Summarises information gathered during mapping since 1981, particularly work by Utah Development Company. Covers fault - bounded structural complexes in the Callanna Group and sections measured through upper Burra Group, overlying glacial beds and...

Excursions are on Archaean - Middle Proterozoic geology of Gawler Craton, Precambrian geology of the Adelaide Geosyncline and Cambrian of the Flinders Ranges.

Investigates rippability of near surface material at edge of the South Para Reservoir, and along proposed channel joining South Para and Warren reservoirs. 13 shallow drill holes are recommended.

Data from AMDEL and SADME reports that pertain to Burra Group sedimentary rocks are systematically compiled as a data base for future reference and interpretation. These include organic carbon and carbonate content; sulphur and sulphide content;...

Gold mineralization in a deep lead was appraised. Alluvial gold occurs in a 1 metre thick basal bed. Over 60 samples collected from exploratory bulldozer cuts, main open cut and drill cuttings from water bore indicate grade of 0.073 g/t Au, although...

Investigations consisted of: 1) economic appraisal, mapping and sampling of mineralised structures within mineral leases; 2) regional investigation to east of Mount Grainger mine (report in RB 84/31) - includes details of exploration by Abignano Ltd....

Depot Creek is one of few localities with sedimentary contact between the Burra and Callanna Groups. The Depot Creek 1 drillhole [TD 874.35 m] provided subsurface control for making an interpretation of the structure of the eastern margin of the...

In mid 1892, a 10 head stamp battery was constructed about 4 km NE of the Countess of Jersey gold mine. Reportedly 300 tonnes of ore from the mine was treated at the battery, but no records are available. Recent hand auger sampling and surveying of...

Auger drilling has proved reserves of 630 000 tonnes of washed sand, 450 000 tonnes of cream shale and 730 000 tonnes of coloured shale.

Reconnaissance and regional mapping (Spry, 1952; Dalgarno and Johnson, 1966; Binks, 1968) have demonstrated a series of outcrops of Skillogalee Dolomite (Burra Group) on the west limb of the Worumba Anticline (about 20 km east of Hawker), between...

Stratigraphic sections were measured through the Callanna Beds and lower Burra Group, by tape and air photo enlargement, at the following localities: (1) north-east of Kingston Dam, (2) south-east of Dome Hill and (3) west of Callanna Homestead. At...

At Mitchell's Clay Pit, 1 km north of Houghton, grey and white weathered shale of Adelaidean age is extracted for brickmaking. The shale is folded into an anticline, which is faulted on the eastern limb against kaolinitic sandstone. Rotary drilling...

The Arkaroola and Curdimurka Subgroups of the Callanna Group (late Precambrian) are defined respectively in the Arkaroola and Willouran areas. The Curdimurka Subgroup is the uppermost of these subdivisions; it comprises 4700 m of sediments that were...

A study has been carried out to determine the cause of declining water levels in wells for irrigation, stock and domestic supplies. The study commenced in 19/1 and has involved field surveys, the establishment of a network of observation wells and the...

51 holes were drilled to assess weathered shale and plastic clay reserves. Tertiary plastic clay and clayey sand overlie red firing weathered Adelaidean shale, and extends eastwards under Hancock Road into Clay and Mineral Sales pit (formerly...
