The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Reconnaissance investigations of outcropping rocks of the western and central Mulgathing Complex reveal a series of pelitic and psammitic sedimentary rocks, interleaved with generally mafic to intermediate composition meta-igneous lithologies. The...

The prevailing model of the crustal-scale architecture of the Musgrave Province (Lambeck and Burgess, 1992) proposes a Moho depth offset of 20-25 km beneath the Musgrave Province to explain early teleseismic arrivals and a regional gravity high. This...

Seven samples of Proterozoic basement rocks, representing syn and post-tectonic leucocratic melts that formed during the Kimban Orogeny within the Donington Suite and within cross-cutting Tournefort Metadolerite mafic dykes on the southernmost Eyre...

The Boomerang gold prospect is located 650 km north-west of Adelaide in undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks incorporated within Archaean Harris Greenstone Belt mafic lithologies of the Gawler Craton. The prospect was originally discovered using...

Palynological analyses of samples from Meadows Bore 1 indicate the presence of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus Zone. At the base of the Tertiary interval examined it appears that a wet rainforest...

High precision geochronological analyses of metamorphic and inherited magmatic zircon grains, which were obtained from stored percussion drillhole samples of a garnet gneiss that occurs within the Commonwealth Hill magnetic anomaly, north-western...

This report presents the results of exploration on the Director of Mines E.L.A. 383 at Sleaford Bay during November, 2006. A number of samples of Carnot Gneiss, Hutchison Group and Donington Suite granitoids were collected from coastal exposures at...

Detailed petrological descriptions of 16 surface and near surface samples of intrusive ?igneous rocks obtained from nine localities spread around Terowie, Eurelia and Bangor have shown that they are intensely altered and weathered, making confirmation...

Gem-quality varieties of beryl occur rarely in South Australia and exist in insufficient quantities to be of current economic interest. Non-gem grade beryl, by contrast, is a widespread accessory mineral in many pegmatites of South Australia, but, at...

This field guidebook provides brief geological summaries to sites in South Australia that were visited during the 2006 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative pre-conference excursion. Figures show the location of the field area and approximate location of...

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a proposed radiotelescope receiver network that, when constructed, will have an effective collection area of one square kilometre, making it up to 100 times more sensitive than any present-day instrument on Earth....

In his two month - long technical secondment from PIRSA to Canadian major nickel explorer and producer Inco Ltd, the mode of genesis of the Reid Brook Zone of the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper mineralised magmatic system was analysed by the author using...

This report contains summaries of categorised relevant GIS data types, i.e. in the geology, regolith, geochemistry, geophysics, spectral, topographic, land tenure and cultural categories, for all datasets which have been located to date. It includes...

Includes abstracts with the following titles: 1) How magnetotellurics (MT) works, and an overview of new central Australian MT results (Kate Selway) 2) Latest MT traverse results: western Gawler Craton (Stephan Thiel) 3) A constrained 3D...

This report book contains zircon - derived U-Pb geochronological data, which was obtained between January 2005 and April 2006, for basement rock samples taken from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The data has been generated as part of the...

This field guide presents an introduction to the geology and tectonics of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, particularly as observed at the Corny Point locality. Topics covered include the detrital zircon age distributions within the Corny Point...

ELA 2002/00154 is made up of three geographically separate sub-areas aligned in a north-easterly direction along the Bulgunnia Shear Zone. Neither the northern nor the central sub-areas have any basement rock outcrop, with the depth of younger cover...
