This borehole was drilled to a total depth of 321 ft. 4 ins., and a complete cored section was obtained of the lower part of the Middle Cambrian Ramsay Limestone and of the Lower Cambrian Red Bed Clastics, in which thin bands of gypsum had been...

Background Seawater is potentially a vast and readily accessible reserve of potassium for fertilizer production. Potassium is not at present recovered from seawater commercially, since potash can be produced easily and cheaply from the extensive...

South Australia has no current production of potassium minerals. Attention was given to occurrence of alunite during World War I when supplies of potash from Germany and France were cut off and almost 400 tonnes were marketed. The deposits are...

Possible Mesoproterozoic unconformity-related uranium deposits within the Cariewerloo Basin, involving an inferred structural preparation component whereby basic intrusive members of the Gairdner Dyke Swarm cut across this unconformity in a manner...

An area located 50 km north-northeast of Wudinna, and situated on the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges, has been explored for possible economic deposits of both Olympic Dam style epithermal copper-gold-uranium and Tanami style orogenic lode gold,...

A largely sand dune and salt lake - covered area of the north-central Stuart Shelf, centred about 65 km north-west of the Olympic Dam mine, is being explored for possible economic buried IOCGU mineralisation that may be hosted by Mesoproterozoic...

An almost wholly sand dune - covered area of the west-central Stuart Shelf, centred about 15 km north-northeast of Woomera township, is being explored for possible economic buried IOCGU mineralisation that may be hosted by Mesoproterozoic basement...

An area extending for 40 km to the west and south of Wudinna was taken up by Minotaur to evaluate the economic potential of known but poorly defined occurrences of the industrial minerals gypsum and alunite. The company's office-based compilation and...

Much of the eastern side of the very large, 5,745 square km saline playa Lake Torrens, which occupies one of the most arid parts of Australia, was taken under licence by a Northern Territory - based company with the intent of systematically sampling...

An area located south-west of Lake Frome, which it was thought might be tectonically analogous to the Torrens Hinge Zone, but developed on the opposite side of the Adelaide Geosyncline, has been explored for possible economic Mount Gunson or Olympic...

While South Australia is well known as having within its borders major iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Hillside, there has until now been a lack of publically accessible...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

An area prospective for major metalliferous mineralisation at depth was identified at the intersection of the G2 and G7 structural corridors, 8 km south-west of Rhynie. Its potential was enhanced by coincident gravity, magnetic, radiometric and...

The GCAS merged datasets are the result of re-gridding and merging the sixteen GCAS TMI, radiometric and DEM surveys' located data, using a single consistent gridding algorithm and spatial origins for each data type. The gridding method used for the...

Airborne magnetic / radiometric and EM surveys conducted west of Woomera did not reveal any promising diamondiferous kimberlite targets, and stream sediment and soil sampling carried out over a resultant uranium / potassium anomaly revealed no...
