Possible stratabound, Kupferschiefer - style copper sulphide within the basal sediments of the early Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation was the target of exploration in the Pernatty Ridge area. Aberfoyle's work has comprised a review of existing...

Exploration for possible Precambrian hydrothermal vein style or unconformity type uranium deposits and for any other economic metalliferous minerals was carried out over a small inlier of Early Proterozoic rocks that partially outcrops between...

A geophysical contractor's radiometric interpretation of track etch data obtained from surface sampling of 696 stations has suggested that only limited near-surface potential exists for stratabound uranium mineralisation in the South Plumbago area.

Drilling of 490 rotary drillholes (total 43,000 m) in EL 539, the majority being located on a 200 m grid spacing, has revealed the western end of a major Tertiary palaeochannel system, and has intersected significant and widespread subsurface uranium...

The intersection of massive halite in the ?Lower Palaeozoic sequence in Occidental Petroleum's Mercury 1 wildcat oil exploration well drilled in the offshore Polda Basin generated interest in the Tuckey area onshore for potash associated with similar...

Carpentaria's exploration for sandstone type uranium deposits in the West Coast region of SA over the period 1979-1982 has revealed a major Tertiary buried palaeochannel system. The main Narlaby Palaeochannel is 170 km long, up to 10 km wide and is...

Geological, mineralogical and sulphur isotope studies point to 3 distinct periods of mineralization, and suggest that the bulk of the sulphides in the 6 areas examined have precipitated from sulphide of biological origin.

A new broadband (104 to 0.01 Hz) MT survey array, comprised of four profiles having 1 km site spacing and 5 km line spacing, was used in May-June 2021 for collecting data at 63 sites to build upon two previous models of the electrical resistivity...

A cluster of adjoining licence sub-blocks taken up in the Yalata region are being explored for possible buried Thompson Belt style magmatic copper-nickel mineralisation which could be associated with large strike-slip fault structures transecting the...

Gasoline range hydrocarbon analysis, carbon isotope analysis of C12+ saturates and aromatics and GC-MS analysis of C12+ naphthenes provide a consistent picture of the source affinity and thermal maturity of Cretaceous (Murta Member-type) and Jurassic...

A small suite of Cambrian rock samples was selected to evaluate the use of the methylphenanthrene index (MPI) and other aromatic hydrocarbon ratios as measures of thermal maturity in Early Palaeozoic sequences. Such very old rocks do not contain woody...

This section of the study was based on source rock analyses performed on 75 outcrop and shallow drill core samples from 25 localities, plus other new data derived from Cambrian sediments intersected in the deep petroleum exploration wells Moorowie 1,...

Fourteen stable isotopic analyses and a micropalaeontological study produced data consistent with, but not proof of, a Late Proterozoic age for the Rodda beds.

The sources of previously reported noteworthy radiometric anomalies located near Old Boolcoomata Homestead, which had been detected in 1962 during a SADME/BMR aerial scintiilometer survey, were investigated by the present joint venturers along with...

An extremely tentative age estimate for lead mineralization is 1350 to 920 Ma, with an ore remobilization age (assuming only one such phase) of 920 to 500 Ma.

TARGET: Unconformity related, vein-like and vein-type uranium in the Cleve Metamorphics, Katunga Dolomite and Mangalo Schist; lead-zinc sulphides of Broken Hill or Balmat-Edwards type in the Hutchison Group. EXPLORATION: Uranium exploration...

Samples of ?Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments taken from 5 Pedirka Basin petroleum exploration wells, and of crude oils recovered from the Jurassic Poolowanna and Triassic Peera Peera Formations intersected in Poolowanna 1, were examined. The...

Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

13 Early Cambrian drill core samples from three wells on Yorke Peninsula were analysed primarily to determine the presence or absence of dinosteranes in their preserved organic material. In addition, a beach strand tar ball from the southern coast of...
