This geochemical data package contains results lately obtained by DMITRE Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) from the re-analysis of 24,266 calcrete samples originally collected by mineral exploration industry participants, that were...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Preparation of lightweight aggregate from a sample of Tapleys Hill shale, as successfully achieved by 'bloating' (the expansion of a viscous melt of crushed rock particles by trapped gas released during fusion in a rotary kiln), is described. Six...

Background: Leaching of copper has been improved in many instances by the inclusion of bacteria in the leaching solution. If such a system could be applied to extracting copper from the many mine dumps of low grade ore that exist in South Australia,...

In April 1963, the South Australian Government's Department of Mines requested that an investigation be done into the feasibility and economics of beneficiating low-grade kyanite ore obtainable from the Olary Province. It was envisaged that the...

Calcination tests on Kangaroo Island gypsum show that a plaster conforming to market specifications can be produced.

The chequered but astonishing progress of a succession of historic South Australian mining and mineral processing enterprises that were centred at Burra is described via excerpts gleaned from various contemporary written accounts, that in keeping with...

Exploration for possible kimberlite pipes in the Mount Arthur - Mount Toodla area, 30 km east-southeast of Oodnadatta, has included preliminary gravity and ground magnetic surveys, stream sediment sampling, and the drilling of a single diamond cored...

A search has been performed for possible commercial grade diatomaceous silica - rich sediments within an area straddling the Greanium - Lameroo - Pinnaroo Road and extending westwards from the SA/Vic. state border for ~90 km. The target locations were...

In May 2009 a total of 45 aircore blade or hammer holes (total penetration 1332 m) were drilled by Adelaide Resources along six northeast-southwest trending traverses laid out immediately south-west of Cleve, to test a conceptual unconformity - style...

Iron ore mineralisation similar to that mined in the Middleback Range has been investigated at the Hercules prospect, located 90 km west-northwest of Whyalla, where a large, high intensity aeromagnetic anomaly and associated 12 km long outcrop of...

Exploration for base metals associated with iron formations, and also for deposits of graphite or uranium, over the southern part of Eyre Peninsula west and north-west of Port Lincoln, included compilation of a Tertiary isopach and basement geology...

The 2000 Mt Wintinna coal deposit is located approximately 700 km north-northwest of Port Augusta in South Australia. The area has opencut potential, and is proposed for development to supply a thermal power station. Meekatharra Minerals Ltd holds...

In an area located immediately south of Kimba, continued exploration of strongly kaolinised metasediments and igneous rocks for deposits of kaolin that could possibly be suitable as paper fillers and coaters has comprised drilling, costeaning,...

The enclosed reports describe geological, hydrological, geotechnical, market research, and plant design and trial construction work that has been carried out with a view to determining the feasibility of an integrated groundwater and seawater salt...

This report describes the findings of a programme of shallow wagon drilling (189 holes, total 6095 feet) into concealed bedrock beneath the alluvial plain separating the Crocker Well Original and East uranium ore occurrences, seeking evidence of a...
