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...

9 widely spaced vertical percussion holes totalling 1340 m were drilled 30 km south-west of Anna Creek Homestead, to search for possible Early Permian coal seams in a relatively shallowly buried sub-basin at the southern end of the Boorthanna Trough....

The finding of substantial Permian sub-bituminous coal deposits in the Phillipson Trough of the Arckaringa Basin prompted discoverer Utah Development Co. to apply for an additional exploration licence to cover the adjoining newly disclosed Wallira...

A three-month programme of coal exploration drilling in the west-central Arckaringa Basin, in the vicinity of a buried Permian coal occurrence recorded in 1969 in the SADM Karkaro 1 stratigraphic well, has resulted in the delineation of three deposits...

Fourteen rotary holes were drilled totalling 1362 metres. Coal was intersected as thin stringers in the Cretaceous Cadna-owie Formation in MU-3 and MU-13, and as a 1 metre thick seam in the Permian Mount Toondina Formation in MU-2, but is not...

Possible shallowly buried, surface-mineable coal formed within the Lower Permian Mount Toondina Formation, and similar to the coal occurring in the Phillipson Trough area, was the target of exploration carried out in the poorly defined Tallaringa...

TARGET: Lower Permian coal measures of the Mount Toondina Formation in the Evelyn Downs - Mount Barry area. EXPLORATION: Ten holes totalling 853.4 m. RESULTS: Most holes intersected thin coal seams at depths ranging from 73 m to 121 m.

Shallow, open pit mineable near-surface coal within Permian sediments along the eastern rim of the Boorthanna Trough was the target of exploration in EL 108 and in adjoining EL 104 to the south. After conducting photo-interpretation on aerial...

The Peake and Denison Inliers (comprising the Davenport Range, Denison Range and small basement inliers to the east) form the dominant geological structure on WARRINA. The Inliers include outcrops of Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic basement which is...
