After a regional review of the absorbent clay mineral potential of known palygorskite and attapulgite - bearing Middle Tertiary palaeochannel sediments in an area centred 110 km south-west of Coober Pedy, a possibly economic partly-exposed attapulgite...

A large tonnage (~10-50 Mt), easily mined deposit of white kaolin found by the landowner on a property at Mount Sturt has been partly evaluated by auger drilling 44 shallow holes totalling 707 feet, to obtain samples for materials testing and to...

57 selected drill core plug samples from the Permian Tirrawarra Sandstone in 6 wells on the Tirrawarra Field were examined petrographically using thin section, XRD and SEM techniques. The contract brief was to try to establish reasons for observed...

'Industrial minerals' are those minerals or assemblages of minerals which are economically important because of their physical or chemical properties, rather than their metal or energy content. The term is synonymous with 'non-metallic minerals', and...

The mine was visited on Wednesday May 21st to select sites for drilling the cream clay shale known as the Warren Refractory Shale, so that a better estimation or reserves of this material might be calculated.

Exploration conducted over an area stretching westwards and eastwards from Marree, along the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin, addressed the potential for possible economic sedimentary deposits of trona, sodium bentonite, chlorite,...

An area located along the Marree - Alice Springs Railway in the region of Curdimurka was selected to be explored on the basis of its potential to contain deposits of bedded trona in closed basins, and to have sodium carbonate brines present in near...

61 shallow exploratory drillholes were completed in two of nine areas within the lease where it was considered that drilling might uncover additional shallowly buried resources of good quality kaolin. Nine of these holes encountered useable kaolin.

Further evaluation of the development potential and marketability of white clay deposits found in the Mount Crawford area, that contain around 12 million tonnes of quartz-kaolin material, has been conducted by a new interested party, Springton Clays,...
