An area located near the south-eastern margin of the Musgrave Province, in the eastern and northern Everard Ranges about 100 km west-northwest of Marla, wholly within the APY Lands, has been explored for possible economic nickel-copper-platinoid group...

After two years of negotiation with traditional owners and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Land Council, the Geological Survey Branch of PIRSA's Minerals, Petroleum and Energy Division (MPE) commenced stratigraphic drilling on the 15th May 2002, in the...

The Musgrave Province is largely incorporated within the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands and includes cratonic crystalline middle Proterozoic basement rocks of the Musgrave Province proper, as well as mantling younger sedimentary rock successions...

The 16th Australian Geological Convention (AGC) Musgrave Block Field Excursion, held during 6-16 July, came close to achieving unqualified success from the combined perspectives of technical geology, liaison between the traditional owners and the AGC...

Gem-quality varieties of beryl occur rarely in South Australia and exist in insufficient quantities to be of current economic interest. Non-gem grade beryl, by contrast, is a widespread accessory mineral in many pegmatites of South Australia, but, at...

The results of a 1982 State-wide hydrogeochemical survey showed the Musgrave Block to be anomalous and potentially mineralised. In 1997 a groundwater quality survey was undertaken for the remote communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands. Water...

The EATERINGINNA 1:100 000 scale sheet area is in central Australia with its northern boundary coincident with the South Australian and Northern Territories border. It is located at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges and therefore occupies a...

The Abminga bedrock drilling program was initiated in 1999 as part of the Targeted Exploration Initiative of South Australia (TEISA) strategy conceived by the SA Government and implemented through PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group. Drilling was proposed...

This report presents whole rock Sm-Nd and Hf in zircon results for 31 samples from the Tieyon 1:100 000 mapsheet area of the Musgrave Province, South Australia, acquired over the period 2007–2012 as part of the Musgrave Province mapping program. It is...

This report presents the results of geochronology from projects completed during 2011 and 2012, which addressed rock samples collected from a number of different geological provinces within South Australia. The Musgrave Province in northern South...

Alcurra is located near the eastern margin of the Proterozoic Musgrave Province. The region includes rocks from two distinct geological provinces, the eastern limit of exposure of the Musgrave Province, and the north-western margin of the Mesozoic...

Tieyon is located on the eastern margin of the Proterozoic Musgrave Province. The region includes rocks from two distinct geological provinces, the eastern limit of exposure of the Musgrave Province, and the north-western margin of the Mesozoic...

The Tieyon 1:100 000 mapsheet area is located on the South Australia – Northern Territory border in the central Far North of South Australia. It covers rock units of the Mesoproterozoic Musgrave Province, the Mesozoic Eromanga Basin and the Neogene...

Migmatites are complex, high-grade crystalline rocks that have formed by partial melting. They have been recognised within the crustal rock record across most of geological time, are seen to be developed in various tectonic settings, and can affect a...

Agnes Creek is located near the eastern outcrop margin of the Proterozoic Musgrave Province, which is composed predominantly of amphibolite to granulite facies meta-igneous and metasedimentary gneisses of the Birksgate Complex. Geochronological...
