Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

Results of sampling of white clay in the Precambrian rocks are recorded and potentially useful deposits are noted. The report relates the deposits to the stratigraphic subdivision of the Adelaide system. The useful clays contain quartz grit and the...

This report presents a comprehensive summary of the results of considerable geological, survey and beneficiation work which has been carried out at four mines. The mined deposits have been formed in Burra Group schists and gneisses that constitute the...

In 1985 1 production well and 4 scout wells were drilled around Quorn. Pump testing shows the production well has a low long term yield and none of the scout wells show any potential for town water supply. Deeper wells should be drilled in the...

26 hour test has shown that the discharge of the existing pump is very close to the safe yield of the well. Analysis of the drawdown curve shows that a second production well sited 150 metres from the present well in the same fissure system would...

Mapping near the Spalding Inlier and to the south indicates that a quartzitic sequence between the River Wakefield Group (now termed Subgroup) and Skillogalee Dolomite was wrongly identified as Rhynie Sandstone and should now be re-named. The term...

In Phoenix Copper's opinion, although several previous explorers had investigated the Spalding Inlier area, many targets remained insufficiently tested. The principal structural target the company wished to explore is the intersection between an...

An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...

Ongoing exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits occurring in Late Proterozoic metasediments forming the Eurelia Anticline has concentrated on evaluating mainly the Copper Claim prospect plus four less attractive prospects, after...

New sources of road metal were sought in three areas of the Council district on a basis of regional stratigraphy and structure. On the Willowie Plains, lime-cemented Telford Gravel forms an excellent road surface, and several new sources of this...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

A programme of stratigraphic section measurement is envisaged in order to facilitate rock correlation and help outline the pattern of sedimentation in the Adelaide Geosyncline. In many areas measurement may be made on air photo enlargement, as has...

An essentially unmetamorphosed sequence of Upper Proterozoic Adelaide System rocks has been folded into a parallel series of north and north-east trending folds on the ORROROO mapsheet area. Rocks of the Adelaide System are up to 50,000 ft thick, and...

The Spalding inlier is a lens-shaped area of tightly-folded Willouran rocks of the Adelaide System (Upper Precambrian), extending north-south for about 10 miles; it is about 100 miles north of Adelaide. The rim of the inlier is marked in most places...

The Spalding Inlier, about 150 km north of Adelaide, is the core of a faulted anticlinorium providing a unique exposure of some of the oldest sediments in the southern half of the Adelaide Geosyncline. The discovery of stromatolites within the inlier...

Exploration for copper mineralisation within a small licence area surrounding Mount Tinline, located approximately 20 km south of Spalding ,was aimed principally at finding deposits of oxide and carbonate ores similar to those mined historically at...

Exploration for copper and gold mineralisation within a now wholly relinquished 213 square km licence eastern sub-block, located 18-30 km north-east of Burra, has utilised geochemical and geophysical methods to assess the potential of buried...

Within an area centred ~ 15 km north-west of Burra, Phoenix Copper Limited has been exploring for possible buried, structurally controlled sediment-hosted copper and gold mineralisation within the Skillogalee Dolomite member of the Adelaidean Burra...
