A preliminary geological reconnaissance carried out within the Delamere district of the Fleurieu Peninsula has identified two types of marble with good potential as dimension and ornamental stone. These stones, a pink fine-grained marble and a banded...

Base metal mineralisation, indicated by newly discovered shafts at the historic Atkinson Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn mine, was the impetus for exploration in the upland area 20 km north-west from Cowell. Grab samples collected from shafts, stockpiles and dumps varied...

Contains a subset of data compiled by the licensee on the subject of commercial use of coloured iron oxides, plus some progress reports dealing with an assessment of red dolomitic marble from the Ajax Limestone unit for its potential use as an...

Adelaide Brighton Cement took up tenure of the Moorlands lignite deposit during September 1976 in order to conduct confirmatory drilling of the published coal resource, to prepare a mining study for Lobe 'E', and overall, to assess the coal's...

Extensive geophysical prospecting, an 8 hole percussion drill coring programme (477 m) and a 140 hole RAB drilling programme (1798 m) at the Lady Franklin prospect were not encouraging. Percussion drillhole 83WP2 intersected a zone of primary but...

An area centred ~28 km east of Hawker is being explored for possible buried epigenetic/hydrothermal, skarn style and sediment-hosted stratabound base and precious metals mineralisation that may have formed within prepared Adelaidean metasedimentary...

TARGET: Marble resources in the Angaston area which might be suitable to use as raw material for soda ash manufacture. EXPLORATION: Detailed geological mapping [some scale(s) given] and surface rock chip geochemical sampling (22) of various deposits....

Nephrite jade is associated with Lower Proterozoic dolomitic marbles and calc-silicate rocks as part of a sequence of metasedimentary quartzo-feldspathic gneisses, quartzites and mica schists of amphibolite metamorphic facies. These rocks normally...

Two adjoining licence areas located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township, in the ranges lying immediately east of the Telford coal basin, are being explored for possible economic occurrences of marble rock which are believed to hold enormous...

A collection of miscellaneous reports referring to geochemical sampling of costeans and exposed bedrock, drilling, mapping and petrology work that has recently been carried out in the re-developed Burra open cut copper mine. The focus of the work...

The target of exploration carried out approximately 60 km north-east of Burra was diamonds, with base metals and coal as secondary interests. Aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys identified several anomalies which were interpreted as possibly due to...

This Cambrian marble deposit, which has been quarried by BHP since August 1942 to supply metallurgical fluxes to its Whyalla Steelworks, has recently been surveyed, mapped at 1:1200 scale and sampled through its entire extent to determine stone grades...

Renewed base metal exploration over part of the historic Yudnamutana Mining Field has targeted base metal anomalies previously found by Australian Selection in the Blue mine area. An area of about 80 square miles was assessed by reconnaissance stream...

In an area of strongly folded, sericitised and silicified lower Adelaidean sedimentary rocks located km north-east of Terowie, an initial four areas of base metal geochemical anomalism were identified on prior EL 158 by surface sampling and geological...

In South Australia the abundance of stone suitable for building, and the comparative lack of easily worked local timber, at a very early date determined the choice of building material, so that the use of stone is very general throughout the State....

A newly found, up to 2 inch wide vein of asbestos occurring within a magnesian marble bed in the Mount Olinthus district was inspected and qualitatively assessed from a single shallow trench exposure.

In a continuing diamond-drill programme designed to define the quality of quarried marble, four inclined holes totalling 1,056.3 feet were drilled for the Company in 1966. The marginal zone of inferior-grade material (below 95% CaCO3) which has been...

Detailed geological mapping has shown that the marble varies from fine-grained yellow and green to a coarse grained white rock. Reserves in the three deposits mapped amount to 18,500 tons, but only about 20% of this is suitable for slabs because of...

In an area mapped and tested by diamond drilling metamorphosed Precambrian (Flinders group) sediments include interbedded lenses of marble, quartz-feldspar gneiss and brown re-crystallised arkosic sandstone. Laboratory examination suggests that they...
