Three potential damsites on the lower Murray River near Mannum were investigated by drilling and geological mapping. Two holes at Site 4 and one at Site 5 showed Tertiary sediments overlying granite bedrock at depth exceeding 24m. Exploration was...

Two diamond drillholes were completed over the period January to July 1963 in the initial stages of investigation of the Dawesley aeromagnetic anomaly, aiming mainly to test two IP anomalies 1 mile apart that had been detected on SADM grid line 1000...

The Cambrian sediments in the vicinity of the Mount Barker Creek and about the Callington-Kanmantoo mines have been studied. Evidence is produced to show there is rapid thickening of members above the Inman Hill Formation north of Mount Barker Creek....

Two percussion holes were drilled at Monarto South to test foundation conditions at a proposed silo site. The site is underlain by Holocene to Tertiary sediments 12m thick over schist of the Kanmantoo Group.

A third diamond drill hole was completed to a depth of 175m at the Dawesley anomaly. It intersected micaceous siltstones, greywacke and schists of the Kanmantoo Group. No significant mineralisation was encountered.

An investigation has been carried out for the E&WS Department at an alternative site for a 250,000 gallon elevated tank. The examination was requested by application on 12th February 1965 in a letter to the Director of Mines. The new site is in...

Salt Creek traverses Kanmantoo Group greywackes and arkoses striking north and south and dipping 25° east. Patches of Permian sands and clays occur in irregular Permian valleys. At the proposed dam site and to the west the rocks are heavily jointed...

The problem of the southern continuation of the Upper Proterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline is discussed. A transverse Cambrian trough and the related unconformity with the Precambrian is described, and its palaeogeographic significance outlined.

A road metal quarry in buff quartzites and micaceous sandstones occurs half a mile east of the township of Nairne. The sediments exposed are basal members of the Kanmantoo Group. The beds strike south-south-east dipping 60 to the east. More than...

Greywackes and phyllitic slates of the Kanmantoo Series intruded by quartz veins carrying gold and in part lateralised occur in the area mapped. Gold values are too low to warrant further development and it is recommended that permission be granted to...

There are several granitic stocks along the southern coast of Fleurieu Peninsula, which are emplaced in the folded sediments of the Kanmantoo Group. These stocks are traversed by joints and dykes filled with aplites, pegmatites and quartz which...

Well cemented slightly wrathered metasandstone (Kanmantoo Group) occurs at the site of the proposed harbour. Fracture spacings are such that when blasted the rock would form blocks of a suitable size for a breakwater. The rock is considered to be...

21 specimens of volcanics and felsic gneisses are heterogeneous in both original lithology and the extent of metamorphic and metasomatic alteration. Strong granitic metasomatism may indicate concealed granitoid plutons. Continuation of andesitic...

The CHOWILLA 1:250 000 map area lies in the north-western part of the Murray Basin, between latitudes 33° and 34°S and longitudes 139°30' and 141°E. Its eastern boundary is the South Australian - New South Wales state border. The area includes...

37 000 tonnes of gold-copper ore have been produced from the Kitticoola Mine in five phases of mining during its 150 year history. 30 000 tonnes were mined as gold ore, yielding 162 560 grams of gold at an average grade of 5.4 grams/tonne. 7 000...

Report gives a detailed justification for the author's recently made proposal to erect three members of a new "supergroup" classification level within the published stratigraphy for the Adelaide Geosyncline, an idea which is based purely on observed...

In the construction of marina, the results suggest that, apart from small areas, blasting should not be required if the material to be excavated is similar to that removed for the deepening of the cove at Cape Jervis.
