This report addresses processes and systems by which Lake Phillipson coal may be converted to fuel gases and liquids, sometimes with the simultaneous production of char. Published literature has been the source of all of the information. Aspects of...

Analyst's reports presenting the results of small scale test work conducted on selected drill core samples of coal taken from the 'S' and 'T' seams in the West Basin deposit of the Lake Phillipson coal measures.

This engineering technical report discusses at a basic level the current feasibility of using Lake Phillipson coal for electrical power generation, with the particular aim of determining those factors requiring more detailed evaluation in the future....

During October 1977, a limited drilling programme was conducted on the Lake Phillipson coal deposits to provide cores of various seams in selected areas of the Main and West Basins. The results of analyses of these cores are considered in this report...

Consultant's report discusses the intrinsic and comparative nature of, plus possible causes for, the unique chemical composition of Lake Phillipson coal, when compared with coal from other low-rank Australian deposits such as Leigh Creek and the...

As part of CRAE's programme for brown coal exploration in the Murray Basin in South Australia, airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys were undertaken in the vicinity of Lakes Albert and Alexandrina by contractors Geosearch and Geoex. Various...

Exploration drilling by Utah Development Co. during 1973 and 1974 in the area covered by EL 125 has outlined at least 2,000 million tonnes of medium quality steaming coal, of a quality considered to be comparable to that for coal from ETSA's Leigh...

A review of existing information indicated the possibility of Permian sediments extending southwards beneath Mesozoic cover. During 1971-1972, the licensee completed 10 rotary drilling traverses across strike that covered the entire Phillipson...

Ground covering the known extent of three shallowly buried Eocene lignite deposits located in the Port Wakefield district was taken up to allow their delineation in tonnage and quality terms, to modern industry standards (i.e. meeting the Joint Ore...

Two licences covering the undeveloped Jurassic coal measures of the Lock Coalfield have been taken up to allow initially for conducting research into the current technological and economic prospects for utilisation of the coal. Numerous samples of...

An area located just to the east of the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, occupied by many scattered large and small salt lakes surrounded by sand dunes, with Precambrian basement [of the western Gawler Craton] subcropping near the surface, has been...

Shallow drilling of sediments on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin (in 25 vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration of ~1280 m) to test for secondary uranium mineralisation, although limited by drilling difficulties, has resulted in the...

A significant portion of the Arckaringa Basin acreage held by Meekatharra Minerals, that was subjected to greenfields coal exploration between 1980 and 1986, has now been relinquished. Relevant exploration work, for which the basic data is being...

Tests on leaching of soluble salts from the coal showed that most of the chloride and an insignificant proportion of the sulphur could be removed, but this would be impractical as: 1) large volumes of water are required, i.e. 12 times the mass of the...

A review of available technology, and their application and costs, using SA coal deposits. Detailed cost estimate for gasification of Anna deposit recommended.

Shallow drilling of sediments on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin (in 7 vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration of ~110 m) to test for secondary uranium mineralisation, although limited by drilling difficulties, has resulted in the...

Adelaide Brighton Cement took up tenure of the Moorlands lignite deposit during September 1976 in order to conduct confirmatory drilling of the published coal resource, to prepare a mining study for Lobe 'E', and overall, to assess the coal's...

Ongoing coal exploration conducted by Western Mining Corp. in the upper South-East region has targeted commercial-grade lignite occurrences within the Tertiary upper Dilwyn Formation, which may have formed in geological settings similar to that of the...
