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...

Quartzite and sandstone of the Stonyfell Quartzite formation of the Burra Group are quarried by Quarry Industries Ltd at Eagle Quarry, located in the Adelaide Hills less than 10 km from the Adelaide GPO. The deposit is fault bounded to the west and...

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...

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...

Geochemical orientation sampling was conducted over old surface workings at the historic Almanda mine to ascertain the most suitable pathfinder element for defining any remaining mineralisation. One diamond drillhole (having 65 degrees inclination on...

Arkosic quartzites of Pre Cambrian age contained in the Torrensian, Sturtian and Marinoan series occur in the Adelaide Hills. The largest deposits are in the Torrension series, in which several alternative quarry sites have been located. Adequate...

Investigations into the future development of the Stonyfell and Greenhill quarries have involved detailed geological mapping and the study of future market trends. Geological factors have been shown to affect the quality of stone present within the...

With a view to conserving supplies of stone and developing them in the best interests of the State, a review has been made of the resources in the Adelaide metropolitan area. In this report recommendations are made for the introduction of legislation...

The purpose of the project is to provide essential data on the hardrock extractive (construction material) resources supplying the Adelaide metropolitan area, in order to be able to: - Critically examine current hardrock supplies and resources and how...

Approximately 1000 geochemical drainage samples have been collected in two areas within the Stirling - Clarendon project area. Twelve square miles have been sampled in the Lenswood area at an average density of 27 samples to the square mile, and 26...

Diamond drilling at the Almanda Mine was continued with the completion of holes DAL 3 and 4, to depths of 187.45 and 104.37m. Both holes passed through the main east-west shear zone in siltstone/shale, but did not encounter the Stonyfell Quartzite. No...

The Kangarilla lead mine, situated on section 796, Hundred of Kuitpo, is enclosed by the Stonyfell Quartzite (Proterozoic Age). Lead mineralisation occurs in a narrow near vertical joint or fault of average width 2 inches and strike length over 200...
