Stockdale's exploration for diamonds in the Barton region, at the start of the licence period, commenced with the evaluation of 136 potential kimberlite targets generated by the detailed in-house interpretation of data acquired from an extensive new...

In order to appraise a potentially economic discovery of very pure, high reflectivity kaolin clay located near Kapinnie on southern Eyre Peninsula, a drilling programme is planned by Endeavour Oil which aims to outline around 33 million tons of kaolin...

This report provides a brief summary of the geology and petroleum potential of the onshore, South Australian portion of the Eucla Basin at the time of termination of PEL 4, with the aim of providing a starting point for more thorough studies.

Maralinga is located on the crest of the Ooldea Range, an ancient (Tertiary) coastal dune which is bounded to the south by the Nullarbor Plain and to the north by Tietkens Plain. The dune field of the Great Victoria Desert covers much of the region...

Sleaford 1 stratigraphic well was drilled to a total depth of 436 feet, penetrating a sequence of Quaternary and Tertiary sediments before bottoming in Precambrian gneissic granite. Pleistocene to Recent calcarenites were present down to 110 feet, and...

Hydrogeological and geotechnical information is provided for a comparative cost study of competing proposals for the permanent disposal of soil lightly contaminated with nuclear materials. A total of 19 open boreholes and 6 cored boreholes were...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

This study draws together diverse aspects of South Australia’s heavy minerals (HM) resources geoscience to provide an overall context for evaluating their occurrence, economic significance and origins. Two main objectives are addressed by the subject...

This present paper describes and formalises several new species and the new genus Gambierina that were mentioned as manuscript names by Harris (1971) in an account of the palynology of Tertiary-sediments in the Otway Basin. These forms were...

Preliminary map was prepared from mapping and shot hole logging. Precambrian crystalline basement is overlain by Permian, Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments. Younger exposed units include gypsiferous clays, sandstone and calcrete.

Outcrop and subsurface samples taken from various sources, that represent all the Cainozoic marine formations of the eastern Eucla Basin, have been studied. The current stratigraphic knowledge of these formations in SA is summarised. A marine...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and economic geology of an area on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin and the western margin of the Gawler Block. The area is centred upon the FOWLER 1:250 000 map area. The stratigraphic section of the...

This report summarizes results of drilling to obtain water supplies for construction of the Eyre Highway, to the beginning of June, 1973. Drilling problems in the limestone have been encountered. Production from open trenches has been moderately...

A short programme of seismic exploration was undertaken by SADM during June 1974 in the eastern Eucla Basin. Aims were to investigate the nature of a narrow magnetic trough with a maximum interpreted depth to basement of about 2300 m, and to seek...
