Three bodies of basic rock believed to be equivalent to the Giles Complex were located near the southern margin of the Marryat Shear. I.P., V.L.F.E.M AND T.M.I were used to site a diamond drill hole, targeted at nickel mineralization. Only minor...

Acid gneiss underlying soil displaying anomalous copper values was investigated by geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, rotary and diamond drilling. Subeconomic sulphide mineralization, thought to have originated as a stratabound deposit, was...

South Australia has no known reserves of elemental sulphur. On the southern shore of Lake Eyre native sulphur occurs as nodules within crystalline gypsum resulting from micro-biological reduction of gypsum (Bonython and King, 1956; Baas-Becking and...

This investigation of the Brukunga mine site was prompted by the observed release of acid waters with high iron and other heavy metal concentrations into Dawesley Creek, the consequences of which could include possible pollution of Lake Alexandrina...

Work included a chemical survey of Dawesley Creek, analysis of soil samples from the Langhorne Creek area for evidence of concentrations of heavy metals, a lime neutralisation test, examination of soil characteristics for revegetation of the mine...

A soil geochemical anomaly was investigated by geological mapping, induced polarization, geochemical sampling and diamond drilling. Finely disseminated sulphide, mainly pyrite, was located in basic granulite, but in subeconomic quantities.

Over the last few years, a problem has existed along Dawesley Creek due to the release of acid waters with a high concentration of iron and appreciable contents of other heavy metals from the mine area of Nairne Pyrites Limited at Brukunga. This...

Exploration of a small area at the historic Hillside mine copper-uranium prospect near Ardrossan on Yorke Peninsula, which is presently covered by Mineral Claim 1115 held by Pegmin Ltd, has been undertaken during late 1979 and early 1980 by option...

Brownfields copper exploration undertaken by WMC in the Phillips Ridge area, located about 24 km east-southeast of the Olympic Dam discovery, initially consisted of the acquisition of gravity and ground magnetic traverses across a regional gravity...

When exploring for nickel sulphide mineralisation within buried ultramafic rocks of the Archaean Lake Harris Greenstone Belt, over TEMPEST aerial EM anomalies lying ~16 km north-west of Yerda Outstation, Mithril Resources carried out a ground EM...

The greenfields Ridgeback prospect, located about 5 km east-southeast of Bute on the northern Yorke Peninsula, is being explored by EL 4278 sole licensee Investigator Resources for possible Hillside deposit look-alike, Proterozoic basement-hosted...

To support the production of soda ash at its Osborne plant in Adelaide, South Australia, ICI Australia has been obtaining crushed marble from the Barossa Valley region as process raw material. Since June 1945, the South Australian Department of Mines...

Ideal location - 26 miles from Adelaide - good climate. 3½ miles from Nairne on Adelaide-Melbourne railway line. Electric supply to Nairne-Power requirements could probably be obtained from supply company. Small flow permanent water beside deposit,...

Plans are now completed for the mining of pyrites from extensive deposits at Nairne, a distance of 25 miles from Adelaide. The pyrites will be concentrated by flotation methods, then railed to Adelaide for use in a sulphuric acid plant. The pyrites is...

Disseminated particles of iron oxides present within samples of clay submitted for beneficiation studies were unable to be effectively separated using magnetic means. As the iron oxide particles appear to range in size down to micron scale, mechanical...
