A replacement bore was drilled by the Department of Mines in Section 1828, Hundred of Kanmantoo with completion at a depth of 61 m in quartz-biotite schists of the Kanmantoo Group. A standing water level of 4.37 m was recorded. Three stage pumping...

Seismic velocity discontinuities in the bedrock refractor at the site of an amphibolite deposit near Tailem Bend have been used to outline the contact of the amphibolite with the surrounding schist. A high velocity (1500 m/s) calcrete layer, where it...

The Petwood-Callington-White Hill section of the proposed South Eastern Freeway was investigated by geological mapping, seismic refraction surveys and 10 diamond drill holes. Rocks exposed along the route are schists, meta-siltstones and...

Sillimanite, andalusite and kyanite are three minerals with the same chemical composition (Al2SiO5) but with distinctive crystal structure and heating properties. All eventually convert to mullite at high temperatures. Sillimanite is the most...

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 Pallamanna Fault is a Palaeozoic feature on the western margin of the Murray Basin near Murray Bridge. Geophysical methods were used to delineate it and to estimate its throw. The results suggest that the fault zone itself is steeply dipping (70o...

A survey of the hundred of Waitpinga has been carried out to locate all water wells, and to obtain all relevant information on them. Over 60 water wells and springs were located. Groundwater is obtained from Permian fluvioglacial sediments and from...

Possible buried economic volcanic-hosted base metal sulphide (VHMS) deposits and magmatic epithermal/hydrothermal gold veins which might be associated with Cambro-Ordovician island arc porphyritic intrusions were the targets of exploration conducted...

Parts of the subject licence has been relinquished by current holder Terramin as part of the management conditions applying to the company's multi-licence exploration project under the Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement made with the SA Government in...
