As part of uranium exploration being carried out over the oldest basement rocks forming inliers to the Adelaide Geosyncline within the southern Mount Lofty Ranges, an airborne scintiilometer survey was flown across the Houghton Inlier during December...

Dataset contains Amdel - derived mineralogical and petrological data on the ore and host rocks, plus the mine operator's reports on its plans to resume and optimize production of the unique ore types known to exist in four current mine pits and their...

TARGET: Kaolin-mica-damourite mineralization within the Barossa Complex, south of Warren Reservoir. EXPLORATION: Shallow auger drilling (25 holes totalling 139 metres), geological mapping and mineralogy.

Exploration for possible Precambrian hydrothermal vein style or unconformity type uranium deposits and for any other economic metalliferous minerals was carried out over a small inlier of Early Proterozoic rocks that partially outcrops between...

TARGET: Possible epigenetic vein-hosted gold and mercury in the Mount Compass area. EXPLORATION: Geological field reconnaissance; 16 underground and surface rock chip grab samples were collected at abandoned old workings and along surface traverses....

More than 275 selected rock chip samples of Precambrian basement or near-basement igneous lithologies were described in detail petrographically and, if they were found to contain suitable minerals, then analysed using radiometric methods, the aim...

Exploration for possible Precambrian hydrothermal vein-style or unconformity type uranium deposits, and for any other economic metalliferous minerals, was carried out over several small inliers of Palaeoproterozoic rocks that crop out poorly through...

A private prospector's discovery of highly radioactive alteration minerals at a locality 2.5 miles west-southwest of Myponga township, in residual soils overlying deeply weathered Archaean quartz-mica schists on an elevated spur, was inspected on...

The eastern Gawler Craton is the location of the Olympic Cu-Au Province, a world-class metallogenic province known for iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena (Skirrow et al., 2007;...

During the period reported, underground excavation of an inclined heading was commenced on the No. 1 lode, and 64 wagon (percussion) drill holes and three diamond drill holes were completed, with two diamond holes still in progress. A ground...

Petrographic study of a selection of rocks taken from major horizons recognised at the Myponga uranium prospect has allowed discrimination of a confusing suite of rocks into several intelligible groups on which future field mapping may be based. It is...

During the period reported, test excavations were started on both the No. 1 and the No. 2 lodes, and two diamond drill holes totalling 156 feet 9 inches, one vertical, one inclined, were completed during February 1954, with another in progress. A...

In a letter dated 8th November, 1972, the State Planning Office asked the Department of Mines to report on the suitability of the land for residential purpose for a proposed subdivision at Fern Hill, Crafers, has been inspected with respect to...

The seismic refraction technique was used over a land slip occuring on the Gorge Road near Kangaroo Creek Dam in an attempt to outline zones of weakness and to determine depth to bedrock. No serious zones of weakness were detected within the bedrock...

The Lady Edith and Lady Alice gold mines are located north of Adelaide in the Hundred of Para Wirra, and are situated within the Para Wirra Goldfield. The mines were worked intermittently for gold and copper between 1871 and 1904. Total gold...
