About 1,500 samples were collected during a stream sediment sampling survey on the Riverton and Eudunda 1:63 360 geological sheets and analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, W, Mo, Nb, Co and Mn. Rolling means, residual values, correlation coefficients and mean...

Recent drilling information, aquifer testing, a review of data on existing town water supply wells and a survey of wells intersecting the confined Kongorong Sand aquifer in the vicinity of Kingston have been used to assess the state of Kingston's...

Exploration has not been exhaustive and potential exists for discovery of economic Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. Kanmantoo Trough contains a source of sulphur, metals, energy and structural elements for formation of Pb-Zn-Ag orebodies, as well as copper and...

This field excursion was designed by the SADME Regional Geology Branch to enable participants to view some of the significant outcrops that provide evidence of sedimentation, stratigraphy, structure, metamorphism, phases of intrusion by igneous rocks,...

Geological interpretation of image-processed aeromagnetic data, and evidence gained from recent stratigraphic traverse drilling to investigate the lithostratigraphic and tectonic nature of magnetic domains, plus the results of previous investigations,...

Eight new groundwater wells were drilled near Angaston as part of an investigation into the recharge mechanisms of the Barossa Valleys aquifer systems. It is currently believed that rainfall permeates the hard rock complexes of the hills around...

The Torrens Rural Catchment can be divided into three zones where groundwater extraction from fractured rock aquifers is significant - the Fourth and Sixth Creek catchments, and the Birdwood - Gumeracha area. The Fourth Creek Catchment, which is...

A partial leach soil geochemical survey has been conducted over shallowly buried Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough metasediments in the Monarto South area. The survey was designed to cover a aeromagnetic high anomaly, that is interpreted to be related to a...

The Tookayerta Catchment is an area which is increasingly coming under pressure from its landowners for the development of local groundwater resources to irrigate dairy pastures, berry plantations and vineyards. The catchment encompasses two...

The Duntroon Basin is located in the centre of the Southern Rift System between the Bight and the Otway Basins, west and SW of Kangaroo Island. It is limited to the north by the Proterozoic Gawler Craton. The formation of the basin is related to the...

A Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemical survey was conducted over known Pb-Zn-Ag-Au mineralisation within Cambrian Kanmantoo Group metasediments of the Tapanappa Formation at the Angas prospect near Strathalbyn, South Australia. A similar survey was...

During the period December 1989 to March 1990, exploratory drilling undertaken by SADME Mineral Resources Branch over the northern part of Kangaroo Island investigated the potential for base and precious metal mineralisation within rocks of the...

The Cygnet-Snelling Fault Zone on Kangaroo Island is a fundamental structure that both influenced sedimentation during the Cambrian, and refined the boundary between major tectonic provinces during the Delamerian Orogeny. It is coincident with the...

The SA excursion is designed to illustrate the stratigraphy, sedimentology and, to a lesser extent, because of time constraints, structure of the Kanmantoo Group. The Victorian excursion traverses the Glenelg and Stawell geological zones. The eastern...

The framework of Kangaroo Island was largely established during the Cambrian, when widespread marine sedimentation resulted in thick accumulations of shallow shelf to deep marine terrigenous sediments. Orogenesis has deformed the strata into an...

Crystalline basement of the Gawler Craton continues further southwards than previously interpreted, extending under northern Kangaroo Island. Depths to basement range from 200 metres near Emu Bay, and approximately 250-750 metres inland from Cape...

An integrated scientific research program addressing structural, sedimentological and metallogenic aspects of basin evolution has been conducted in the Kanmantoo Trough for the past three years. Joint collaboration in this program involved MESA, the...

Mount Barker Creek 1 was drilled by MESA Mineral Provinces Branch at a location 30 km southeast of Adelaide during May 1994 to test a model of stratiform lead-zinc mineralisation within the Kanmantoo Trough, and to confirm the composition and...
