Groundwater flows mainly through two major aquifer systems: a regionally unconfined aquifer, and an underlying confined aquifer. The two aquifers are separated by a low permeability confining bed (or aquitard). Determining the degree of hydraulic...

This report summarises, in categoric fashion, all of the various exploratory and mine development activities carried out over the past four years on the broader Puttapa area exploration licence (as renewed), and within the mineral claims taken out...

In September 1975 the South Australian Department of Mines accepted a proposal from Amdel Ltd to purchase and set up some microthermometry apparatus, in order to commence fluid inclusion studies of selected rock types and minerals in South Australia....

A number of base metal occurrences in the northern Flinders Ranges, previously classified as syngenetic, diagenetic and epigenetic in nature, appear to have resulted from metalliferous brine-sediment interaction with autochthonous and allochthonous...

The Marne River is a main tributary catchment for the River Murray, which generates ephemeral flows in wet years. Concerns have been expressed at the construction of large dams in the headwaters of the catchment, about their impacts on streamflow,...

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the hydraulic properties of the Tertiary T2 aquifer and the leakage properties of the overlying confining bed of the Port Willunga Formation. A pump test, involving four production wells and one...

Following the acquisition and interpretation of a semi-detailed aerial magnetic survey, with ground gravity and magnetic surveys follow-up, 4 aircore/diamond drillholes, totalling 508.5 m, and 78 shallow RAB drill holes, totalling 974 m, were drilled...

Point Paterson, located on the Spencer Gulf coastline 15 km south-east from Port Augusta, was the site of limited commercial sea salt production from 1951 to 1963. A site inspection, recently carried out to appraise the abandoned facilities of this...

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,...

Tapley Hill Formation - hosted, Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper was targeted in an exploration programme which consisted of ground magnetic surveying and stratigraphic percussion drilling and geophysical logging (10 holes for 2058 m total...

As part of a regional search for possible buried Olympic Dam type base metal mineralisation, one vertical percussion hole was drilled to 200 m total depth at a site located 9.5 km NNW of Parakylia Homestead, principally to gather stratigraphic...

Estimates of areas affected have increased from 55 000 ha in 1982 to almost 393 000 ha in 1993. This is the first mapping carried out with consistent methodologies and guidelines. The assets currently affected, i.e. agricultural land, roads,...

Mineral exploration in the northern Curnamona Province is made difficult by a cover of weathered Cainozoic sediments up to 200 m or more thick, overlying weathered Proterozoic bedrock of the Broken Hill and Olary Domains. Four projects have been...

[ Note - here is only Part 2 of an abstract comprised of 3 separately indexed parts ]. During the third licence year of EL 1971, the joint venturers continued to conduct exploratory drilling of new gold-in-calcrete anomalies that were delineated by...

TARGET: Cattlegrid type copper deposits and Olympic Dam type copper-gold-uranium mineralisation. EXPLORATION: Ground magnetic, IP, gravity, SIROTEM, CSAMT, and seismic reflection surveys, photogeological and lithogeochemical studies, reprocessing of...

Groundwater sampling of 131 exploration holes, 3 stock wells and 7 deep diamond drillholes was carried out as part of a series of surveys to determine the usefulness of helium as a pathfinder for uranium deposits in a variety of geological,...

During the sixth year of tenure of the Warramboo licence, now held by Adelaide Exploration Limited as renewed EL 2846 covering the same 1363 square km area as before, the only exploration-related activity which occurred was the acquisition during...

Exploration for possible economic basement-hosted Roxby Downs style base metal sulphide deposits was undertaken in an area located approximately 90 km north-west of Woomera. Existing regional geophysical airborne survey coverage was too sparse to...
