Exposures of Proterozoic rocks consist of coarse-grained, megacrystic granitoids plus dolerite and metadolerite dykes. This igneous association is correlated with the Donington Granitoid Suite and represents the southernmost exposure of the Gawler...

Mafic dykes and granitoid intrusions were emplaced around the southeastern margins of the Adelaide Foldbelt immediately prior to, during and following the Cambro-Ordovician (ca 500 Ma) Delamerian Orogeny, but are relatively uncommon elsewhere within...

All 4 rotary mud drill cuttings samples examined from parts of the precollar hole depth interval 64 m to 148 m are Late Eocene - Oligocene in age.

The geology and mineralisation of the prospective northeast segment of the Gawler Craton is the focus of the Stuart Shelf Basement Project. Geological and technical data from selected open-file drillholes (those that intersected pre-Adelaidean...

A permanent gravity base station network was established in the Coober Pedy / Tarcoola area of the State. 58 new base stations and a number of company surveys were tied to the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) via Isogal stations at...

Palynological evidence indicates that all 13 submitted drill core sedimentary rock samples, excepting one (taken at 138.2 metres depth in hole A68-1), are late Aptian to earliest Albian in age. The sediments were deposited in environments ranging...

This article provides a review of EPMA monazite dating theory together with a detailed description of the analytical method and procedures for the EPMA monazite dating technique developed at Adelaide Microscopy. To verify the accuracy of the method, a...

Exploration currently underway for possible economic buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation within Proterozoic basement on the Mabel Creek High, in one of two joint venture group project licence areas located approximately 50...

[ Note - here is only Part 1 of an abstract relating to 2 separately indexed parts ]. The subject two areas covering the northern outcropping Peake and Denison Ranges basement inliers were taken up by Pancontinental Mining to test for possible...

The abstract for this Envelope is contained (in three parts) as separately indexed records, due to SAMREF database system individual record data size limits presently applicable.

Six samples of Quaternary dune sands taken from the Great Victoria Desert in the far west of South Australia were dated using new geochronological methods. The report explains the equipment and methodology used, and discusses the reliability of the...

As part of a regional search for possible economic buried Olympic Dam type IOCG-U deposits emplaced along the north-eastern margin of the Gawler Craton, adjacent to the Peake and Denison Inliers, Barrick Gold has acquired infill helicopter-borne...

An area situated immediately south-east of Elliston has been explored for diamonds, in conjunction with similar work being carried out by the joint venture on Flinders Island and on its adjoining Venus Bay, Colton and Polda mineral exploration...

It has lately been recognised by explorers that subsidiary fault splays developed adjacent to the main Yarlbrinda Shear Zone may be more prospective for hydrothermal gold deposits than the main zone. In an approved PACE Initiative Year 2 drilling...

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...

When a third joint venture was entered into with Aberfoyle Resources Limited who assumed management of the tenement, the exploration targets changed to syngenetic, stratiform base metal sulphides hosted by gahnite-garnet meta-exhalatives. The...

Diamond exploration undertaken within the relinquished portions of EL 2759, which are located immediately south of William Creek and near the Oodnadatta Track, was focussed on the margin of the Gawler Craton where it is cut by the NNW-trending G2...
