A comprehensive review of mineral deposits and their geological setting is presented to guide planning decisions relating to the mineral industry. The report also provides basic geological, data and literature references useful to mineral exploration...

The region under investigation lies south of Latitude 36°S and is the most southerly portion of South Australia. The Lower South-East, the Mt. Lofty Ranges near Adelaide arid Kangaroo Island contain areas which, combined, are the 1.1% of the total...

Analysis of present production and estimated future requirements shows that available reserves in existing quarry areas will be depleted around the year 2010. Ownership of mineral deposits does not bestow statutory rights for working and legislative...

The groundwater resources of the Padthway - Keppoch irrigation district have been investigated as part of the Southeast Water Resources Investigation. The district is about 320km (200 miles) from Adelaide in the southeast of South Australia (Figure...

A groundwater survey in the Callington area was carried out to determine water usage along the Bremer River between Callington and Bletchley and also to determine the effects of a proposed irrigation scheme along the Bremer escarpment, utilising...

The groundwater survey of the Hundred of Talunga was first started on 17 January 1973 by J. Dodson. It was continued until 24 May 1973 when other projects prevented its completion. The project was undertaken by the author on 21 January 1974 and...

The survey was aimed at various aspects of hydrogeology within the Piccadilly Valley and immediate surroundings. The Piccadilly Valley is located 10km South East of Adelaide in the Hundred of Onkaparinga. The extent of the area ranged from 1km west...

This report summarises results of a survey of water withdrawal points along the lower Angas and Bremer Rivers. Where possible an attempt was made at estimating the quantities involved at each point.

A survey of existing borehole data on Kangaroo Island revealed that fresh groundwater is a limited resources which needs protection from overpumping (leading to salt water intrusion) and also pollution. As there are no plans for development involving...

Over the past 7 years, bore surveys have been completed in the Hundred of Willunga and the western portion of Kuitpo. The number of bores totalled 719 for the Hundred of Willunga and 105 for the western portion of Kuitpo. Following the survey, a large...

The hundred of Encounter Bay has little exploitable underground water outside of the Hindmarsh Tiers Basin referred to in DM75/24. Excluding the Hindmarsh Tiers there are about 75 bores in the hundred, all with very low supplies, but reasonable...

Maslin Beach is the only major sand producing area south of Adelaide. Since the start of mining in 1928 to the end of 1974, 10.5M tonnes of construction sand have been produced. A total of 36.5M tonnes of washed sand has been proved by drilling....

A field survey of bores in the hundred of Barossa has been completed as part of the Barossa Valley groundwater assessment project. Approximately 450 bores and wells were located. Groundwater quality is generally between 1000-3000 mg/l with supplies of...

At the end of September 1975, 170 bores have been established as monitoring points for the State wide network of observation bores set up under the auspices of the Technical Committee on Water Quality. Analytical results have shown certain bores...
