Nairne Pyrites Ltd reported that, when ore drawn from a recently developed area of the open cut was fed to the mill, a serious reduction in metallurgical efficiency occurred. A request was made that laboratory investigations be conducted to determine...

A sample of flotation concentrate submitted by Peko Mines N.L. was subjected to magnetic separation as received,and after grinding. Approximately 10 per cent of the weight of the concentrate can be rejected as a magnetic fraction which contains five...

Background: Australia currently imports about 430 000 tons of elemental sulphur per year, valued at about $12,000,000 in 1966. The sulphur is purchased from Canada, the USA and Mexico. The annual production of elemental sulphur in these three...

In August 1966, a request for assistance with conducting pyritic sulphur exploration in the vicinity of Brukunga was received by the SA Department of Mines from Nairne Pyrites Pty Ltd. Brukunga is 29 miles east of Adelaide by road and 3.5 miles north...

Use of the Halcotrack track-mounted air drill is confined to easily accessible areas with dry subsurface conditions. Travel rate is very slow. Low angles of depression are not well accommodated. Compact indurated rocks are best drilled. This is not a...

South Australia has no known reserves of elemental sulphur. On the southern shore of Lake Eyre native sulphur occurs as nodules within crystalline gypsum resulting from micro-biological reduction of gypsum (Bonython and King, 1956; Baas-Becking and...

In October 2000 GTL Energy Pty Ltd began commercial investigations into the feasibility of establishing within Australia newly proven [coal] gas-to-liquids technology for combining power generation and synfuel production, by identifying potentially...

Ideal location - 26 miles from Adelaide - good climate. 3½ miles from Nairne on Adelaide-Melbourne railway line. Electric supply to Nairne-Power requirements could probably be obtained from supply company. Small flow permanent water beside deposit,...

Work consisted of gathering all available information and advice on, and assessing the problems associated with, treatment of the Moorlands deposit low rank brown coal to make it a fuel suitable for use in cement manufacture within a newly constructed...

TARGET: Permian coal in the Tallaringa Trough, east of Maralinga. EXPLORATION: An 11 hole RC drilling programme totalling 1480 m. RESULTS: Eight drillholes intersected up to 4 horizons of lignite and lignitic clay of demonstrated Eocene age, that...

As part of ongoing exploration of three areas in the western and northern Murray Basin, an open-file data review, in conjunction with the acquisition and interpretation of previous aeromagnetic and gravity data, provided a basis for CRAE's siting of 5...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...
