TARGET: Possible commercial oil shale beds in either the Cretaceous Madura Formation or the Cambrian Observatory Hill Formation; possible Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc deposits within the Observatory Hill Formation; economic lignite seams...

TARGET: Oil shale in the Madura Formation and to a lesser extent, the Observatory Hill Formation. RESULTS: 2 drill holes intersected Madura Formation, 1 also intersecting Observatory Hill Formation, and gave very low oil yields.

Possible shallowly buried, surface-mineable coal formed within the Lower Permian Mount Toondina Formation, and similar to the coal occurring in the Phillipson Trough area, was the target of exploration carried out in the poorly defined Tallaringa...

TARGET: Base metal sulphides associated with evaporitic carbonates of the Cambrian Observatory Hill Formation, and sodium carbonate evaporite minerals (i.e. trona, natrite, etc.) in lacustrine sediments. EXPLORATION: Analysis of available drill core...

The subject EL areas are located adjacent to the Woomera Defence Area reserve, 800 km north-west of Adelaide. Exploration targeted stratiform base metal mineralisation of the sedimentary - exhalative or sabkha type, based on the McArthur River model,...

Two areas located approximately 45-55 km west of Ooldea were explored for possible buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits in poorly known Archaean to Early Proterozoic basement beneath the Eucla and Officer Basin sedimentary sequences. A...

A series of lithostratigraphic interpretations of outcrop and drillhole sections (for SADME and Comalco holes) have been drawn up to assist in the production of a satisfactory palaeogeographic and stratigraphic model of the Officer Basin. 3...

Bedrock outcrops were mapped at 61 sites spread over 7550 square km of the Great Victoria Desert, including many that had previously been geologically mis-interpreted, or had never before been visited. The sedimentary depositional environment of the...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

This document presents an integration and summary of all new data, and a consolidation of current concepts and ideas on the geological and structural history, sedimentary features and petroleum potential of the Officer Basin in South Australia. Many...

Shallow Precambrian crystalline basement underlies the greater part of the BARTON 1:250 000 map area. Thicker Neoproterozoic, Cambrian and Carboniferous Permian sediments occur in the northwest, with the southern margin bounded by the Karari Fault...

The Marla Group and its units are defined, including redefinition of Mount Johns Conglomerate and Trainor Hill Sandstone. Recurrent tectonic rejuvenation of highlands in the north, during the Cambrian - Ordovician, led to deposition of fluvial...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...
