An area of 117 square miles surrounding Carrieton Railway Siding was prospected for possible economic diapir-related base and precious metals hosted within bounding Adelaidean strata. A comprehensive regional stream sediment survey was conducted...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 130 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and south of...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary cored holes totalling 189 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast just west of...

The report discusses the present viability of the envisaged land pipeline transportation of slurried Mount Christie magnetite ore from any mine to export facilities on the Great Australian Bight, where slurry dewatering and shiploading by normal...

Contains brief logs (mainly driller's logs) of various Highways Department auger and diamond drilling along the Callington-White Hill section of the SE Freeway.

Over the past three years crystalline magnesite has been found in the Mount Fitton area in many places, in a 12 miles long belt which follows the lower edge of a dolomite mass of Late Proterozoic age. The Mount Livingston deposit with indicated...

A mineral systems analysis for Cu-Mo-Au in the Delamerian Orogen has been conducted to assess the orogen's potential for containing this type of mineral occurrence. A conceptual model was delineated, and prospectivity maps were created. These maps can...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

The STRZELECKI 1:250 000 map area lies adjacent to the NSW border in the centre of the Strzelecki Desert, and covers some of the main hydrocarbon producing areas in SA around Moomba. Most of these oil and gas fields are located in the northern half of...

Three minor gravity anomalies, detected by a previous survey, have been tested by rotary percussion drilling. Small cavities were intersected in all holes, although only hole 6 (anomaly E) intersected cavities of the size predicted from the gravity...

The existing water supply bore at the Naracoorte Caves Reserve has been successfully rehabilitated. Groundwater from this and a newly drilled standby bore is of usable quality for gardens and domestic purposes other than for drinking. However, water...

The mining and processing of copper ore in South Australia's early history were based on Cornish practice and technology. The discovery of copper deposits, which led to what proved to be economically viable operations in the new colony, proved timely,...

Holdfasts were installed to 2 entrances to The Cathedral cave to improve safety for rock climbers and emergency rescue personnel. Four rockbolts were grouted into holes drilled into rocks of the Gambier Limestone. Load tests ensured adequacy of both...
