This report presents the results of a Geological Survey of South Australia drillhole core samples logging project addressing a selection of the cored historical exploration and stratigraphic holes that have penetrated probable Delamerian Orogeny -...

MSDP01 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 1116.8 m depth over the period 31/7/2015-15/9/2015, and intersected six...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...

The Delamerian basement to the Murray Basin has been selected as the focus region for a major Geological Survey of South Australia project being conducted as part of the MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative...

An area south-west of Arkaba Woolshed, 10 miles north of Hawker, shows extensive and generally low grade crocidolite mineralisation of Proterozoic dolomitic limestone, associated with diorite occurrences. True crocidolite is too rare for the area to...

This report book contains zircon - derived U-Pb geochronological data, which was obtained between January 2005 and April 2006, for basement rock samples taken from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The data has been generated as part of the...

Opal has a long history of use, both as a treasured possession and for personal adornment. Opal artefacts several thousand years old have been discovered in East Africa. The first discovery of common opal in Australia was made near Angaston (SA) by...

Exploration for unconformity-related uranium deposits has been performed within the subject ELs by Pancontinental Mining on behalf of joint venture partners since 1979. The initial exploration concept was to look for economic deposits occurring at or...

This RB represents a handbook written to accompany a display of drill core from around the State, which was briefly assembled in the foyer of the Adelaide Convention Centre for easy inspection by attendees at all three days of SAREIC 2015. Samples had...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...

An application for financial assistance to resume mining at the Avondale mine, by sinking a vertical shaft to a depth of 220 feet on the East lode, was made on 28/6/1948 by Mr. A.R. Dodson on behalf of Dodson & Co. After making a geological...

The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...
