Surficial sedimentary uranium deposits are estimated to comprise about 4% of world uranium resources. Calcrete deposits form approximately 5% of Australia's total uranium reserves and resources. Exploration for calcrete - hosted uranium of Neogene age...

This report, written by a very experienced consultant mining engineer (later the manager of the Broken Hill South Silver Mining Co.), addresses the known geology and mining history of the Kapunda copper mine from its opening in January 1844 until its...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

After placing the Aclare mine within its setting in the early mining history of the Kanmantoo and Callington districts, this historical account ranges widely, for the problems encountered during Aclare's period of operation plus the vicissitudes of...

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 mining and processing of copper ore in South Australia's early history were based on Cornish practice and technology. The discovery of copper deposits, which led to what proved to be economically viable operations in the new colony, proved timely,...

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...
