These 2 largest mines on the goldfield, reportedly treated 54 810 and 2 302 tonnes of ore on site during the late nineteenth century, and 3 789 tonnes of ore from the Alma battery. Based on survey and sampling programme in 1983 a minimum 37 710 tonnes...

Since discovery in 1889, 16 390.64 tonnes of ore have yielded 620 829.67 grams of gold bullion, during several periods of operation. Ore has been treated at Peterborough Battery, on site, at Wallaroo smelting Works, and interstate. Small amounts of...

An intensive search for a large low grade silver lead zinc deposit was unsuccessful, although widespread low grade mineralization is present. Associated gold values over 26 metre interval at Eukaby Hill are too low grade to support large scale...

28 auger holes and 14 trenches delineated a minimum of 37 710 tonnes of 2.71 g/t gold at Alma and Victoria and a minimum of 1080 tonnes of 1.94 g/t gold at Alma Extended. Tailings also contain an average of 2 g/t silver. Cyanidation tests show that...

2 889.7 tonnes of ore treated and 61 693.58 grams of gold bullion recovered. Detailed statistics include locality and mine name of each parcel of ore.

An indicated 29 100 tonnes of tailings containing 1.88 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag, 70 ppm Cu, 1200 ppm Pb, 350 ppm Zn, and 80 ppm As in 2 separate dumps remain on site. Cyanidation leach tests show that about 60% of Au in the truck dumps and up to 50% of the Au...

8 fully cored diamond holes tested possible fold structures near old mines, for Telfer type stratabound gold mineralization in shoots similar to those mined in the Alma and Victoria mines. 5 distinctive auriferous reefs were intersected in each...

Discovered in 1886, Westward Ho mine has a recorded production of 3 765.5 tonnes which yielded 34 729.48 grams of gold bullion. 4 000 tonnes were treated at a stamp battery at the mine and tailings were later cyanided. Remaining on site is an...

Gold mineralization in a deep lead was appraised. Alluvial gold occurs in a 1 metre thick basal bed. Over 60 samples collected from exploratory bulldozer cuts, main open cut and drill cuttings from water bore indicate grade of 0.073 g/t Au, although...

Investigations consisted of: 1) economic appraisal, mapping and sampling of mineralised structures within mineral leases; 2) regional investigation to east of Mount Grainger mine (report in RB 84/31) - includes details of exploration by Abignano Ltd....

Gold ore was treated by 5 head stamp battery between 1904 and 1924, then by 10 head stamp battery between 1935 and 1963 on adjacent sites. Tailings are stored on both sites and an indicated total of 13 620 tonnes containing 15.8 kg of gold at an...

Thin section descriptions from 3 drill holes with emphasis on origin of the gold mineralization. Mineralized sediments include shale, siltstone and sandstone, with early iron mineralization.

Basic information on history, production, mining, geology, mineral processing, and exploration at various mines and prospects. Main purpose is to demonstrate features of Adelaidean and other mineralization.

Tarcoola State Battery and Cyanide plant crushed and treated 33 514 tonnes of ore from 1901 to 1955 yielding 1 161 092.8 grams of gold bullion. An indicated 29 250 tonnes containing 2.18 g/t Au, 320 ppm Cu, 2970 ppm Pb, 870 ppm Zn, 250 ppm As and 6.0...

Summary of 11 week training programme.

Alluvial gold was discovered at Teetulpa in 1886 by Thomas Brady and Thomas Smith. Reef mining soon commenced, but the reefs were narrow and low grade and only worked on very small scale. Teetulpa Goldfield is predominantly alluvial, from erosion of...

In mid 1892, a 10 head stamp battery was constructed about 4 km NE of the Countess of Jersey gold mine. Reportedly 300 tonnes of ore from the mine was treated at the battery, but no records are available. Recent hand auger sampling and surveying of...

New Milo mine, the largest mine on the Wadnaminga Goldfield, was discovered in 1889 and has produced 10 665 tonnes of ore which yielded 359 401.17 grams of gold bullion. Tailings stockpiled on site are estimated at10 000 tonnes containing 2.08 g/t Au....

Semi quantitative spectroscopy on samples from the Mount Howden Mine gave anomalous results. The best recording was 35cm of greater than 1% Zn, greater than 1% Pb and 10ppm Ag. An interval (10m thick) of above background copper, silver, lead, Zinc,...

About 1,500 samples were collected during a stream sediment sampling survey on the Riverton and Eudunda 1:63 360 geological sheets and analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, W, Mo, Nb, Co and Mn. Rolling means, residual values, correlation coefficients and mean...
