TARGET: Now buried heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed within the Tertiary Parilla Sand as palaeo-beach placer deposits. EXPLORATION: Appraisal of SADME-held water bore data, photogeological studies, geomorphic mapping,...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sand accumulations in Pliocene raised beach strandlines developed along the south-western margin of the Murray Basin. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey during November...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound/hydrothermal lead-zinc deposits formed in Cambrian carbonate units, and also for hydrothermal gold, was performed under a joint venture agreement by Poseidon Minerals and covered an area surrounding the...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed in the Pliocene palaeocoastal dune and beach ridge sand sequence of the Marmon Jabuk Range, within an area extending south-eastwards from Tailem Bend for ~80 km.....

The heavy mineral potential of Tertiary sediments in the Chundie Swamps was investigated with 2 drill traverses (43 RC open vertical holes totalling 863 m) and reconnaissance soil mineralogical sampling. Heavy mineral contents were very low.

TARGET: In an untested area immediately west of Leigh Creek, extending as far as the eastern side of Lake Torrens, ETSA was aiming to find buried deposits of Late Palaeozoic or Mesozoic coal of a rank at least equal to that of Leigh Creek coal (and...

2 main types of copper deposit are recognized. 1 of these is of low grade, near the base of the laminite sequences in the Woocalla Dolomite, probably of syngenetic origin, and is believed to be the oldest and primary kind of deposit. (Gully, MG 14...

TARGET: Sulphides at Whyalla Sandstone - Pandurra Formation contact (Cattlegrid type), in Woocalla Dolomite (Sweet Nell type) and in black shale. EXPLORATION: Geological mapping at 1:30 000 scale, reconnaissance rock chip sampling, subsurface soil...

14 cored holes have intersected copper mineralization in shaley facies of the Woocalla Dolomite, and extending up into dark claystone at the base of the Whyalla Sandstone. The mineralised rocks occupy a shallow depression in the post-Pandurra erosion...

Opening up of the Cattlegrid pit has greatly elucidated the geology of the Whyalla Sandstone and the ore bearing zone of the Pandurra Formation and with the discovery of the MG 14 basic dyke and overlying mineralization, a much more direct association...

The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...

Initial study of the regional geology concluded that the structural deformation (large anticlinal synclinal) observed at the surface could be associated with the deformation of the Palaeozoic underneath the Mesozoic cover. 1:250000 structure contour...

The area is 1 of prolonged, active and deep sedimentation, and has probably been dominantly marine. Dark coloured shales, marls and limestones offer promising source rock conditions, and there are adequate reservoir sands and older dolomitised...

Structural interpretation of the pre-Adelaidean basement from aeromagnetic and gravity data defines uplifted basement blocks and basement fractures which were active as normal faults during deposition of Adelaidean sediments, controlling the...

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...

AIM: The 1986 Ingomar Seismic Survey was programmed to continue the regional investigation of basement depth in PEL 24, and to delineate any possible structural and stratigraphic hydrocarbon traps within troughs of the central-eastern Arckaringa...

Summary is given of available data and appraisal of leads. The primary interest was in the basal portion of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Eromanga Basin. Secondary interest was in the Permian Pedirka Basin sequence.

Report deals with an intermediary consultant's study of the socio-religious implications of locating three proposed PEL 24 1986 seismic lines within a 5500 square km area of the freehold Maralinga Tjarutja Lands, adjacent to the Wilkinson Lakes. To...
