Stream and soil sampling of the Cambrian sequence exposed between Willunga and Normanville has outlined several lead-zinc anomalies. Wagon drilling at the Forktree anomaly, 3½ miles NNE of Normanville, showed that widespread manganese oxides are...

Concentrations of copper occur in sandstone (Whyalla Sandstone Member) and dolomite (Woocalla Dolomite) which rest disconformably on an undulating surface of quartzite (Pandurra Formation) in the Mount Gunson area. Several attempts have been made to...

Exploration of an area extending for ~9 km along the western, shore-land side of the Sleaford Mere lagoon, located near the southern tip of Eyre Peninsula, has mainly sought to identify possible untested buried graphite occurrences which could be...

The Fleurieu Project, incorporating EL's 2839 (Bremer), 3128 (Currency Creek) and 2677 (Langhorne Creek), is located approximately 60km southeast of the city of Adelaide, centred about the township of Strathalbyn. The Fleurieu Project began life in...

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

The Musgrave Province is largely incorporated within the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands and includes cratonic crystalline middle Proterozoic basement rocks of the Musgrave Province proper, as well as mantling younger sedimentary rock successions...

A soil-sampling program conducted on the public reserve adjacent to Dawesley Creek in the township of Brukunga was designed to determine the likely hazard of heavy metal contamination in the reserve. The reserve is on a site containing a small amount...

Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

ELA 2002/00154 is made up of three geographically separate sub-areas aligned in a north-easterly direction along the Bulgunnia Shear Zone. Neither the northern nor the central sub-areas have any basement rock outcrop, with the depth of younger cover...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

A regional geological interpretation of newly-acquired magnetic data for the majority of the Musgrave Block (central Australia) has been compiled at 1:250 000 scale. This report outlines the methodology and results of interpretation. Highlights of...

The proposed Lake Gairdner 'section 12 determination' area has the potential to host significant mineral deposits. The area lies close to two major geological boundaries; to the immediate north is the Yerda Shear Zone, and to the west, the Yarlbrinda...

On December 3rd, a brief surface examination was made of the group of workings which includes the Gilles' Glen Osmond and Wheal Watkins Mines. Most information was obtained from old records.

Seven samples of hydrothermal quartz displaying textures suggestive of vein formation in an epithermal environment were collected from quartz veins at two sites on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula. A combined fluid inclusion and oxygen-isotope study was...
