During 1970/71, two large explosions set off at the Ord River Dam building site in Western Australia were recorded on 2000 km long land-based shot recording lines by the BMR and a number of university seismic research groups, and the results were used...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

Two additional phases of the drilling program to assess the groundwater resources in the Clare Valley were undertaken during March 1998 at Wendouree (Phase III), and during July 2000 at Wendouree and Watervale Oval (Phase IV). The Phase III program...

A computerised lineament analysis of Landsat digital image data covering the northern portion of the Flinders Ranges has shown a strong correlation between the known mineralisation and fracture structuring peripheral to granites, suggesting that...

The proposal for development of sand and clay pit for solid waste disposal is environmentally sound. The study included geotechnical investigation and concluded that management of a Council commercial and industrial waste disposal facility would be...

Copper and gold exploration comprising outcrop, stream sediment and soil geochemical sampling, and the conduct of ground magnetic and IP surveys, plus RC percussion (67 vertical holes, total 6624 m) and diamond cored tail drilling (in 2 holes, total...
