Airborne and ground magnetic surveys were conducted in the Bundulla area of the Nullarbor Plain (SA), prior to drilling a prominent circular aeromagnetic feature. 2 percussion/rotary mud holes, each drilled to TD 369.5 m, penetrated crystalline...

Roxby Downs - type base metal deposits, potentially associated with linear and discrete magnetic anomalies of unknown origin in the basement, were the prime targets of exploration in an area extending between Koonalda and Hughes, adjacent to the SA/WA...

In a search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, 42 rotary mud drillholes totalling 1432.4 m were put down on 5 traverses...

Continuing exploration for possible buried economic Tertiary sediment-hosted uranium deposits in the vicinity of Ifould Lake consisted of ground truthing of aerial radiometric anomalies by scintillometer surveys and chemical analysis of auger...

Following an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, two rotary percussion holes totalling 819 m were drilled on negative magnetic anomalies to reach pre-Mesozoic basement (gabbro and meta-sandstone) in the Koonalda area of the Nullarbor Plain. No...

The Eucla Basin (or Nullarbor Plains Basin) is the name that has been given to that sedimentary basin which corresponds to much the same area as the geographical region, the Nullarbor Plains of Australia. Since one of the major rock-types of the basin...

Material collected during a reconnaissance survey of the coastal portion of the Eucla Basin by Frome Broken Hill Company Limited belonged to 6 distinct formations: surface kunkar; Pleistocene to Recent acolianites; Pleistocene marine sandy limestones;...

Eight bores drilled in the Eucla Basin for the Melton Pastoral Company have been examined. The most easterly bore, number 34, intersected the most complete marine sequence encountered in the area, passing through Miocene (Nullarbor Limestone) and...

A reconnaissance seismic refraction survey was carried out in the South Australian portion of the Eucla Basin, to determine the general shape of the basin and to assess the feasibility of using seismic methods in the area. Some of the refractors...

Samples collected by J. O. Galloway, consultant for Oil Drilling and Exploration consist of Pleistocene fossiliferous sandy limestone and weathered mollusca from the Eyre Plain, Wilson Bluff Limestone from Wilson Bluff and Nullarbor Limestone from the...

Ooldea 3 diamond drillhole is located on the western margin of the Gawler Craton where thin Tertiary (ca. 16 metres) and Palaeozoic (ca. 75 metres) sediments, of the Eucla and Officer Basins respectively, overlie Archaean to Early Proterozoic basement...

Three stratigraphic wells (Ooldea no. 1, Reid no. 1, and Reid no. 1A) were drilled by the South Australian Department of Mines during 1976 in an area that includes margins of the Officer, Arckaringa and Eucla basins. Principal objectives were to test...

The large, extinct, benthonic foraminifera Lepidocyclina, which has "tropical" affinities, has been found at two localities in the Nullarbor Limestone that outcrops on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin. The species is apparently the usual,...

Observations of karst events at Old Homestead Cave on the Nullarbor Plain add further evidence for a regional, post-emergence Nullarbor karst history or succession of events. Litho-stratigraphy and facies have exerted a control on dissolution and...

A Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) survey was used to prospect for groundwater at three locations on the road between Yalata and Ooldea, on the thesis that water would be available in either deeper overburden or fractured basement. Overburden targets...

A TEM survey that was carried out across the area between an extensive linear topographic depression in the western Nullarbor Plain and the Trans Australian Railway line corridor has identified the expected 50 metre thick resistive layer (Nullarbor...

Four horizons were mapped (top of basement, top of Permian, top of Cretaceous and Sea Floor). The Denman Basin is a 50 km wide, north-south trending depression in Early Palaeozoic - Precambrian bedrock, infilled with up to 400 metres of Permian...

A replacement well for Tallowan 1 was drilled 100 metres east of Tallowan 2 to a depth of 72 metres. Production tests showed that the well was capable of producing 3.5 L/s with 6.4 metres of drawdown. Groundwater with a salinity of about 10 000 mg/L...

The Nundroo basement drilling project was proposed in February 1987 by SADME's Regional Geology Branch as the first phase of investigation of the little known rocks of the south-western Gawler Craton. Previous drilling in this area had been restricted...
