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...

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...

The Curnamona Province has been host to widespread magmatic activity, with several periods of granite emplacement recorded, variously extending from the late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Mesoproterozoic granites and volcanic rocks occur...

The Brukunga mine site is a former open pit iron sulfide mine that continues to contribute to Acid and Metalliferous Drainage (AMD) into downstream waterways. Mine-based sources of AMD include the waste rock dumps and tailings storage facility. In...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...

A program of soil and stream sediment sampling was conducted along the Dawesley - Bremer Catchment to determine the extent and magnitude of potential heavy metal contamination downstream from the Brukunga Pyrite Mine. Arsenic, cadmium, copper and zinc...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

The object of this study was to produce a single, robust groundwater dataset for South Australia that could be combined with other datasets sourced from elsewhere across Australia. Utilising historical data qualified by minimal metadata is not ideal...

This paper provides a formal definition of the Cultana Subsuite, outlining the igneous petrology of the intrusion, its geochemical characteristics, and the nature of hydrothermal alteration and brecciation affecting the rocks. The Cultana Subsuite is...

An airborne magnetic survey conducted over an area centred 90 km south-west of Coober Pedy highlighted probable northwesterly-trending mafic dykes offset by north-eastern extensions of the shear zone on which the Challenger and Golf Bore gold deposits...

Diamond, gold and platinum group element (PGE) exploration activities carried out within an area of known kimberlitic and lamproitic intrusive rocks east of Elliston comprised aircore drilling (23 holes, total 1188 metres), addressing 17 out of 36...

A 79 m deep RC drillhole sited on an aeromagnetic and calcrete geochemical anomaly located south of Bute returned anomalous zinc from Cambrian limestone over the depth interval 14-26 m (the best grade being 1 m @ 1802 ppm from 16 m depth). No...

Certain stratiform base metal sulphide deposits of the marine/marine-volcanic association are closely associated with ferruginous/siliceous sedimentary horizons (including banded iron formations). These chemical sedimentary horizons are known to occur...

No anomalous results were returned from BCL drainage sampling in the Mt Fitton - Billy Springs area, approximately 140 km north-east of Leigh Creek.

A number of base metal occurrences in the northern Flinders Ranges, previously classified as syngenetic, diagenetic and epigenetic in nature, appear to have resulted from metalliferous brine-sediment interaction with autochthonous and allochthonous...

Trial Rapid Magnetic Induced Polarization field surveys were commissioned by Mines and Energy South Australia over various historic and newly discovered volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) base metal deposits within the State, to gauge the actual...

Exploration for possible economic Tertiary lignite and coal seams within sediments overlying the northern flank of the Padthaway Ridge palaeo-archipelago in the western Murray Basin has consisted of the drilling and geological/geophysical logging of 7...
