Bedded deposits of magnesite known to exist within the southern Flinders Ranges, where they outcrop over a considerable strike distance extent in the country approximately 20 km east of Port Pirie, were identified by Magnesium Developments Limited...

Magnesite beds formed within the Late Proterozoic Skillogalee Dolomite were the targets of exploration in the southern Flinders Ranges, 15 km east of Port Pirie. Field mapping and sampling, together with the acquisition and image processing of an...

Outcrop and drill core samples of magnesite-rich strata obtained from the Myrtle Springs and Witchelina deposits were examined petrographically to characterise the mode of occurrence and sedimentary history of the contained magnesitic material. A...

Known magnesite beds existing within the Adelaidean Skillogalee Dolomite in the far north-western Flinders Ranges, and extending into the Willouran Ranges over a strike distance of 120 km heading north-westwards from Leigh Creek South township, have...

Talc occurs in the Mount Fitton area in a massive recrystallized dolomite of Proterozoic age. The larger talc deposits are concentrated on its margins. This massive dolomite cuts through bedding and formation boundaries, and available evidence...

Talc has been mined at Mount Fitton in the northern Flinders Ranges on a continuous basis since 1945, for industrial use in the manufacture of cosmetics, ceramics and refractory ware. From 1979 to 1996, under authority of a series of Exploration...

Known magnesite beds within the Adelaidean Skillogalee Dolomite were the targets of exploration in the southern Flinders Ranges, 20 km north-east of Port Pirie, to determine their viability for mining as potential feedstock for a planned magnesium...
