Investigations into the recovery of copper metal from oxidised ores present in the abandoned historic open cut mine and surrounding dumps at Burra were carried out by Amdel at the request of the South Australian Government's Department of Mines...

Water well monitoring data from wells on Aboriginal lands (Pitjantjatjara, Yalata and Nepabunna) are summarised for the period April to October 2000. Equipment failure was high, with faults recorded at 17 wells, particularly of the 2100P standing...

The Kingston coal deposit, located within a geographic area that extends between 20 and 40 km north-east of Kingston (South-East) township, comprises 985 Mt of lignite shallowly interbedded in Tertiary sediments, in a series of seams that now (in a...

Olympic Dam style iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Stuart Shelf, and Mount Gunson type younger Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted copper mineralisation, were the targets of...

Coal samples collected by the SADME Fossil Fuels Div. from the Leigh Creek Coalfield during its recent drilling programme have been examined and analysed according to preset parameters to allow comparison of average coal quality between this field and...

A mining and mineral processing feasibility study was commissioned by E-Z Corp. from industrial engineering consultant Davy-Ashmore in October 1971, and was completed in February 1972, to define all foreseeable technical aspects of the processes...

When Samin Ltd decided in 1969 to re-open the Burra mine for open pit extraction and onsite processing of the substantial remnant orebody of oxidised copper minerals, it was initially envisaged that the copper recovery method would involve an acid...

TARGET: Lower Permian coal of steaming or coking grade, suitable for open cut development. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling of 42 open and partly cored holes totalling 5122 m, including 105 m of coring, with follow-up geophysical logging. RESULTS: 7...

Exploration for possible economic Tertiary lignite and coal seams within sediments overlying the northern flank of the Padthaway Ridge palaeo-archipelago in the western Murray Basin has consisted of the drilling and geological/geophysical logging of 7...

A largely soil and dune-covered area bordering the eastern side of the Nullarbor Plain near Lake Tallacootra was investigated initially for possible Precambrian metasedimentary iron ore ocurrences, that may be associated with a number of narrow...

TARGET: Permian coal in the Tallaringa Trough, east of Maralinga. EXPLORATION: An 11 hole RC drilling programme totalling 1480 m. RESULTS: Eight drillholes intersected up to 4 horizons of lignite and lignitic clay of demonstrated Eocene age, that...

Of recent times the client Electrolytic Zinc Co. has sought increased reserves of ore at Crocker Well with a view to making it a profitable uranium mining venture. Although definite limits of ore reserves and grades have still not yet been...

Report describes the technical feasibility and cost estimates for gasifying brown coal from the Moorlands and Leigh Creek deposits, which are the largest such coal deposits known to exist in South Australia. The coal would be gasified by conversion...

The target was lignite or oil shale hosted by Tertiary sediments possibly preserved on top of a series of tilted fault blocks bordering the western shoreline of Spencer Gulf, due south-west of Whyalla. 29 vertical rotary mud drillholes (total 2729...

This project was designed to determine the potential of various clays to absorb harmful or toxic substances present in water intended for human use. The clay samples that were selected for study contain significant amounts of either smectite, kaolin,...

Drilling of 49 rotary mud and partially cored holes totalling 1443 m (of which only 20 holes penetrated into the top of the basement) has been undertaken at the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin to further outline an occurrence of Tertiary lignite...

TARGET: To define lignite in the Wilkinson Lakes lignite deposit which is of a composition that would be suitable to undergo carbon beneficiation and/or coal liquefaction processes; also, any economic oil shale occurrences and/or sedimentary uranium...

Olympic Dam or Moonta-Wallaroo style concealed iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Stuart Shelf, and Mount Gunson type younger Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted buried copper...
