The Telford Basin is an asymmetrically shaped synclinal basin containing sediments of upper Triassic-Jurassic age, which cover a 25 square km area. Sub-bituminous coal occurs in three major series of seams which are informally termed the Leigh Creek...

Late in 1976, the Mintaro Slate and Flagstone Company approached the South Australian Department of Mines seeking assistance to enable it to improve the efficiency of its operation and so enable it to operate more profitably in the face of competition...

The Australian continent is well endowed with most mineral and energy resources and its development has been materially assisted by the successful exploitation of these resources. Additional processing of these basic materials would diversify...

South Australia has been proposed as a possible location for a uranium enrichment plant. The process considered most attractive for enrichment is the centrifuge process, which uses uranium hexafluoride, UF, as a feed material. Existing technology...

An initial investigation was undertaken by The Department of Primary Industries and Resources SA (PIRSA), into the increase in salinity within wells on the Northern Adelaide Plains (NAP). This involved interpreting groundwater salinity data from a...

The Challenger gold deposit lies in the northern Gawler Craton, South Australia, 750 km NW of Adelaide, and 140 km NW of Tarcoola. A 1.5 km traverse (the regolith line) was chosen for the study of geochemical dispersion and regolith stratigraphy...

The principal objective of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) Shields Program and the Primary Industry and Resources of South Australia (PIRSA) Regolith Terranes Group in South Australia is to...

The Tookayerta Catchment is an area which is increasingly coming under pressure from its landowners for the development of local groundwater resources to irrigate dairy pastures, berry plantations and vineyards. The catchment encompasses two...

As part of the Government's South Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI), and in support of the South Australian Steel and Energy (SASE) Project, a small coal exploration program was initiated by MESA to investigate a number of subtle magnetic lows...

Economic deposits of iron-oxide associated copper-gold mineralisation of the Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style, hosted in Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the Moonta Sub-domain, were targeted by exploration in three now surrendered licences,...

A consultancy desk study of Jan.-Feb. 1986, as updated to 1992, for the proposed development of an underground longwall mine at the Westfield coal deposit. It assesses concepts of mining technical feasibility, establishes a preliminary mine plan, and...

In June 1986 Cyprus Australia Coal Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large American coal producer and marketer then holding exploration licences over the Weedina coal deposit in the far north of South Australia, submitted to the South Australian...

An area centred ~40 km east of Peterborough in the vicinity of Mount Grainger Goldfield has continued to be explored for possible small diamondiferous kimberlite bodies and for buried economic stratabound, structurally controlled and disseminated...

During the first few months of 1985, field investigations were undertaken at Leigh Creek by consultants Golder Associates to provide quantitative data on the strength and permeability characteristics of the geological profile of the Main Series coal...

An area located immediately south of Bindyi Homestead on Koonamore Station was taken up to explore for possible economic stratabound iron ore (magnetite) hosted by metamorphosed Adelaidean glacial sedimentary strata of the Yudnamutana Subgroup....

During the current period, 25 holes/1042 feet of diamond drilling to check on discrepancies with previous downhole percussion drillhole ore sample assays reported from the Lagoon area, plus 31 holes/2780 feet of exploratory/appraisal percussion...

Contains a report describing how MESA estimated the initial pressure and gas-in-place of the Pretty Hill Sandstone reservoir in the Katnook Field.
