Brief description of the workings and historical outline from daily newspapers and Mining Reviews. Since discovery in 1899, 371.07 tonnes of ore have yielded 35 923.91 grams of gold bullion, ore being treated at Mount Torrens and Peterborough...

Stockpiles of tailings from abandoned gold mines are small and probably do not warrant retreatment individually. Total of 71 000 tonnes of tailings are at Government Battery sites at Mount Torrens, Peterborough, Glenloth, Tarcoola and Mongolata. The...

An intensive search for a large low grade silver lead zinc deposit was unsuccessful, although widespread low grade mineralization is present. Associated gold values over 26 metre interval at Eukaby Hill are too low grade to support large scale...

28 auger holes and 14 trenches delineated a minimum of 37 710 tonnes of 2.71 g/t gold at Alma and Victoria and a minimum of 1080 tonnes of 1.94 g/t gold at Alma Extended. Tailings also contain an average of 2 g/t silver. Cyanidation tests show that...

Basic information on history, production, mining, geology, mineral processing, and exploration at various mines and prospects. Main purpose is to demonstrate features of Adelaidean and other mineralization.

Semi quantitative spectroscopy on samples from the Mount Howden Mine gave anomalous results. The best recording was 35cm of greater than 1% Zn, greater than 1% Pb and 10ppm Ag. An interval (10m thick) of above background copper, silver, lead, Zinc,...

Volcanism associated with the Middle Proterozoic Gawler Range acid volcano-plutonic province was initiated in the Kokatha area by the construction on Archaean basement of a large stratovolcano composed mainly of tholeiitic basalt and potassic basaltic...

Old mines and prospects were located, sketch mapped and photographed. Ultra- violet lamp was used to search for scheelite in Mt McTaggart area and west of Mt Fitton. Scintillometer was used to search for radioactive minerals.

Gold mineralisation occurs near Orama Hill, situated north of Koonamore Station Homestead, and at Kirkeek?s Treasure gold mine on the Nillinghoo Goldfield. These two localities are about 25 km apart, and lie along the axis of the Orama Hill Anticline....

The mines and mineral deposits in the proposed park are summarized from departmental records with list of references and plans available on microfilm.

Exploration has not been exhaustive and potential exists for discovery of economic Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. Kanmantoo Trough contains a source of sulphur, metals, energy and structural elements for formation of Pb-Zn-Ag orebodies, as well as copper and...

Open file company data from 101 exploration licences dating from 1940 is reviewed. To 1989, 1189 rotary / percussion holes (85 000 metres) and 132 diamond drill holes (31 000 metres) were drilled in exploration for uranium, base metals and, to a...

A partial leach soil geochemical survey has been conducted over shallowly buried Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough metasediments in the Monarto South area. The survey was designed to cover a aeromagnetic high anomaly, that is interpreted to be related to a...

The metamorphic rocks to be examined on the field excursion have been assigned to the Tapanappa Formation (Early Cambrian Kanmantoo Group), a generally monotonous sequence of greywackes with narrow siltstone partings. This formation hosts most...

Company exploration within the CURNAMONA 1:250 000 sheet area was reviewed by the study of data incorporated in the open file reports on 42 Special Mining Leases, 80 Exploration Licences and one group of Mining Leases dating from 1961. This data...

Lower Proterozoic crystalline rocks of the Willyama Complex include phyllite, carbonaceous slate, mica-sillimanite schist and gneiss, feldspathic meta quartzite, quartzo feldspathic gneiss, calc-silicate rocks and iron formations. The oldest rocks in...

266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...
