dataset presents the observations and interpretive results of a project aiming to define and classify the complex suite of volcanic rocks found outcropping within the Gawler Ranges, as a corollary to regional geological mapping by the SA...

Historical workings at the Glenloth Goldfield were the target for 10 exploratory RC drillholes put down by Minotaur Exploration during May-June 2006 as a PACE Initiative Year 3 project. Their accepted proposal was to drill a series of RC percussion...

An area centred ~50 km south-east of Tailem Bend has been explored for possible economic buried primary stratiform and epithermal deposits of base metals that may have formed within Cambrian bedrock, close to where the current licensees and previous...

TARGET: Possible diamonds and diapir-associated copper mineralisation in an area extending south and west from Lyndhurst. EXPLORATION: Drainage geochemical and gravel sampling, ground magnetic and IP surveys, and percussion and shallow RAB drilling of...

The intersection of massive halite in the ?Lower Palaeozoic sequence in Occidental Petroleum's Mercury 1 wildcat oil exploration well drilled in the offshore Polda Basin generated interest in the Tuckey area onshore for potash associated with similar...

During exploration carried out in an area located approximately 60 km south-west of Anna Creek, Newmont targeted Zambian Copperbelt - style mineralisation similar to perceived equivalents of the then newly discovered and poorly understood Olympic Dam...

Exploration for possible Archaean submarine fissure volcanogenic copper-nickel deposits, and for Silverton (Colorado) vein - type late stage hydrothermal base metal-silver-gold mineralisation associated with collapsed Gawler Range caldera structures,...

27 rotary drill holes (total 213m.) tested for copper-nickel mineralisation associated with a gabbro margin. It was concluded that copper-nickel values of several hundred parts per million is restricted to a small area near the gabbro/hornfels...

This student vacational project report, for the Department's Petroleum Exploration Div., aimed to correlate the basement rocks met with in Great Australian Bight area offshore and near onshore petroleum exploration wells with outcropping formations...

The eastern Gawler Craton is the location of the Olympic Cu-Au Province, a world-class metallogenic province known for iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena (Skirrow et al., 2007;...

Copper minerals are widespread within the Oraparinna and Enorama diapiric structures and along faults which radiate therefrom; some thirty copper prospects are known and barytes lodes, including the deposits being mined by S.A. Barytes Ltd., are...

Potential sources of breakwater construction material in the area surrounding Port MacDonnell have been investigated. Deposits of dolomite, basalt and flint pebbles in the area were inspected, and the presence of granite near Dergholm in Victoria has...

A review made of the literature covering post-Precambrian volcanism in South Australia has indicated that less well-known, minor, mainly acid to intermediate volcanic rocks of the lower Palaeozoic are separated by a wide time gap from the better known...

The extent of the post-Miocene volcanics in South Australia is small; the volcanics are restricted to the South East and Kangaroo Island. Where volcanic cones exist they are of the explosive type and on Kangaroo Island there are remnants of flows. The...

Older volcanic basalt outcrops in the north bank of Salt Creek 7 miles north of Dergholm (Section 42, Parish Dergholm, Victoria). Investigation of this olivine basalt flow with amygdules of zeolite, by surface mapping, auger and diamond drilling has...

Olivine basalt occurring three miles E.S.E. of Dergholm has been investigated by drilling and laboratory testing. Float and a single exposure are weathered, but fresh basalt occurs under an overburden of 5-20 feet (average 11.9 feet). Olivine...

The construction of a stone-mound breakwater at Fort MacDonnell will require about 100,000 to 170,000-tons of suitable stone. Individual blocks should be about 5 tons in weight, and an amount as yet unspecified should contain individual blocks which...

At the request of the resident engineer, Southern District, Engineering and Water Supply Department, an inspection was made on the 1st September, 1965 of excavations in progress of the site of the Mount Gambier Pumping Station. Progress report no 1,...
