The late Palaeoproterozoic Wallaroo Group is interpreted to have been deposited during a major rift event in the south-eastern Gawler Craton during ~1770-1740 Ma. On Yorke Peninsula the group contains three lithological units, viz. Wandearah...

This project is part of the broader "South Australian Regolith Project" of CRC LEME, the principal aim of which is "to develop technically efficient procedures for mineral exploration in the major cratons of South Australia, through a comprehensive...

Drillhole TER 1, funded by the TEISA program, was drilled to test basement depth and stratigraphy to the west of Minlaton, Yorke Peninsula. This drilling project followed TEISA aeromagnetic and geological surveys of the Peninsula in 1999, which had...

The recent necessary destruction of the Kensington Gardens Isogal Station (national station number 6091.0108) initiated this review of all isogal stations within the Adelaide Metropolitan Area. Of the fifteen isogal stations on record within the...

Detailed airborne magnetic survey data which have recently been acquired over the southern Eyre Peninsula reveal a sequence of north-south, magnetically contrasting tectonic domains, separated by major north-south to northeast-southwest aligned shear...

Acting on behalf of Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of South Australia was contracted to scan 1260 m of sonic and diamond drilled core material originating from the onshore portion of the Bonaparte Gulf Basin, which is located both...

The Mount Fitton talc deposits lie in an area of regionally metamorphosed Adelaide System sediments, flanked to the north and east by granite complexes. The talc deposits occur in an extensive tremolite marble formation interbedded with a series of...

The Coompana area is characterised by several thick basin cover sequences dominantly composed of limestone, and forms the topographically flat Nullarbor Plain. Consequently, this region was previously considered too challenging for mineral...

South Australia’s Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world’s great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same causative thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class being...

An application for financial assistance to resume mining at the Avondale mine, by sinking a vertical shaft to a depth of 220 feet on the East lode, was made on 28/6/1948 by Mr. A.R. Dodson on behalf of Dodson & Co. After making a geological...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...
