No sedimentary phosphorate has been found in commercial quantities in outcropping Cambrian rocks of the Flinders Ranges. Two types of minor occurrences were defined: - 1.Those in ferruginous glauconitic limestone (consisting of pelletal apatite)....

The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

Seven holes drilled to a maximum depth of 195 ft. (59 m) tested part of the Mt. John Paralana Fault zone for mercury. No anomalous concentrations of mercury were detected. Three holes tested the Parachilna Formation west of the Moro Mine. Anomalous...

Exploration for possible Mississippi Valley style stratabound lead-zinc deposits hosted by Lower Cambrian carbonates in the Angepena area, 70 km north-east of Blinman, comprised regional and detailed geological mapping, reconnaissance stream sediment...

Early Cambrian marine sediments in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, were deposited on a continental margin platform, and have been divided into five unconformity bounded depositional sequences and subsequences, ranging in age from basal Cambrian to...

Exploration of an area located 55-70 km east-southeast of Leigh Creek, where it was hoped that undiscovered Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc mineralisation might exist within slightly folded Lower Cambrian strata, has consisted of 1:25,000 scale...

The availability of rainwater, and possible harvesting techniques and storage media are investigated. Reasonable amounts of rainfall occur, but falls are interspersed by long droughts. There are problems with silting up of dams, and with protecting...

Examination of an historically worked occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, has involved intensive geochemical sampling of abandoned mine adits, old dumps,...

As part of a major programme in the Flinders Ranges aimed at locating economic base metal deposits, some semi-regional soil, stream sediment and rock chip sampling was undertaken in the Chace Range / Druid Range area. Stream sediment sampling gave a...

Evaluation of the base metal potential of minor historical copper workings within folded lower Cambrian strata, in an area located 25 km north of Quorn, failed to identify significant geochemical or geophysical evidence for shallowly buried...

Exploration for possible commercial accumulations of sedimentary shallow marine phosphorite ore in the Ediacara 'Sub-basin', 26 km west of Beltana, has consisted of a search within the Early Cambrian strata for any sites or layers of phosphate...

A number of base metal occurrences in the northern Flinders Ranges, previously classified as syngenetic, diagenetic and epigenetic in nature, appear to have resulted from metalliferous brine-sediment interaction with autochthonous and allochthonous...

The reported presence of high geochemical zinc values in the Parachilna Formation rocks exposed there prompted Kennecott Explorations to include the Reaphook Hill outlier of Lower Cambrian sediments into its regional investigation of the stratiform...

Reconnaissance geochemical sampling of creeks draining Lower Cambrian sediments in the Kanyaka Hill area has located several lead-zinc anomalies reaching up to seven times background, which are related to the Parachilna Formation limestones. A crush...

An area located approximately 12 miles north of Quorn was re-issued to Kennecott over a reduced licence acreage, to permit further investigation of Cambrian Parachilna Formation and Wilkawillina Limestone strata which had shown anomalous copper, lead...

Reconnaissance geochemical exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits hosted by Adelaidean and Lower Cambrian sediments in an area of the northern Flinders Ranges located east of Blinman has consisted of aerial surveys,...
