The Padthaway Formation and Bridgewater Formation aquifers provide a high quality groundwater resource in the Padthaway Proclaimed Wells Area (PWA). The resource supports an irrigated agriculture and horticulture industry. Irrigation is concentrated...

The offshore Mesozoic-Tertiary Bight and Duntroon basins formed through rifting and separation of the Australian and Antartic plates. Palynological investigation of samples dredged during BMR Rig Seismic Cruise 66 showed that the bulk of the...

Mount Barker Creek 1 was drilled by MESA Mineral Provinces Branch at a location 30 km southeast of Adelaide during May 1994 to test a model of stratiform lead-zinc mineralisation within the Kanmantoo Trough, and to confirm the composition and...

The southern edge of Australia is the site of non-tropical biogenic carbonate formation over a greater expanse of continental shelf than the Great Barrier Reef. The variety of modern environments and sedimentary facies in this region, and the major...

Seven samples of lignite and carbonaceous clay were assigned a latest Middle to Late Eocene age.

Five claystone samples were assigned an Early Cretaceous (Early to Middle Aptian) age.

Early Cambrian (Atdabanian to Botomian) sediments, known from limited outcrop and over 70 drillhole intercepts, are divided into the Andamooka Limestone, including the Curdlawidny Siltstone Member, and the overlying Yarrawurta Shale. The Andamooka...

4 samples of drill core from a groundwater investigation well located approximately 6.5 km north-west of Mundulla were examined palaentologically to evaluate whether the Tertiary Murray Basin sediments that were cored can be correlated with similar...

Palynological evidence indicates that all 13 submitted drill core sedimentary rock samples, excepting one (taken at 138.2 metres depth in hole A68-1), are late Aptian to earliest Albian in age. The sediments were deposited in environments ranging...

A detailed petrographic study of Permian sandstone drill cuttings and core samples selected from 32 drillholes variously located within the Officer, Arckaringa and Pedirka Basins was undertaken, with the intent of trying to classify the sandstones as...

The high environmental values of the Coongie Lakes area are recognised through their inclusion in the Register of the National Estate, their inclusion as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, and wider acknowledgement that...

An area located approximately 160 km north-northwest of Ceduna is being explored for possible economic nickel-copper-platinum group metal magmatic mineral deposits, which may have formed within Archaean to Proterozoic basement rocks in a geological...

The abstract for this Envelope is contained (in three parts) as separately indexed records, due to SAMREF database system individual record data size limits presently applicable.

An observed trend between base metals anomalism in soils and previously identified magnetic and gravity anomalies within inferred Adelaidean basement metasediments present within the eastern part of Mongolata EL 3164 provided the impetus for the...

Known magnesite beds existing within the Adelaidean Skillogalee Dolomite in the far north-western Flinders Ranges, and extending into the Willouran Ranges over a strike distance of 120 km heading north-westwards from Leigh Creek South township, have...

Dominion Gold Operations applied to PIRSA for PACE Initiative Year 2 funding in 2005 to assist with the drilling evaluation of the geology and mineral potential of a 6 km x 2 km, peak 86 ppb gold-in-calcrete geochemical anomaly at the Notrab prospect,...

The known Myall Creek stratabound copper occurrence located ~23 km north of Whyalla, which was discovered in 1975 by Australian Selection, consists of low-grade (0.3 to 2.2% Cu) Zambian Copperbelt or Kupferschiefer - style copper sulphides extending...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...
