Ongoing exploration for economic buried stratiform copper mineralisation within a small area located 97 km east of Lyndhurst under renewed tenure has consisted of detailed, 1:1000 scale geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling, plus...

Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling (4000 samples taken over 5 square miles) and follow-up traverse soil sampling (350 samples) have been completed in the vicinity of the historic Kanappa copper mine, 7 miles north-east of Springton, to look for...

As part of a regional search for possible economic stratabound Early Palaeozoic base metal deposits, Kennecott Explorations carried out stream sediment sampling and geological mapping of the Kanyaka Syncline, plus more intensive near-mine exploration...

The subject licence area was taken up to explore for buried economic copper mineralisation in fractured/faulted, hydrothermally-altered Neoproterozoic country rocks associated with blind, near-surface diapiric structures that may have intruded into...

SML 214A was a one-year period of extended exploration tenure by licensee RMC Minerals at the Spring Creek copper mine and environs to allow a new farminee, Base Minerals Ltd, to conduct further work aimed at delineating extensions to the known...

Exploration carried out mainly to look for possible large primary deposits of uranium ore in localities surrounding Ethiudna Hill initially addressed the potential of several hard rock showings of uranium mineralisation which had been found by...

Exploration of an area that surrounds Yunta township, seeking possible economic hydrothermal gold or base metal deposits, has consisted of regional and detailed (1:4800 scale) geological mapping, plus stream sediment geochemical sampling (514...

Exploration for possible economic base metal sulphides hosted within a 10 square mile block of Carpentarian basement schists and gneiss, or within adjoining younger Adelaidean metasedimentary cover rocks, in an area located just north and west of...

Exploration for possible stratabound or hydrothermal copper deposits in an area between Johnburg and Orroroo consisted of detailed 1:12,000 scale geological mapping and a stream sediment geochemical survey. This work failed to locate any copper 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...

Widespread copper carbonate and weathered, disseminated sulphide mineralisation occurring within large diapiric breccias at Oraparinna and Wirrealpa, that are located respectively ~ 35 km north-northeast of Hawker and 20 km east of Blinman, was found...

Work carried out at the Ajax and Waukaringa mine prospects included an aerial reconnaissance, grab sampling of mine tailings heaps and limited detailed stream sediment sampling plus, at the Ajax prospect, the drilling of 5 vertical rotary percussion...

An application for financial assistance to resume mining at the Avondale mine, by sinking a vertical shaft to a depth of 220 feet on the East lode, was made on 28/6/1948 by Mr. A.R. Dodson on behalf of Dodson & Co. After making a geological...

Following discussions on assessment of gold tailings dumps at the Deloraine Goldfield near Williamstown, between the mineral lessee Mr C. Woods, and representatives of SADME and Amdel, a project was devised whereby Amdel technicians would evaluate the...

A relatively new technology of treating oil spills in marine and inland environments is bioremediation. This technique is based on the break down of the petroleum hydrocarbons to biomass and carbon dioxide by indigenous microorganisms, which are...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

The Burra mine 3D model was constructed using a georeferenced version of the original hand-drafted base map, which included elevation data points surveyed during the final phase of mining. These elevation locations and associated height data were...
