Ideal location - 26 miles from Adelaide - good climate. 3½ miles from Nairne on Adelaide-Melbourne railway line. Electric supply to Nairne-Power requirements could probably be obtained from supply company. Small flow permanent water beside deposit,...

South Australia’s Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world’s great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same causative thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class being...

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...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

In 2017, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in partnership with Geoscience Australia, undertook a regional drilling program in the far west of South Australia: the Coompana Drilling Project. The project sought to obtain geological information...

The most promising of three newly discovered kyanite deposits located near Radium Hill has been examined to ascertain its readiness of access, deposit morphology, probable ore grade, possible recoverable tonnage from opening up five orebody masses,...

The gypsum deposit is a dune formation situated on the south eastern margin of Lake Fowler, 9 miles west of the out port at Edithburgh, on the east coast of Lower Yorke Peninsula. The gypsum occurs in two forms - mainly "seed" with interbedded and a...

This report presents newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb geochronological data produced by analysis of zircon crystals separated from six samples of rocks from the Fowler Domain, western Gawler Craton, that were...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

Fifty-eight shallow aircore holes totalling 2140.5 m were drilled by PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group in the Ceduna area during November 1999 to as part of a programme designed to assist regional mapping and geological interpretation of the CHILDARA...

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

This excursion was designed with the intent of introducing its participants to the geology, mineralisation and alteration styles present in the Moonta - Wallaroo region, through guided drill core inspection, a trip to the Wheal Hughes open pit mine,...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

Approximately 2500 km of petroleum exploration and development drilling has been undertaken in the Cooper Basin region in South Australia, which is a linear coverage greater than the distance between Adelaide and Darwin. However, only 1.4% of this...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...
