Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

The Niton Corp. XL-700 series portable XRF analyser was trialed by members of the Musgrave Team, PIRSA Geological Survey Branch, to determine its viability for use in the field by DME and exploration company personnel. Analyses of soil (250 micron...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

At least 90% of the phosphate was leached with either nitric, hydrochloric or sulphuric acids. Products unsuitable for the surface preparation of steel. The most promising outlet would be for upgrading the P2O5 content of super phosphate fertilizer.

Adelaide lies towards the western margin of the Delamerian Fold Belt which extends across strike as far east as the Glenelg Province in western Victoria. Outcrop across this belt is very incomplete as most of the region of the Murray Basin is covered...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

The Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. Whilst most of the Province is obscured by younger sedimentary cover, regions of exposure are present in the northwest as the Mount...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials during the six monthly period ended 31 December 2001. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...

Palynological analyses of eight cuttings and three sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole Troas 1, in the SA offshore Otway Basin, show two distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The youngest samples are dated as Late Eocene,...

Three drill cutting samples of carbonaceous sands were submitted for palynological analysis. The spore-pollen assemblages of drillholes NR 3 (from the depth interval 16-18 m) and NR 4 (16-18 m) are possibly of the latest Eocene Upper Nothofagidites...

Open file company exploration information, released since the previous exploration review (McCallum, 1998) on the CURNAMONA 1:250,000 mapsheet area [note: this scale of mapsheet has its name conventionally written in capitals], is reviewed in this...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

Abstracts include: 3D inversion of potential field data from the Olympic Cu-Au province. 40Ar/39Ar ages from sericitic alteration in central Gawler gold prospects: timing constraints on gold mineralisation? Baggy Green Gold prospect - Central Gawler...

In his two month - long technical secondment from PIRSA to Canadian major nickel explorer and producer Inco Ltd, the mode of genesis of the Reid Brook Zone of the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper mineralised magmatic system was analysed by the author using...

This set of notes has been compiled to furnish attendees at the title event with the geological framework for, and provide data on, all of the drill core displayed at the Gawler Craton 2004: State of Play seminar/core display. It contains...

This report contains summaries of categorised relevant GIS data types, i.e. in the geology, regolith, geochemistry, geophysics, spectral, topographic, land tenure and cultural categories, for all datasets which have been located to date. It includes...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...
