Magnesite of suitable grade for manufacture of Sorrel Cement was submitted from Hundred of Davernport 2. The best temperature of calcination was 950°C. 3. The estimated cost of a plant for calcining 800 tons per annumm is £36,000. 4. The cost in...

The present survey was carried out in the search for further occurrences of magnesite, south of the deposit exposed in the Pt. Germain Gorge and closer to transport facilities.

Magnesite or Magnesium Carbonate (MgCo3), is an industrial mineral which occurs in comparative abundance in certain mid northern areas of South Australia. Although the more important of these magnesite deposits have been exploited to some extent over...

Following a request for geological advice on a deposit of magnesite on Balcanoona station by Mr C.F.C. Crisp of Netherby, an inspection was made on January 13th 1955. Claim No. 1933 is pegged over a bed of magnesite which forms part of the upper...

Includes a discussion about probable processes of mobilisation and recrystallisation of the dolomitic sediments, and describes the evidence found for the presence of a pyroclastic component in many of the non-carbonate sedimentary rock samples.

Numerous steeply dipping reworked conglomeratic magnesite interbeds within the upper part of the Skillogalee Dolomite range from several cms to several metres thick. At Camel Flat, the sequence crops out for 1.5 km along strike, and in a central zone...

43 491 tonnes of magnesite have been mined. The location, geology, tenement history, mining production, reserves and references are summarised for all deposits. The most important have been :Myrtle Springs - 19 625 tonnes in 1947 - 84Robertstown...

Near Carpa, on eastern Eyre Peninsula, a quartz graphite schist within metasediments of the Cleve Metamorphics of Lower Proterozoic age, is a potential source of graphite dust. Preliminary evaluation in 1974 was followed by auger drilling by the...

South Australia has been a traditional source of non metallic minerals. Those minerals currently being mined that offer scope for expansion is – Barite – In pigments, drilling muds, the manufacture of barium chemicals and for medical purposes...

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

Major resources of magnesite are included as sedimentary interbeds within Late Proterozoic Skillogalee Dolomite which extends the length of the Geosyncline for 820 km. Magnesite interbeds are best developed from Leigh Creek to the Willouran Ranges,...

Established producers have taken advantage of export opportunities for gypsum, salt and dolomite. New developments include a graphite processing plant at the former Uley Graphite Mine and trial mining of micaceous iron oxide for pigments. Proposals...

This data package discusses mining and processing operations of the major non metallic and industrial mineral commodities in South Australia and is of interest to those in the industry and to manufacturers and suppliers of a range of machinery and...
