Three forms of stromatolites mineralogically composed of hydromagnesite and aragonite occur in two ephemeral lakes near the Coorong Lagoon. None occur in the Lagoon or other lakes. The three forms are stratiform, globular and crenulate. Each is built...

Magnesite has been produced at a continuous steady rate principally for F.H. Faulding & Co. Ltd., chemical manufacturers in Adelaide. Small tonnages have been mined for refractory purposes by the Broken Hill Pty. Co. Ltd. from deposits at...

'Industrial minerals' are those minerals or assemblages of minerals which are economically important because of their physical or chemical properties, rather than their metal or energy content. The term is synonymous with 'non-metallic minerals', and...

This study reports on a project to establish a magnesium oxide derivatives business in South Australia, by exploiting a resource of sedimentary magnesite held by Commercial Minerals Ltd (a member of the Normandy Poseidon Group of companies). Aspects...

A search primarily directed at assessing the stratiform copper and magnesite potential of an area centred 50 km south-west of Marree has consisted mainly of office studies comprising the collection and review of open file geoscientific data. Early in...

61% of a subsequent licence area located in the southern Willouran Ranges has been surrendered due to its perceived diminished prospectivity for buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation and inferred MVT, replacement or...

HyLogging systems, and the PIMA and ASD field spectrometers (Terraspec, Labspec and Fieldspec), are a generation of analysis instruments which provide rapid and cost effective data on sample mineralogy and on mineral characteristics. Spectral...

No anomalous metal values were returned from reconnaissance stream sediment and rock chip sampling carried out over an area 20 to 30 km east to south-east of Hawker, although one sample showed 43.8% MgO content. More detailed geochemical sampling is...

Push tube sampling of lakebed sediments was carried out in two separate salt lake areas at the northern and southern extremities of a large dolomitic magnesite deposit located south-east of Salt Creek, adjacent to the Coorong. The northern area lake...

A partly defined magnesite resource thought to be of the order of 579 million tonnes in size, consisting of a series of semi-continuously outcropping magnesite beds ranging in thickness from 0.5 m to 9.0 m, is situated within the northern Flinders...
