In 1993 an exploration drilling program was undertaken jointly by The Department of Mines and Energy (MESA) and ETSA Corporation (ETSA) over areas considered prospective for coal within the vicinity of the existing infrastructure of the Leigh Creek...

As part of the South Australian Steel and Energy Project, MESA has targeted Palaeoproterozoic banded iron formation (BIF) rocks at Giffen Well prospect as a possible iron ore resource. Ground magnetic, gravity and drilling programmes have identified...

The results of a data review by MESA in 1992 to assess the prospectivity of the northern Flinders Ranges for concealed Triassic coal highlighted four main areas as having the best potential for a discovery. Following exploration for coal by MESA/ETSA...

This data package discusses mining and processing operations of the major non metallic and industrial mineral commodities in South Australia and is of interest to those in the industry and to manufacturers and suppliers of a range of machinery and...

This report summarises a program of sampling and analysis carried out by MESA in early 1994 on core samples from 7 holes by ETSA in 1988/89 through the Leigh Creek Lobe B Main Series overburden sequence. A total of 175 carbonaceous mudstone samples...

As part of the Government's South Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI), and in support of the South Australian Steel and Energy (SASE) Project, a small coal exploration program was initiated by MESA to investigate a number of subtle magnetic lows...

Geochemical indicators to buried stratabound copper mineralisation in the Cattlegrid orebody were studied in their primary and secondary dispersion patterns within the overburden, to try to elucidate the likely most effective elements and the possible...

A mine development and fuel technology applications study has been carried out on the Wintinna Coal Deposit to: 1. Determine the output tonnages of coal required for economic operation by opencut mining methods. 2. Compare the quality of Wintinna...
