TARGET: Diamonds in the Cradock - Carrieton region. EXPLORATION: Regional and follow-up stream sediment and gridded loam sampling, heavy mineral processing and SEM microscopy of bulk samples, grid-based ground magnetic surveys, and part of a regional...

All previous data and all the known major deposits within the Clinton Coal Measures are reviewed. The study covers their formation, structure, stratigraphy and various engineering geology aspects associated with the possibility of mining any one of...

This report has been compiled at the request of the Redcliff Steering Committee to assist in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. It relies almost entirely on work carried out by Departmental officers and private consultants during...

A geological examination of the site for a surface concrete tank of 2,000,000 gallon capacity was requested in a letter dated 23rd September, 1968 from the Assistant Director, Engineering Operations. The site was initially investigated, by 2 test pits...

The Arrowie Area is situated in the Central Flinders Ranges and constitutes the southeastern corner of COPLEY (i.e. 1:250 000 sheet). Approximately 50% of the area is mantled by Cainozoic sediments distributed in part of the western edge of the Frome...

The Streaky Bay and Nuyts 1:250 000 map areas are located on the western side of Eyre Peninsula. Precambrian greenschist and amphibolite facies metamorphics of the Gawler Platform are intruded by Lower Proterozoic or Carpentarian granites, gneisses...

Flat-lying Tertiary sandstones crop out in the Southwestern corner of the Oakvale 1 mile sheet, the remaining area being almost entirely Pleistocene. Definition of Quaternary units is difficult due to lack of outcrop, and possible variations in...

The Dublin 1:63 360 map area is located on the ADELAIDE 1:250 000 map area, and is centred about 40 miles north-west of Adelaide. Within this area, possible Adelaide System rocks are unconformably overlain by Tertiary marine limestones, sands, silts...

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...

Reconnaissance auger drilling for construction sand to supply the proposed new city of Monarto was carried out in the Tepko-Mannum and Hartley-Monarto South areas in 1974 The programme consisted of 79 holes 0.6m to15m deep for a total of 451m. Grain...

Engineering investigations at the Monarto City Centre consisted of 8 diamond drill holes up to 15m deep, 25 backhoe test pits, detailed mapping and seismic refraction surveys. The area consists of Kanmantoo Group meta-sediments, in part overlain by a...

Seven cable tool holes have been drilled to investigate foundation conditions for new silos at the Port Pirie Grain Terminal. The drilling penetrated a succession of unconsolidated sediments which showed some lateral variation. From 0 to 12 metres...

This report summarises the known hydrogeology along the Bremer River in the vicinity of Callington where it has been suggested that an irrigation area be established to use sewage effluent - derived from a treatment works adjacent to Monarto....
