Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

As part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried stratiform / hydrothermal copper mineralisation in the Yudnamutana Mining Field, the target lower Callanna Group strata were geologically mapped, petrologically studied and geochemically...

Reports describe the ongoing field prospecting and downstream jade marketing activities associated with the Cowell nephrite jade discovery. Black nephrite blocky material extracted from the operating company's new mining leases (MLs 4130-4132) was...

Marbles in the area mapped are equated with the Lower Cambrian Archaeocyatha limestones found elsewhere in the State. The Cambrian sediments which include arkoses, greywackes, and amphibolites are folded into a broad syncline in Section 113, with drag...

An inspection of an occurrence of talc situated in Section 228, Hundred of Jellicoe, 3¼ miles northeast of Truro, was made on 12/10/1960. The deposit was first noted by D. King (Mining Review 103, 1957, pp. 68-69) when a borehole showed about 4 feet...

An inspection of the above deposit has revealed that the present pit is located in the keel of a synclinal fold in pink marble of Cambrian age. Because of strong jointing and weathering along the joint planes, blocks of suitable size hare not been...

The method of differential thermal analysis was used to examine various naturally occurring limestones, mixtures of limestone with various minerals and clays, chemically precipitated mixtures of calcium carbonate and hydrated silica, and calcium...

A geological survey of deposits of marble situated in section 1564, Hundred Yankalilla adjacent to the township of Second Valley has been under taken with the assistance of Surveyor, M.G. Orian. The deposits are exposed over the north western slopes...

Quarrying of marginal zones of low grade marble contaminated by silicate minerals has caused a decline in the quality of stone produced at Penrice. The extent of these zones has been indicated following a re-interpretation of the original quarry...

Probable reserves of white massive marble above road level are estimated at 1 million cubic yards with an additional 28000 cubic yards per foot below this depth. Five diamond drill sites have been selected to prove the deposit. The results of this...

In the Bald Hill area, one mile south of Angaston, 1½ million cubic yards of high grade marble (greater than 90% total carbonate) are available for quarrying above the 780 feet level. Reserves of high grade marble in the western area are estimated at...
