This report was compiled as a draft document in 1997 by Senior Geologist Jeff Valentine, a former officer working in the then Mineral Resources Branch, Department of Mines and Energy, South Australia, and thereafter was put aside and disregarded by...

A survey of analyses of Adelaide Sub-basin groundwater has shown that the removal of calcium and magnesium bicarbonates would give a 'soft' product water containing 500-700 ppm TDS, mainly sodium chloride. Trial operation of a continuous ion exchange...

This report presents detailed industry-derived statistics on the State's output and sales values of earth resource commodities realised during the six month period ended 30 June 2009, and compares the data with that returned for the previous six...

A geological survey was made of the coastal area between Port Broughton and Tickera, in the hope of discovering gypsum deposits other than those already investigated. The following gypsum leases have already been taken out in this area - Nos. 470 and...

A final stage of gypsum exploration in the Lake Malata area, 70 km north-west of Port Lincoln, was carried out under mineral claims and retention leases which were cancelled in 1991. Drilling of 62 auger holes (total 258 m) proved a resource of 1.2 Mt...

The presence of historic hard rock and alluvial goldfields in the Waukaringa - Lovely's Gully area, 35 km north of Yunta, prompted acquisition of the licence to explore the gold and other metal potential of surficial and deeper, altered cover...

Exploration for gypsum on the eastern Eyre Peninsula, 70 km west of Cowell, resulted in the establishment of mining operations at Terra Leen. Other potential gypsum sources were identified. No exploration for metals was undertaken.

Regional calcrete sampling on a 1.6 km offset grid in an area 60 km west of Cowell indicated that the area surrendered did not have potential for gold or copper mineralisation.

Two Holocene lunette dunes lying near the Barrier Highway, 14 km east of Peterborough, were sampled by hand digging pits to depths of 0.5 and 0.6 m. The respective two sediment samples were composed predominantly of sand (79% and 63% SiO2), with their...

Reconnaissance mapping done in two portions of the subject licence located close to the township of Meningie, and 15 km to the south, excluded these two areas as potential sources of gypsum. A sample from the depth interval surface to 0.8 m in the...

Tapley Hill Formation - hosted, Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper was targeted in an exploration programme which consisted of ground magnetic surveying and stratigraphic percussion drilling and geophysical logging (10 holes for 2058 m total...
