The Mount McTaggart prospect is located 15 miles south-west of Arkaroola Base Camp and 3 miles west of the Arkaroola-Balcanoona Road. A programme of ten rotary percussion holes totalling 3457 feet commenced on 11/10/1971 and was completed on...

Correlates Troubridge Basin Permian biostratigraphic units with those of the Maitland Group from the Sydney Basin (Hunter Valley region of NSW). Minlaton 1 penetrated 600 feet of Permian glacigenes, deposited under glacial or coldwater deltaic...

The late Palaeozoic Cape Jervis Formation of the Troubridge Basin in southern South Australia provides a sedimentological record of the glacial environment during the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation. The sedimentary sequence is divided into five...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

A survey of rock materials suitable for construction purposes showed that the most likely sources are Recent alluvial accumulations, suitable for foundry and concrete sand, and Permian fluvio-glacials which are used for local road-building. Drilling...

The Quaternary Era includes the two periods known as the Pleistocene and the Recent (or Holocene). The Era, although relatively brief in the geological time sense in that it extends back for only about two million years, provides a vast amount of...

The Arckaringa Basin, situated, in northern South Australia, is an intracratonic Permian basin, composed of deep marginal grabens or half grabens and a central area of shallow basement, the latter covered by only a thin sediment blanket. The...

Results of two diamond drill holes, a seismic survey and one cable tool hole, indicate that this valley site is suitable for an arch dam, or a mass concrete or rockfill dam. A grout curtain will be necesary. A glacial channel on the right abutment...

Brief geological information is given for points to be visited over eight days as illustration of the Adelaide System in South Australia, with an emphasis on Adelaidean glacigene rocks. The Callanna Beds are seen in the Arkaroola region, the Aldgate...

Geological mapping shows that the catchment consists of two roughly equal areas. One comprises Cambrian arkose overlain by Permian glacial sands, and the other is composed of Cambrian phyllite and greywacke with thin slopewash cover. Salinity...

A town water supply bore with a safe yield of 3.8 litres/ second (3000 gallons/hour) was completed in an inhomogeneous aquifer consisting of fluvioglacial sediments with an average transmissivity of 2.75 m3/day/m. The interval screened is from 107 to...

Iron ore exploration undertaken within two small licence subareas centred 60 km south of Yunta, in the vicinity of the outcropping Razorback Ridge banded iron formation of Sturtian age, was directed at assessing the economic potential of the...

A small, north-western part of a licence located immediately south of Olary township has recently been relinquished due to it having perceived minimal iron ore potential. The only work undertaken on the relinquished ground was the acquisition along...

A very small area centred ~70 km south-east of Olary, and lying immediately west of the SA / NSW border and on the northern edge of the Murray Basin, has been explored for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences within concealed...

The banded iron formations associated with various tillite in South Australia have been recognised as being potential sources for iron however the low-grade nature of these bands has been one of the limiting factors in why they have not been...

Reconnaissance ground magnetic and IP surveys, undertaken by a China-based entrant explorer to investigate interpreted fault lineaments which contain minor surface showings of copper mineralisation in an abandoned working located north-west of...
