In 2017, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in partnership with Geoscience Australia, undertook a regional drilling program in the far west of South Australia: the Coompana Drilling Project. The project sought to obtain geological information...

The most promising of three newly discovered kyanite deposits located near Radium Hill has been examined to ascertain its readiness of access, deposit morphology, probable ore grade, possible recoverable tonnage from opening up five orebody masses,...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Sandstone as a building material was used extensively in Adelaide and regional South Australia from the founding of the colony until the end of World War II. However, since 1945 the industry has declined steadily, with closure of many quarries, until...

This report presents newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb geochronological data produced by analysis of zircon crystals separated from six samples of rocks from the Fowler Domain, western Gawler Craton, that were...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

This hydrogeochemical atlas for South Australia builds on the accompanying notes to the revised hydrogeochemical data from the SA_Geodata groundwater dataset. The dataset is available online (Gray and Bardwell, 2016a;...

This excursion was designed with the intent of introducing its participants to the geology, mineralisation and alteration styles present in the Moonta - Wallaroo region, through guided drill core inspection, a trip to the Wheal Hughes open pit mine,...

Approximately 2500 km of petroleum exploration and development drilling has been undertaken in the Cooper Basin region in South Australia, which is a linear coverage greater than the distance between Adelaide and Darwin. However, only 1.4% of this...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...

Eighty-five sites of crystalline basement rocks on the Gawler Craton were inspected to determine which lithological or stratigraphical units have potential for use as dimension stone. The Gawler Craton contains a variety of rock types including...

A report scoping the possible environmental impacts of future seismic operations in the Otway Basin of the South-East of South Australia has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Act 2000. This document provides information...

A radio telescope with a collection area of 1 square km would improve ten-fold the sensitivity of current telescope technology. Such a telescope will require a 50 km diameter 'radio quiet zone'. The tools and techniques of Geographic Information...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...
