The routes for a proposed Freeway and associated minor roads have been investigated to assess the nature of the materials which will be met in cuttings. In particular it has been required to delineate the portions which can be excavated by dozing or...

Some months ago discussions with the Deputy Director and Chief Geologist stimulated a personal investigation of radio activity logging as a means of obtaining porosity and permeability data from sediments of the North Adelaide Plains basin. Subsequent...

A ground scintillometer survey was carried out over a Davidite prospect in section 328, Hundred of Jutland. Two small areas of anomalous radioactivity were noted. It is not considered likely that these occurrences are of economic significance but a...

Two sharp anomalies were registered by the Auster aircraft scintillometer during routine flying checks near Outer Harbor, Adelaide, South Australia. This report follows a recommendation by the Chief Geologist to investigate the anomalous...

The results of a radiometric survey undertaken at Bonyton Hill, 4 miles north north east of Radium Hill, in the search for uranium bearing ore bodies.

The flying of portions of the Olary Province in light aircraft at low levels occupied a total of 368 hours flying time. On the Glenorchy sheet area 35 anomalies were detected; in the Plumbago area 45 anomalies; in the Kalabity area 9 anomalies; and in...

This report describes in detail the operation of a new ratemeter and variable voltage E.H.T. power supply. The equipment has been designed and constructed at Parkside Laboratories.

This report describes the procedure to be adopted in the logging and evaluation of radiometric borehole log results. The grade of uranium ore surrounding a borehole may be estimated from the gamma ray intensity log with an error of less than 10%. The...

In an area of limited basement outcrop located between 2 and 5 miles north-northwest of Iron Knob township, the Department's surface traverse channel sampling (969'), percussion boring (643’) and diamond drilling (1270’) tested a low grade...

Several anomalous radioactive areas were located and uranium mineralisation shown to be associated with two of them. These areas require investigation at depth to determine whether or not they contain economic deposits of uranium.

A ground radiation survey is being conducted by the writer in the Radium Hill area over an area bounded north and south by the grid lines 8000N and 2000N, and east and west by the grid lines 3000E and 4000W. So far about 5/7ths of the proposed area...

Detailed radiometric and geological surveys of a uranium occurrence 1 mile east of Radium Hill show that subsurface testing is not warranted at present. Further recommendations will be made when the proposed programme of detailed mapping at Radium...

All of the available data on the South Hill lode system are presented, and the probability of finding a major ore shoot is discussed. It is believed that large scale testing of this area is warranted, and an appropriate programme consisting of...
