TARGET: Economic fine-grained, Telfer style gold mineralisation occurring as syngenetic stratabound deposits formed in sedimentary basins during or soon after periods of basin subsidence and instability. The eastern limb of the large, overturned...

TARGET: High aluminium content clay to use as a steaming coal furnace fireside additive to Lochiel coal. EXPLORATION: Reverse circulation and RAB drilling (48 holes totalling 1046 metres) and moisture, ash, quartz and silicate analysis of samples....

The tenement group consists of EL 6789 (234 km2) granted to Open Minerals Pty Ltd (subsidiary of Pinnacle Minerals), EL 6790 (300 km2) grated to Pegasus Prospecting Pty Ltd (subsidiary to Pinnacle Minerals), and EL 6791 (517 km2) granted to Titan...

This report forms part of a continuing study of the Permian in the Cooper Basin by the PELs 5 and 6 licensees. All cuttings and cores from wells drilled in the Moomba and Big Lake field areas, and from Burley 1 in the Nappamerri Low depocentre, have...

A large tonnage (~10-50 Mt), easily mined deposit of white kaolin found by the landowner on a property at Mount Sturt has been partly evaluated by auger drilling 44 shallow holes totalling 707 feet, to obtain samples for materials testing and to...

A programme of rotary drilling on Kangaroo Island of 56 shallow exploratory holes for 191 m, conjointly carried out by Comalco on its ELs 396 and 408, was designed to test for possible economic bauxite and low iron bauxite claystone occurrences...

As part of conducting a regional search for possible occurrences of Tertiary sediment-hosted, Wyoming roll-front type uranium mineralisation, the Paralana Plains joint venture partners were required to drop at least 25% of the area of their EL 402...

A programme of rotary drilling of 56 holes on EL 396 (ENV 3300) & EL 408 tested for bauxite and kaolin in the weathered profile, and for base metals in Cambrian bedrock at the end of two holes. Economic amounts of the commodities were not found.

In order to appraise a potentially economic discovery of very pure, high reflectivity kaolin clay located near Kapinnie on southern Eyre Peninsula, a drilling programme is planned by Endeavour Oil which aims to outline around 33 million tons of kaolin...

Samples of friable white sandstone from two auger drill holes have been analysed and shown to be suitable for glass manufacture after removal of approximately 20% kaolin. White clay underlying the sandstone is worth further exploration.

Investigations carried out since 1964 have shown that although there are large reserves of Permian, Tertiary and Quaternary clays present near Klein Point, their chemical composition or physical characteristics render them unsuitable for use in the...

Ceramic white ware bodies have been developed successfully on a laboratory scale using samples of local clays, talc and silica. Proposals are being examined to manufacture wall tiles and other ceramic products at Port Pirie. Aspects of the occurrence,...

In response to a verbal request by Mr R Good, Designing Engineer, Engineering and Water Supply Department, geological investigations were carried out to locate and determine the strike and dip of a possibly permeable metasandstone layer, which was...

White, kaolinitic clay suitable as paper filler occurs in bleached shale. Drilling programme of 97 holes (7 000 feet) aims to define the body and prove reserves. Washing is necessary.

White weathered shale in the Birdwood area appears to be associated with north-south trending quartzite ridges. Scout drilling is recommended between quartzite ridges south of the pit in Section 6397, Hundred of Talunga.

Based on earlier published work on barium sulphate-alumina-silica systems, Amdel submitted a proposal to the South Australian Department of Mines to examine the application of these reported methods to South Australian barytes and kaolin. The proposal...
