Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic survey. A total of 3196 km of data was recorded over 13 farmout blocks and included 18 km recorded for the unit over the Moomba Field. Included are: i)...

Airborne and ground geophysical surveys undertaken in the Millers Creek area failed to give encouragement for follow-up drilling in a search for Olympic Dam type haematitic breccias.

The Murray Basin is a shallow, saucer-shaped Tertiary basin covering an area of 120 700 square miles extending from the western foot of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales and Victoria to the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. Geophysical work...

The iron-rich rocks of South Australia have been classified into six deposit types - residual, chemical sedimentary iron formations, Fe-skarn and, of lesser significance, hydrothermal, clastic and magmatic. Production has been overwhelmingly from...

This review summarises Block exploration to date, provides a lengthy outline of the petroleum geology, and quantifies future hydrocarbon potential with respect to play concepts and mapped prospects and leads. Exploratory works comprising 49 wells,...

Contains a report on the aims and mechanics of a student seismic mapping project to interpret and digitally display the 'Z'-Horizon depth structure across the Pedirka and Simpson Basins region. 305 seismic lines totalling just over 10 000 line km of...

Rock alteration to strata on the northern Yorke Peninsula, which appears to have been caused by an event which spanned the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic boundary (~1600 Ma), was responsible for emplacing much of the mineralisation found in the...

The National Argon Map was an AuScope-funded pilot project (2020–2021). The project aimed to compile a national-scale map of and to analyse new samples to fill the gaps in national coverage in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. This report provides the results...

A 2016 summary of iron ore opportunities within South Australia. Each mine, deposit or prospect has detailed resource information and a snap-shot of the associated companies at that time.

Gold: Gold mineralisation is widespread in South Australia and occurs in most geological provinces Copper: Many of the deposits in South Australia’s copper provinces are covered by a sequence of younger rocks that have effectively hidden many large...

Australia has a substantial allocation of the world’s uranium resources, especially defined under the lower risk RAR (Reasonably Assured Resources) metric. Australia hosts 29% of the world’s uranium resources (RAR and inferred) recoverable at...

Gold mineralisation is widespread and occurs in most geological provinces of South Australia. Gold in South Australia is obtained from two types of primary deposits - quartz veins (reefs or lodges) and deposits worked mainly for base metals from which...

South Australia’s copper deposits are held within three significant regions, Gawler Craton, Curnamona Province and the Adelaide Geosyncline, which host 3 producing mines, 4 developing projects and over 40 copper prospects. Many of the deposits in...

South Australia is the birthplace of the Australian iron ore industry. There are existing operational mines in the Middleback Ranges. There are a further two mines approved and twenty developing projects across the State with identified resources of...

South Australia is home to 61% of Australia’s JORC graphite resources with 1.8 million tonnes of contained graphite. Due to South Australia’s highly prospective geology there are substantial opportunities to discover further deposits. South...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

The Geological Survey Branch of the South Australian Department of Mines began systematic production of standard geological map sheets in 1949. This work continues and is an important contribution to the development of the State. Base maps are...

Mapping and sampling beyond the area of the Myponga phosphate quarry has indicated the existence of further occurrences of phosphate rock. The phosphate-bearing areas have been faulted, producing a number of isolated blocks. At least two phosphatic...
