In the first years of settlement Adelaide's water supply was obtained directly from the River Torrens, or from shallow wells along its banks. This water became brackish in summer and caused serious health problems due to pollution. In any case the...

Quartzites and sandstones in the Stonyfell Quartzite formation of the Adelaide System are quarried by the Readymix Group (S.A.) at Riverview quarry, 14 km north-east of Adelaide. Inferred geological reserves above the level of the nearby River Torrens...

A water balance study of the Piccadilly Valley has indicated that almost 20% of annual rainfall, amounting to 2000 ML, recharges the fractured rock aquifers. The current usage of about 1200 ML represents just under 60% of this annual recharge. Total...

A fundamental question remains to be answered in the Clare Valley. How much water can be safely extracted without causing depletion of the groundwater resources? This question is being addressed by a major investigation into the groundwater...

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...

The Brownhill Creek Catchment can be divided into two main zones - the Hills Zone (rural catchment) and the Plains Zone (urban catchment). The Hills Zone is underlain by fractured rock aquifers which contain good quality groundwater (salinities...

This report summarises the main consumers, reserves, production and probable life of current mines and identifies potential alternative sources. Shale reserves in the currently worked pits are sufficient for 50 years, white plastic clay at Golden...

The mine was worked between 1935 and 1939. and recorded production totals 296.16 tonnes for 5007.4 grams of gold bullion. Gold occurs in gently west dipping Tertiary gravels overlying steeply east dipping Adelaidean Aldgate Sandstone. An indicated...

Clay resources in the Roseworthy - Sheaoak Log - Freeling area, 50km northeast of Adelaide, were investigated as a potential source of raw material for brick manufacture. Twenty three auger holes totalling 242 metres outlined areas of weathered...

Dataset contains Amdel - derived mineralogical and petrological data on the ore and host rocks, plus the mine operator's reports on its plans to resume and optimize production of the unique ore types known to exist in four current mine pits and their...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

A government investigation of the economic potential of the abandoned historic Burra Burra copper mine was started in December 1961. The SA Department of Mines (SADM) initial work comprised 1:1200 scale geological mapping of the old mine area,...

Includes an outline of the Adelaidean stratigraphy, and the underlying igneous and metamorphic rock types, and brief, mainly historical review of the economic geology.
