EL 417 Wirrabara was secured by CRA to investigate previously untested aeromagnetic, induced polarisation and resistivity anomalies in the Wirrabara - Charlton area, and a reported kimberlite at Bangor. Work has consisted of: - 3 line km of IP...

In a search for possible buried stratiform base metal deposits of Mount Gunson type in an area surrounding Mount Eba Homestead, Carpentaria undertook a field reconnaissance of surface geological structures, followed by a study of aerial photographs...

Includes source rock studies of source material richness and quality, sediment maturation versus depth and petroleum generative potential, based on analysis of 84 cuttings samples and 1 core chip, plus the results of a study of formation sensitivities...

A lithofacies study of the Upper Permian Toolachee Formation has been conducted in the Gidgealpa-Moomba-Big Lake area to determine the suitability of the technique in the reconstruction of depositional environments and palaeogeographic trends...

This borehole was drilled to a total depth of 321 ft. 4 ins., and a complete cored section was obtained of the lower part of the Middle Cambrian Ramsay Limestone and of the Lower Cambrian Red Bed Clastics, in which thin bands of gypsum had been...

To assist the State Planning Office "examine and assess the future development of a defined area in the Mid-North of the State in anticipation of the area being declared a planning area under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act,...

Quartzite, sandstone and laminated siltstone of Marinoan and Lower Cambrian age underlie the site of a proposed road cutting. The suitability of these rocks as materials for road construction and geological factors likely to influence the better slope...

61 samples were tested. Relationships between Al2O3 SiO2, and gas / fluxing oxides were studied. Pilot production of bloated aggregate for 7 materials was carried out using a rotary calciner. Some clays and shales, some already commercially available,...

City Bricks Ltd. is quarrying clay shale for brickmaking at Glen Osmond. At present the shale is being won from a lower unit of a three unit sequence of two shales separated by quartzite. Geological mapping and a knowledge of topography enable an...

Two major sedimentary sequences are represented in the core of Bute DDH2. The younger sequence consists of crystalline dolomite with relict oolites and stromatolites in places and with basal sandstones, grits and conglomerate. The sandstones contain...

History The results of previous work carried out on the Tapley Hill Formation shale showed that, while a light weight aggregate could be produced from it, the narrow bloating range made processing difficult, owing to agglomeration of the material in...

Reconnaissance sampling of shale and clay beds throughout central and southern Yorke Peninsula has indicated that Permian tillite beds, or Cambrian shale beds near Ardrossan may prove satisfactory for use as the argillaceous component in cement...
