The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

The Adelaide Rift Complex, a sedimentary basin in South Australia, has a long history spanning over 300 million years from the Neoproterozoic to the Cambrian. Over 100 individual formations make up the basin fill, documenting its geologic evolution...

As a B.Sc. Honours project with the Geology Department of the University of Adelaide, which was sponsored by the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy, the author during 1978 carried out geological mapping of a nearly 400 square km area...

Areas near the Prince Alfred mine, located approximately 70 km north of Orroroo, were relinquished on the basis of them having either a non-prospective mineral association or too low values of trace metal geochemistry. Anomalous copper and traces of...

Exploration for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au in the Myall Creek area, located 15-50 km north of Whyalla, comprised surface geological mapping and orientation calcrete geochemical sampling, together with the re-logging, petrographic examination and...

Neoproterozoic glacial sedimentary units in the intramontane basinal valley located east of Leigh Creek and Copley, which were considered likely to contain possible geologically suitable palaeo-depositional sites for secondary uranium mineralisation...

(continued) During the fourth year of project activity, a second, more intensive vertical rotary mud drilling and wireline geophysical well logging campaign was carried out on all three subject licences in order to further test AEM and gravity...

Hallett Cove is one of South Australia’s foremost natural science treasures. Exposed examples for prime geological concepts of superposition of strata, depositional unconformities (representing time breaks), and folding and faulting of sedimentary...

In a search for possible concealed Olympic Dam type deposits in an area of the Adelaide Geosyncline which straddles part of the south-western margin of the Curnamona Province, two geophysical (gravity/magnetic) targets identified at Bibliando Dome and...

Exploration for possible diapir-related, discordant and stratabound sediment-hosted base and precious metals in an area located 32 km east-northeast of Cradock targeted an anomalous structural feature within Adelaidean metasediments, namely, a...

Exploration for possible economic secondary deposits of copper, uranium and gold that might be associated with known iron-rich sediments deposited at or near the base of the Sturtian sedimentary sequence, within an area extending from 60-120 km north...

A small area of the northern Flinders Ranges surrounding the Nichols Nob copper occurrences was explored for possible economic massive stratiform copper deposits, targeting the known mineralised Yudnamutana Subgroup metasediments. Work comprised a...

Reconnaisance and detailed geochemical surveys, plus limited diamond drilling at the Baratta mine (2 holes for 480 feet), failed to find any extensions to known but worked-out near surface Cu-Pb-Zn lodes. It was concluded that only a small area...

The possibility that economic coal seams may occur in suspected buried Lower Permian sediments occupying the north-western corner of the Canegrass Lobe, where no deep stratigraphic drilling has hitherto been done, was investigated by Minad using...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...
