In response to reports of uraniferous palaeochannel sands being found by assaying stored samples taken from Cootabarlow 2 bore, Santos' nearby scout drilling of 5 rotary percussion holes totalling 594 m failed to disclose subsurface radiometric...

Uranium has been the mainstay of mineral exploration and mining in the Curnamona Province of South Australia since the early prospecting activity at Radium Hill in 1906 and Mount Painter in 1910. Larger scale mining and exploration began after the...

The northern Curnamona Province includes the northern Flinders Ranges, comprising the Mounts Babbage and Painter Inliers (Palaeoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic crystalline basement) and overlying metasediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline...

This tour guide presents information about fourteen sites of interest to regolith geologists that have been identified within the southern Curnamona Province in places where the regolith is well exposed in the Olary and Barrier Ranges. The sites...

A personal memoir account by Dr. Wopfner concerning the circumstances and process of his scientific discovery during 1957 of the expansive Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary anticlines which outcrop in low relief in the far north-eastern corner of South...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2008/2009, South Australia produced 4 613 t of uranium, representing 45% of Australia's total uranium production of 10 311 t, and equating to 9.5% of the world's...

The Honeymoon and East Kalkaroo sedimentary uranium deposits, located approximately 400 km north-east of Adelaide and 75 km north-west of Broken Hill, are natural concentrations of uranium minerals occurring in the Tertiary age Yarramba Palaeochannel,...

A review of existing drillhole information from the area between Lake Frome and the NSW border targeted sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels. 15 rotary holes totalling 1873 m were drilled in two interpreted palaeochannels, but returned no...

Exploration for sedimentary uranium consisted of research and compilation of previous drilling data, including lithological logs, gamma logs and redox interface distribution maps. Such information compiled from thirty historical drillholes located in...

Kimberlite-seeking loam sampling and soil geochemistry, undertaken in the vicinity of 28 selected magnetic targets distributed within eight separate licence areas extending from 150 km west-northwest of to 120 km north of Oodnadatta, only yielded a...

Sedimentary uranium orebodies within Tertiary palaeochannels were the target of exploration in the area of the Siccus River, south of Lake Frome. Extensive research into available open file past exploration data allowed the identification of both...

Sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels was the target of exploration in an area 90 km east of Lake Frome, adjacent to the NSW border. Work included research and compilation of open file drilling data, compilation of structural contour maps,...

A review of existing drillhole information in the area between Lake Frome and the NSW border targeted sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels. No field work was undertaken during the two years tenure owing to access difficulties resulting from...

Exploration for sedimentary uranium consisted of research and compilation of previous drilling data, including lithological logs, gamma logs and redox interface distribution maps. Such information compiled from thirty historical drillholes located in...

Exploration for buried sedimentary uranium occurrences which might be amenable to extraction by in-situ leach mining was carried out on four contiguous ELs located immediately south and east of Lake Frome. Compilation of previous drilling data showed...
