The site of a proposed silo at Bute was investigated by drilling two cable tool holes 15 m and 9 m deep. The drilling encountered surficial soil and red/green mottled clay of the Hindmarsh Clay overlying inferred Cambrian Parara Limestone which has...

The distribution and relationships of Lower Cambrian units in the Flinders Ranges are illustrated by a panel diagram and sketch maps. A new rock name, Hawker Group, is introduced for six formations of Lower Cambrian age which represent a phase of...

Well survey, geological reconnaissance and groundwater sampling were undertaken to assess potential for water supply. Groundwater quality ranges from 1000 to 2000 mg/l. The occurrence of deep water tables, suggests that this area has the potential to...

The Cambrian succession in South Australia is richly fossiliferous, but relatively little studied biostratigraphically. The Cambrian Biostratigraphy Project aims to provide a biostratigraphic framework similar to that available for the Cretaceous and...

The Electricity Trust of South Australia requires a source of high grade limestone or dolomite to be used in the planned industrial firing process for brown coal from the Wakefield coal deposit. A SADME survey of available literature, supplemented by...

Around Pavy Creek, the Parara Limestone disconformably overlies the Kulpara Formation and comprises dark blue-grey argillaceous limestone, with buff dolomite and skeletal packstone. Phosphate, pyrite, glauconite, and some fluorite occur in the...

Nepabunnas water supply has a salinity of 1300 mg/L and a high carbonate hardness (550 mg/L) which causes severe scaling in pipes. Artificial recharge was suggested as a means of introducing low salinity and hardness floodwaters into the aquifer....

During the first year of its evaluation of the Beltana and Aroona mining properties on which it has taken out an option, Perilya undertook the following intensive work programme aimed at locating buried extensions and repetitions of the willemite...

Economic deposits of Mississippi Valley type stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation within in Cambrian limestones were the targets of exploration undertaken on and near the Wirrealpa Diapir. A preliminary field reconnaissance had shown that surface...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

Possible Cambrian carbonate-hosted Mississippi Valley style Pb-Zn deposits were the targets of exploration in the Chace and Druid Ranges, located north of Hawker, and also nearby at Mount Aleck. Following geological reconnaissance mapping at 1:20,000...

Possible economic stratabound or epigenetic lead-zinc or copper deposits, formed in altered carbonate rocks lying marginal to the Wirrealpa Diapir, were the targets of new exploration centred on the area of the old Wirrealpa lead-silver mine....

Anzoil NL carried out geological and geophysical studies on previous exploration data, but was unsuccessful in attracting farmin partners either locally or overseas. The licence area was reduced to ease the work commitment, by partial relinquishment...

TARGET: Downdip extensions of known Cambrian stratabound mineralisation occurring at the Eric lead-zinc prospect, principally along a mineralised, disconformable interpreted syn-depositional palaeosurface developed within the Wilkawillina Limestone....

Exploration for Mississippi Valley - type stratabound base metal deposits in the relinquished area covering the eastern flank of the Mernmerna Syncline, 10 km south-west of Wilpena Pound, has proved to be unsuccessful. At the Vanessa prospect, 28...

Continuing mineral exploration work over central Yorke Peninsula under a new joint venture arrangement with a different company, now targetting possible Phanerozoic sedimentary uranium in Cambrian and Tertiary strata, has consisted of investigations...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic, magnetic and gravity survey. A total of 102 miles of seismic data was recorded; predominantly single-fold reflection with some 3-fold stacking and...
