The Wynn area was reassessed for up dip potential to the east of Wynn 1. Wynn 1 is located in PEL32 the Otway Basin, South Australia. Detailed mapping revealed a structurally complex area, which has been subjected to extensional and compressive...

5 rock samples collected from Ngalia Basin and Georgina Basin Proterozoic glacial sediment outcrops in the region north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory are described.

Swan Lake 3D Seismic Survey Area, Cooper Basin This review was undertaken to provide an understanding of the stratigraphy and reservoir distribution in the sub VC50 Cooper Basin section. This interval incorporates the red and green units of the...

This ARC SPIRT project aims to identify where natural fractures enhance reservoir permeability in the ‘tight’ gas reservoirs of the Nappamerri Trough. Year 2 of the project, reported herein, focuses on natural fracture “sweet spot” prediction with...

An interpretation of reservoir properties has been carried out using washed and dried drill cuttings from the Yarrow 1 and Yarrow 2 wellbores. The intervals examined (adjusted to equivalent wireline depths) were from 2670 – 2724 metres in...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

Primary Industries and Resources SA submitted 8 core samples to PGPC from the Warburton Basin, for detailed petrological description and X-ray diffraction analysis. Dr Doug Mason of Mason Geoscience Pty Ltd has described three igneous samples. This...

In an area extending aerially for approximately 4100 km2, the Nappamerri Trough PPL's incorporate at least five distinct geological regions and contain large gas resources within the coal measure sequence of the Permian Cooper Basin. Due to sparse...

Uranium mineralisation was first discovered at the old Shamrock Copper Mine during a systematic search of old mine dumps by the South Australian Department of Mines in 1955. Follow-up investigations located a small high-grade uranium lode (Valley...

In a search for possible concealed Olympic Dam type base metal deposits within an area located 80 km north-west of Yalata, the licensee investigated several previously identified contiguous magnetic and gravity anomalies by performing ground magnetic...

The southern portion of the Mount Painter Province held under ELs 871 and 1049 contains Adelaidean sediments of the Upper Callanna Beds and Burra Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. Reconnaissance work by Marathon Petroleum during...

A consultant's detailed regional geological study of the northern Willouran Ranges, and then his very close examination of the apparent controls on known diapir-related exposed epigenetic / stratabound copper mineralisation, have identified three...

TRONA EXPLORATION: Of the 9 rotary/diamond holes drilled, only the first, Meramangye 1, intersected a unit equivalent to the Observatory Hill Beds, which was the target horizon for trona. Drillholes Manya nos 2-6 and Marla 7 intersected Cambrian red...

Stratabound, chemically precipitated Telfer - type replacement style vein gold was the target of exploration undertaken over an area 25 km north-west of Yunta, which contains good exposures of Neoproterozoic Umberatana Group clastic metasediments that...

Exploration undertaken on ground situated east of Pernatty Lagoon has included the acquisition of extensive ground magnetic and gravity surveys plus a small aerial magnetic and radiometric survey, and performing many specific gravity and magnetic...

77 rotary / diamond holes drilled by Pacminex (total 9385 m, including 196 m cored) plus another 53 holes drilled within SML 544 by joint venturer Esso (total 7029 m) indicate that a highly prospective radioactive mineralised zone occurs within...

Detailed base and precious metals exploration undertaken by Utah Development Company in the area of the Worumba Anticline has targeted possible stratiform Zambian Copperbelt - type deposits. Exploratory work has included 72 geochemical vertical...

Exploration was undertaken by BHP along the western margin of the Murray Basin, between Lake Alexandrina and Cambrai township, for possible economic heavy mineral sands and for exhalative sedex-style volcanogenic/stratabound base metal deposits, both...

Ongoing exploration for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits formed in Tertiary palaeochannels in the Yarramba area, 50 km north-west of Cockburn, has included further open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging (176 holes...
