From 1912 - 1939, 44 900 tonnes of auriferous gold ore with grade of 18.6 g/t Au were treated and the tailings stored on site, containing an indicated 35 400 tonnes of 3.62 g/t Au and 0.23% Cu. Cyanidation tests indicate that 101 600 g of gold can be...

Volcanism associated with the Middle Proterozoic Gawler Range acid volcano-plutonic province was initiated in the Kokatha area by the construction on Archaean basement of a large stratovolcano composed mainly of tholeiitic basalt and potassic basaltic...

Tonnages and gold content of tailings and slimes stockpiled at the Government Stamp Battery at Peterborough were calculated from hand auger drilling and mining return records. The amount of recoverable gold was determined by mineralogical and...

Old mines and prospects were located, sketch mapped and photographed. Ultra- violet lamp was used to search for scheelite in Mt McTaggart area and west of Mt Fitton. Scintillometer was used to search for radioactive minerals.

The Kings Bluff goldfield operated from 1887 to about 1918, with sporadic interest shown by prospectors thereafter. Gold is found primarily in vuggy quartz veins transecting the quartzite host-rock. The vugs themselves, which are relatively higher...

Gold mineralisation occurs near Orama Hill, situated north of Koonamore Station Homestead, and at Kirkeek?s Treasure gold mine on the Nillinghoo Goldfield. These two localities are about 25 km apart, and lie along the axis of the Orama Hill Anticline....

The mines and mineral deposits in the proposed park are summarized from departmental records with list of references and plans available on microfilm.

Exploration has not been exhaustive and potential exists for discovery of economic Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. Kanmantoo Trough contains a source of sulphur, metals, energy and structural elements for formation of Pb-Zn-Ag orebodies, as well as copper and...

Earea Dam Goldfield is 38 km ESE of Tarcoola, on section 1007, out of hundreds. Since discovery in 1899, 1 869.63 tonnes of ore have yielded 59 237.59 grams of gold bullion, during several periods of operation. Ore has been treated at Tarcoola,...

Cyanidation of tailings from ore crushed at the Government Stamp Battery at Peterborough ceased in 1964. Previously cyanided tailings stockpiled between 1897 and 1964 contain 5 020 tonnes averaging 3.2 g/t gold (total gold content 16 162 grams). No...

From commencement of crushing operations in March 1933 until its closure in March 1954, the South Australian State Government battery at Mongolata Goldfield crushed a total of 7600 tonnes of ore for a recovery of 318.25 kg of gold bullion via onsite...

A seminar designed to heighten industry interest in South Australia as a place in which to search for minerals and petroleum was organised by the Department of Mines and Energy at the Australian Mineral Foundation on 13 December 1990. A number of data...

This report was prepared as a summary of all open file mineral exploration data from the KINGOONYA 1:250000 mapsheet area that are held in the SADME records management Envelope system. The aim of the holdings review was to describe past exploration,...

Open file company data from 101 exploration licences dating from 1940 is reviewed. To 1989, 1189 rotary / percussion holes (85 000 metres) and 132 diamond drill holes (31 000 metres) were drilled in exploration for uranium, base metals and, to a...

During the period September to December 1992, as part of the SA Exploration Initiative (SAEI), SADME completed an investigative drilling programme of concealed bedrock in the area of the Delamerian Bendigo Granite and surrounding metasediments of...

Between June and December 1993, 184 vertical RC stratigraphic drillholes totalling 10,126.2 m (average hole depth 55 m) were drilled by Mines and Energy South Australia at 2 km spacing along roadsides traversing much of the BARTON 1:250k map sheet...

The Challenger gold deposit lies in the northern Gawler Craton, South Australia, 750 km NW of Adelaide, and 140 km NW of Tarcoola. A 1.5 km traverse (the regolith line) was chosen for the study of geochemical dispersion and regolith stratigraphy...

The Poona Copper Mine on northern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, was worked from 1988-92 on an extension of the original Poona lode, a narrow, shear-hosted copper sulphide vein deposit in Moonta Porphyry of Mesoproterozoic age. The orebody is...
