An absolute age of 677 Ma +/- 12 Ma was determined from analyses of six selected zircon grains separated from the subject volcanic rock sample, but the result is strongly affected by the need to impose large corrections to the data to compensate for...

This review is aimed at identifying and assessing the impacts of seismic lines and wellsites in the South Australian area of the Cooper Basin. The impacts are assessed in terms of their relative significance (adverse or long lasting effects) to the...

This document details the environmental objectives for geophysical exploration activities that are required to be achieved by any licensee operating in the South Australian part of the Cooper Basin and adjacent areas as indicated in Figure 1. It...

This paper introduces a formal lithostratigraphic scheme for major subdivisions of the Olary Domain, and compares these subdivisions to those of the Broken Hill Domain, these two domains being the main components of the Curnamona Province. The scheme...

The Department for Water Resources drilled three wells at Kangaroo Flat in October and November 2000 as part of a hydrogeological investigation of the area. The wells were drilled as observation wells, and water levels will subsequently be monitored...

In a search for East Alligator River - type metamorphic uranium deposits, a review of previous geophysical data plus the conduct of ground and airborne radiometric surveys disclosed a number of anomalies in an area on central Eyre Peninsula extending...

Exploration was undertaken for lode and alluvial tin mineralisation which might exist within ground adjacent to the abandoned Mount Mitchell tin mine, and also for reef gold in altered granite and dolerites outcropping adjacent to the numerous small...

Acquisition and interpretation of an airborne scintillation spectrometer survey, and the unhindered drilling and gamma and electric logging of 16 rotary open holes (total 3242 feet), were undertaken. Lower Tertiary non-marine palaeochannel sand...

Ongoing exploration for sedimentary uranium deposits and other radioactive minerals, in the plains area north-west of Lake Frome, consisted of the drilling and geophysical logging of 56 rotary holes for a total of 29,708 feet. Drillhole 355-1, which...

Under a joint venture agreement made between North Flinders Mines and Dampier Mining Co. (a BHP Exploration subsidiary), operative over the 7 square mile SML 705 between 14/9/1973 and 14/3/1974, at least 3500 feet of additional appraisal diamond...
