This selection of 22 brief reports covers the analysis of built materials, their sources and perceived condition, plus recommendations for their conservation and maintenance. The buildings investigated range from crude pastoral outstations to grand...

Sedimentation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) has occurred in a variety of settings from the initial intra-cratonic rift to the modern carbonate shelf. An extensive palaeodrainage system, remnants of which are still preserved, supplied clastic...

Examination of the lithologies of Aboriginal artefacts from western South Australia has been undertaken and the lithologies categorised. Stone tools were manufactured from a range of indurated silicified materials, derived from abundant local...

This paper describes the type fossil occurrences, their present-day geological setting and, as deduced from properties of the host sediments, their interpreted palaeogeographic locations and palaeoenvironmental depositional facies which probably...

South Australias mining and petroleum legislation provides a clear and environmentally sensitive route for gaining access to land for mineral exploration and development. The interface between the mining legislation and the newer green legislation...

Stable isotopes (deuterium, carbon-13 and oxygen-18) and radiocarbon (carbon-14) have been used in conjunction with chemical data to evaluate recharge mechanisms, groundwater residence time and palaeohydrology within the confined Dilwyn Formation sand...

The Murray Basin contains major deposits of heavy mineral sands, and intensive exploration for them is currently being conducted in Victoria, SA and NSW. It is evident that the western part of the basin was well supplied during the Pliocene and Early...

The framework of Kangaroo Island was largely established during the Cambrian, when widespread marine sedimentation resulted in thick accumulations of shallow shelf to deep marine terrigenous sediments. Orogenesis has deformed the strata into an...

There are no known major groundwater resources in the Garford area, which borders the Barton and Ooldea Ranges dunefield and Great Victoria Desert southwest of Coober Pedy. The groundwater that is used by graziers for stock watering occurs in...

This report comprises a technical and promotional brochure written and updated on a semi-annual basis for distribution to explorers, usually at the annual conference of the Australian petroleum exploration industry, plus at other local and...

The search by MESA for potable groundwater incorporated the use of Transient Electromagnetics, a ground resistivity method. This successfully provided drilling targets at two sites, Blue Hills and Wallatinna, but was unsuccessful in areas with shallow...

The high environmental values of the Coongie Lakes area are recognised through their inclusion in the Register of the National Estate, their inclusion as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, and wider acknowledgement that...

Exploration of an onshore area located in the vicinity of Watraba aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary Ooldea...

A planned reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling survey in an area to the east of Lake Everard was not carried out due to the need to obtain an access agreement from local native title claimants and after making a negative re-assessment of the...

An area located 40 km south-west of Tarcoola was taken up to explore primarily for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation within the Tertiary cover sequence, and secondarily for epithermal/hydrothermal copper-gold deposits or for...

Bedded deposits of magnesite known to exist within the southern Flinders Ranges, where they outcrop over a considerable strike distance extent in the country approximately 20 km east of Port Pirie, were identified by Magnesium Developments Limited...

Due to the licensee's competing commitments from others of its tenements in the exploration project area, the planned evaluation of geochemical prospects and Landsat Fe-alteration anomalies detected in shelf margin, deep-water carbonate sedimentary...
