In the Triassic coal measures of Telford Basin occurring 1000 + (?) feet stratigraphically above the main (Telfod) seam are a number of coal seams - the "Upper coal series" - which further add to the opencut coal reserves at Leigh Creek Coalfield....

Corrosion tests were carried out on several types of stainless steel to determine their suitability for use in the construction of components for digesters to be used for the leaching of Radium Hill ore concentrates. The testing was carried out under...

An occurrence of plastic clay exposed in a creek valley located approximately 14 miles east of Wilmington has been inspected and bulk sampled to provide material for laboratory testing of its possible utility to industry. 4 bulk samples were...

Two small deposits of white to pale-coloured claystone, discovered in creek banks located respectively 10.5 and 12 miles south of Manna Hill township, were inspected for the local station owners. It was found that the beds of clean claystone are very...

Plant tests conducted at Radium Hill on the effect of reagent S3000 on the settling and thickening characteristics of the tailings products are described.

A topographical survey has been carried out to determine the probable extent of a siliceous limestone horizon beneath a mesa, namely Sugarloaf Hill, located 2 miles west of Lake Bonney near Kingston-on-Murray, which on its northern part is worked as a...

Sturtian glacial sediments south of Yunta contain haematitic and magnetitic siltstones (banded iron formation) and haematitic and magnetitic tillites formed by chemical deposition of magnetite euhedra in a finer grained haematite groundmass. Both...

Results are reported of laboratory firing tests made on 11 shale samples and 4 clay samples, performed in both oxidising and reducing furnace atmospheres for various length heating periods over an extensive fusion temperature range. The bloating...

The accompanying resume of current knowledge of ironstone deposits in the Central Province has been prepared for general distribution. It is based on recent field work, and supersedes that previously recorded by the writer in Summary Report, RB...

Diamond drilling of the Mount Christie ironstone deposit has shown that three main ore types exist in it. At the request of the SA Department of Mines, drill core samples from hole CD1 were combined to produce three composite samples representing the...

Review of methods, mainly from USA, and survey of patent literature.

This report covers the design and equipment recommended for the construction of a mobile treatment plant to replace the existing South Australian Government State Batteries. The capacity of the equipment included in the design is approximately 50 tons...

Minus 3 / 8 inch material from 3 samples at Mr. C. Hueppauffs sand pit is close to fine aggregate specifications. Single sand classifier is recommended to reduce fines content.

Sample of phosphatic rock was tested by flotation with anionic and cationic reagents. No significant concentrations of apatite were obtained.
