The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...

Marla 1A and 1B reached 215.30 metres and 379.40 metres respectively, penetrating aeolian sands overlying the Bulldog Shale, Cadna-owie Formation an d Observatory Hill Beds. In contrast to Byilkaoora 1, oil shows and calcite pseudomorphs after...

Coonawarra is important viticultural area. Its establishment was possible because of low salinity groundwater and suitable soil. Since 1970 groundwater levels have shown no significant decline due to irrigation and no increase in salinity. A pollution...

The Murray Bridge Abattoir is located 1.2km from the River Murray proper on the western edge of Mobilong Swamp. The Abattoir disposes of 0.7 to 0.8 Ml of effluent on each week day and until recently, all effluent was poured down four drainage wells....

A recent scout well drilled into the confined Dilwyn Formation (formerly Knight Group) at Mundulla intersected only low permeability sediments unsuitable for development. However, this does not rule out the possibility that a suitable aquifer will be...

Murray Bridge Abattoir's effluent is being disposed through drainage wells into unconfined aquifers which are hydraulically connected to the Murray River. Six rotary wells encircling the abattoirs area, proved the regional hydraulic gradient to be...

Plant macrofossils from silicified Cainozoic fluvial sediments on CURDIMURKA occur in 2 discrete suites. One suite has been found only in outcrops of silicified Eyre Formation in the Poole Creek Palaeochannel. This suite and the macroflora of the...

After the Southern Gold joint venture agreement was signed in February 2006, that company as JV operator performed a due diligence review of Dominion Mining's exploration data, did some orientation soil calcrete and biogeochemical sampling at Typhoon...

An area centred ~ 80 km north of Tarcoola was taken under licence to explore for possible economic buried precious and base metallic mineralisation hosted by Archaean and Proterozoic basement rocks. The area was selected on the basis of it having...

A small licence area located ~30 km north of Cockburn has been being explored for possible economic shallowly buried sedimentary roll front style uranium mineralisation that may have formed within inferred Tertiary fluvial channel sands of the...

Initial exploration for stratiform Cu-Au mineralisation hosted within Adelaidean sediments in the Morialpa area, 40 km north- west of Olary, comprised soil, stream sediment, rock chip and ironstone lag geochemical sampling, and 1:10,000 scale...

A chemical survey of Dawesley Creek in the Brukunga Mine area has concluded that seepages from the southern mine waste dumps located alongside the creek contribute the greater proportion of pollutants (acidity, iron, aluminium, manganese, zinc,...

An area extending for ~10 to ~60 km westwards from Kingoonya, comprising three separate sub-blocks, is being explored for buried Archaean greenstone belt - hosted primary metallic mineralisation. Work undertaken during the first year of tenure...
