The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

Exploration in the Moonabie area, located 40 km south-west of Whyalla, was aimed at possible concealed epithermal or Alligator Rivers (NT) type stratabound uranium occurrences within the Lower Proterozoic metasedimentary/metavolcanic sequence....

Exploration for uranium in the vicinity of Lake Gilles targeted the Lower Proterozoic Cleve Metamorphics and the unconformably overlying sandstone, conglomerate and rhyolite units of Carpentarian age, searching initially for analogues to the deposits...

As part of Esso's continued exploration programme for buried Late Proterozoic stratiform uranium deposits in the Uno - Corunna area, detailed geochemical, petrological, thermoluminescence and lead isotope studies were performed on samples obtained by...

Exploration targets were economic deposits of oil shale and coal in Eocene sediments deposited on the downthrown parts of fault blocks, under the coastal plain between Whyalla and Cowell. Four rotary drillholes totalling 133.5 m tested the Cainozoic...

This paper provides a formal definition of the Cultana Subsuite, outlining the igneous petrology of the intrusion, its geochemical characteristics, and the nature of hydrothermal alteration and brecciation affecting the rocks. The Cultana Subsuite is...

Infill aeromagnetic and ground gravity surveys undertaken approximately 50 km west of Port Augusta were followed by an IP survey and lag sampling. Anomalous Cu and Au values were returned, but only a minimal IP response was recorded. Regolith mapping...

Exploration targeted copper porphyry style mineralisation in the Cultana Homestead area, and was concentrated at two locations where traces of copper mineralisation were found at the surface. At Old Point Lowly mine, malachite concretions were found...

Surface geological mapping and open hole rotary drilling of 21 stratigraphic holes totalling 8717 m were carried out within the relinquished ground portion, which from reviewing the results is regarded as having low potential for copper and other base...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

Cultana is located on parts of the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, northern Spencer Gulf and south-western Flinders Ranges, and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoarchaean-Mesoproterozoic Gawler Craton, the Neoproterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline, Torrens...

This report describes the results of a MESA consultant's second generation regional geological mapping and drillhole data interpretation work for the Roopena and Uno 1:100 000 sheets on PORT AUGUSTA, performed during 1993 and 1994 as part of the SAEI...

The Cultana basement 3D Geological Model covers a region which includes the Roopena, and western half of the Cultana, 1:100,000 mapsheet areas. The subsurface geology that has been modelled comprises a succession of deformed Palaeoproterozoic...

This inaugural regolith map of the southern Gawler Ranges margin provides a valuable regional overview of the main regolith types and their associated landforms, plus a general outline of the major areas of bedrock or regolith-dominated terrain, as...

This work was undertaken to try to determine the age relationships between the various formations in the Moonabie Range, namely, the Moonabie Grit, the Moonabie Porphyry and the Corunna Conglomerate. The stratigraphic relationships that were observed...

Poorly described Lower Carpentarian basement ?basic igneous rocks, occurring over an area of approximately 65 square miles situated 3 to 8 miles east and north-east of Iron Knob, were investigated by BHP to establish their exact nature and to assess...
