The Padthaway Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is located 300 km SE of Adelaide and covers an area of ~700 square km. The PWA can be divided by topography into a low-lying interdunal flat to the west and a remnant dune ridge that rises above the flat by...

The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is a military testing range covering ~127,000 square km of the land surface of central South Australia. Underlying it are highly prospective rocks of the Gawler Craton, a major province of the earth's crust which...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...

South Australia’s Energy and Mining Strategy is a confident statement of the potential for this key sector to build on their enduring strengths, world leadership and capacity for innovation to power a speedy recovery from the unprecedented setbacks of...

The Minerals value-chain Scorecard, initiated in 2001, provides information regarding the performance of South Australia's mineral industry across the exploration, investment, production, processing and export stages of wealth creation. In doing so,...

Water is a valuable commodity in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, which has traditionally been sourced from palaeovalley sands, calcrete, and alluvial and aeolian sediments, as well as from the onlapping sediments of the Officer...

A program of soil and stream sediment sampling was conducted along the Dawesley - Bremer Catchment to determine the extent and magnitude of potential heavy metal contamination downstream from the Brukunga Pyrite Mine. Arsenic, cadmium, copper and zinc...

Aerial photography, satellite imagery, geological maps and on-ground geological and geophysical (transient electromagnetic) investigations were used in early 1998 to select drilling sites for additional water wells to supply Indulkana township in the...

At the request of architect Giles Walkley, a domestic residence located at 2 Belmore Terrace, Woodville, South Australia was examined for the purpose of determining what stone the house was constructed from, and if possible, the location of the quarry...

The Minerals value-chain Scorecard, initiated in 2001, provides information regarding the performance of South Australia's mineral industry across the exploration, investment, production, processing and export stages of wealth creation. In doing so,...

the Gawler Craton covers over 40 percent of the State in area and contains the world class Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit, which contributes significantly to Government revenue via royalties and direct and indirect employment. The Gawler...

This report presents the results of a study by the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) and CSIRO Mineral Resources to estimate depth to basement over the COOMPANA area of south-western South Australia. The study uses magnetic field data...

In late 1999, the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 1000 square km of land in, and adjacent to, the Gawler Ranges, for the creation of the Gawler Ranges National Park. This land has significant mineral potential, and has been...

No new work - background research findings given only. Reporting consists of an account of poorly constrained past exploratory diamond drilling information [data source reference and hole location not given], describing a single inclined diamond...

A water budget for two sub-catchments of the Clare Valley indicates that inputs of water from rainfall are at least matching outputs via stream flow, groundwater pumping and lateral groundwater flow out of the aquifer. Preliminary results from a...

The Comaum-Caroline Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is 400 km SE of Adelaide, and covers about 1900 square km. It consists of a coastal plain which rises to almost 70 m above sea level in the north of the area. In the far NE the Kanawinka Fault separates...

The availability of rainwater, and possible harvesting techniques and storage media are investigated. Reasonable amounts of rainfall occur, but falls are interspersed by long droughts. There are problems with silting up of dams, and with protecting...

The Plan for Accelerating Exploration (PACE) was launched in April 2004 (2004–2009; $22.5M) and quickly gained worldwide recognition as one of the most innovative government mineral resources initiatives. PACE was also quick to attract the support of...
