Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

Follow-up investigations of possible buried channel redox front uranium mineralization on the edge of the Eromanga Basin, in the vicinity of the SA-NT border, included a geophysical and structural interpretation of available data, the drilling and...

Diamond, gold and platinum group element (PGE) exploration activities carried out within an area of known kimberlitic and lamproitic intrusive rocks east of Elliston comprised aircore drilling (23 holes, total 1188 metres), addressing 17 out of 36...

Diamond and gold exploration undertaken on the two relinquished ground portions located north-west and east of Venus Bay on Eyre Peninsula, which total 530 square km in area, have comprised heavy mineral sampling, heavy mineral grain microprobing,...

Three of nine untested magnetic anomalies, identified by the reprocessing of company aeromagnetic data acquired over an area east of Elliston, were drilled as part of a regional search for buried diamondiferous kimberlites. The resulting three...

70 line km of gravity traverses were undertaken over potential shallow Triassic coal basins preserved by downwarping in the Lyndhurst area, prior to rotary mud and air drilling of gravity lows (15 holes, total 1,112.85 m, including 7.35 m of coring,...

Contains a SADME-written report on the November 1976 SA Government appraisal drilling of the Anna Coalfield (2 rotary mud/partly cored holes, total penetration 159.62 m, including 28.36 m of coring) to determine coal quality and verify thickness of...

In a rationalisation of its extensive exploration acreage formerly held in the upper South-east of South Australia for the purpose of coal exploration, Western Mining Corp. (WMC) has partially relinquished most of the ground that it previously held...

Exploration work undertaken within an area located 80 km north of Yunta and just to the south of Baratta has concentrated on two regional targets: Cainozoic sediments hosting possible alluvial gold, evaporite and uranium deposits, and Neoproterozoic...

This tenement was procured by WMC for an attempt to locate buried strata of the Lower Permian Mount Toondina Formation of the Arckaringa Basin, and to determine if they are coal-bearing, in the area to the south-west of the Wilkinson Lakes. However,...

TARGET: Permian coal in the Tallaringa Trough, east of Maralinga. EXPLORATION: An 11 hole RC drilling programme totalling 1480 m. RESULTS: Eight drillholes intersected up to 4 horizons of lignite and lignitic clay of demonstrated Eocene age, that...

Since the first edition of this map was released in May 2007, the collection by the Department's Geological Survey of much new geoscientific data and interpretations arising from South Australian regional surveys and exploration activities has...

The well sections analysed are mainly of Cretaceous age and are largely in the early to middle mature zones for oil generation. The Lower Cretaceous sections in Geltwood Beach 1 and Chama 1a have attained sufficient maturity for the commencement of...

3 samples of carbonaceous silt from 2 drill holes were examined for palynomorph content. 2 samples S4971 and S4973 yielded very rich and well preserved assemblages of plant microfossils.

Diamond exploration addressing eleven aeromagnetic targets located between Wirulla and Ceduna comprised loam sampling, ground magnetic surveys and diamond drilling (12 holes, total 770 m). No indicator minerals or anomalous assays were detected.

Eight drill core samples from drillhole Newmont NB/SR 12 were examined palynologically so as to assess their palynostratigraphical position, hydrocarbon source rock potential and maturity. A summary of the results of this study are presented. The...

The subject area, which covered the western onshore portion of the Polda Trough, was initially acquired to explore buried probable Carpentarian sediments for base metals and uranium, but a subsequent review of available information suggested that...

Initial bulk gravel sampling for diamond indicator minerals, and sampling of residual surface clays for base metals, returned negative results and only background values respectively. Subsequent rotary drilling of 3 holes (total 390 m), following...
