A detailed account of the large scale copper mining and processing operations occurring in the 'Copper Triangle' region of South Australia in the few years following the end of the First World War. The included metrics and pictorial coverage of many...

Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...

Detailed base and precious metals exploration undertaken by Utah Development Company in the area of the Worumba Anticline has targeted possible stratiform Zambian Copperbelt - type deposits. Exploratory work has included 72 geochemical vertical...

Base metal exploration of two lead-zinc mineralized areas previously discovered by Billiton and WMC within Hutchison Group metasediments near Mt Allalone, northwest of Buckleboo on central Eyre Peninsula, comprised ground magnetic and EM surveys, RAB...

Several specimens containing galena, anglesite and cerussite have been submitted from the above locality by Mr. H. J. Button of Myponga. The deposit has since been inspected and sampled

A zinc sulphide lode with a quartz/calcite gangue 6 to 9 feet true thickness was penetrated by two drill holes in the left abutment of the proposed flood central dam on the upper site in the Sturt River. The lode is in a brecciated tillite believed to...

Lead and copper mineralisation occurs in rocks of Cambrian age in the Ediacara Mineral Field. Rich pockets of ore minerals of limited extent occur in the Transition beds and in the overlying carbonates, associated with breccias or turbidites....

This paper deals briefly with the geology and mineralisation of the Ediacara Mineral Field, which is located about 300 miles north of Adelaide in the Mount James Range. The field was discovered some time prior to 1872. Total recorded production for...

The Nairne Pyrite Deposit occurs at Drukunga, three and a half miles east of Nairne, and 29 miles from Adelaide on the eastern flank of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The deposit is being worked for iron sulphides. Operations commenced in 1955 as a joint...

The Cambrian sediments in the vicinity of the Mount Barker Creek and about the Callington-Kanmantoo mines have been studied. Evidence is produced to show there is rapid thickening of members above the Inman Hill Formation north of Mount Barker Creek....

Two separate parcels of ore were submitted by the Department of Mines for beneficiation tests. The samples were taken from a shaft at the Ediacara silver-lead deposit. This deposit is being examined by the Department of Mines.

An inspection of Mineral Claim 2274 was made on August 7th in company with the claimholders. The copper prospect is situated in the extreme south-eastern corner of section 2, Hd. Campoona, eleven miles by road northwest of Cleve Township. The...

9.1 million tonnes of crude ore and 2.5 million tonnes of dressed ore, averaging 3.39 and 3.61% copper respectively, were produced from 1890 to 1923. Output totalled 336 000 tonnes of copper and 1682 kg of fine gold. Some of the gold was purchased...

Mines are significant as Wheal Gawler was the first metalliferous mine in Australia, discovered 1840, produced the first mineral exports, and includes the oldest remaining mine chimney in South Australia.

In a regional soil sampling survey over Willyama Complex rocks on parts of the Outalpa 1:50 000 Sheet, 2443 samples were collected at 25 metres intervals on 54 lines roughly 1km apart. These samples were analysed for CU, PB, Zn, Au, Mn, Mo, Co, Ni, V,...
