Two Holocene lunette dunes lying near the Barrier Highway, 14 km east of Peterborough, were sampled by hand digging pits to depths of 0.5 and 0.6 m. The respective two sediment samples were composed predominantly of sand (79% and 63% SiO2), with their...

Reconnaissance mapping done in two portions of the subject licence located close to the township of Meningie, and 15 km to the south, excluded these two areas as potential sources of gypsum. A sample from the depth interval surface to 0.8 m in the...

Tapley Hill Formation - hosted, Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper was targeted in an exploration programme which consisted of ground magnetic surveying and stratigraphic percussion drilling and geophysical logging (10 holes for 2058 m total...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by PIRSA during July 2012 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Mount Painter region of SA on 28/3/1998. The nominal pixel size acquired was 4.5 m x 4.5 m, within a surveyed area of...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by Mega Hindmarsh during April-May 2008 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Uno Range - Lake Gilles North area of SA on 16/3/1998. The nominal pixel size acquired was 4.7 m x 4.7 m,...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by PIRSA during April 2011 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Peterlumbo district in the southern Gawler Ranges region of SA during March 2011. The nominal pixel size acquired was...

This publication highlights how the availability of minerals is crucial to providing the basic requisites of life, or else, to fundamentally contributing for the manufacture of vital requisites such as food, clothing, heat, light and shelter, in order...

Calcination tests on Kangaroo Island gypsum show that a plaster conforming to market specifications can be produced.

Ongoing evaluation and mining of Holocene gypsum deposits occurring adjacent to salt lakes in the Cummins district took place during the first half of the report period, with several campaigns of gypsum surface mining and power screening being...

Discusses the exploration potential of gypsum occurrences near Sceale Bay that were reported on by Lockhart Jack in 1921 and by others more recently. Following initial satellite imagery and photogeological studies, a brief field inspection of one...

The subject EL areas are located adjacent to the Woomera Defence Area reserve, 800 km north-west of Adelaide. Exploration targeted stratiform base metal mineralisation of the sedimentary - exhalative or sabkha type, based on the McArthur River model,...

Gypsum in economic quantities and grades has been discovered in two swamps located close to the Princes Highway near Ashville, about 135 km south-east by road from Adelaide. The two deposits, designated Warnes and Lihou, were discovered in 1991 by...

Rotary drilling of 23 open holes (total 4 817 m) in a search for Tertiary sedimentary uranium occurrences north-west of Lake Frome intersected an aureole of radioactivity greater than ten to fifteen times background level in eight of the holes.

In the search for possible economic sedimentary uranium lately centred on buried Tertiary palaeochannels in the vicinity of Munyallina Creek, where earlier good drilling indications of roll-front uranium mineralisation had been detected, licence...
