In recognition of the centenary of Henry Yorke Lyell Brown's appointment as the first Government Geologist for South Australia, and the foundation of the Department of Mines and Energy, aspects of South Australia's colourful and vital mining and...

The geology of South Australia represents over 150 years of geological investigations in South Australia. It is designed to provide the reader with a comprehensive regional account of the products of sedimentation, deformation, metamorphism and...

To assist the State Planning Office "examine and assess the future development of a defined area in the Mid-North of the State in anticipation of the area being declared a planning area under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act,...

Low grade, nickel bearing, weathered ultrabasic rocks that form a part of the Giles Complex in the North-West Province of South Australia were first discovered by a SA Mines Department field party in 1953. Since their discovery the weathered rocks,...

Three forms of stromatolites mineralogically composed of hydromagnesite and aragonite occur in two ephemeral lakes near the Coorong Lagoon. None occur in the Lagoon or other lakes. The three forms are stratiform, globular and crenulate. Each is built...

Magnesite has been produced at a continuous steady rate principally for F.H. Faulding & Co. Ltd., chemical manufacturers in Adelaide. Small tonnages have been mined for refractory purposes by the Broken Hill Pty. Co. Ltd. from deposits at...

'Industrial minerals' are those minerals or assemblages of minerals which are economically important because of their physical or chemical properties, rather than their metal or energy content. The term is synonymous with 'non-metallic minerals', and...

This study reports on a project to establish a magnesium oxide derivatives business in South Australia, by exploiting a resource of sedimentary magnesite held by Commercial Minerals Ltd (a member of the Normandy Poseidon Group of companies). Aspects...

The only exploration field work completed by JV operator Perilya on the relinquished subareas of the tenement was a review made during 2008 of the magnesite potential of the licence, along with that of EL 3111 (now EL 4211) located adjacent to the...

A number of shallow Neogene salt lakes, that extend in chain-like fashion along the length of the inner Coorong and its hinterland as far south as Lacepede Bay, have been investigated for possible economic evaporitic mineral deposits that may have...

A search primarily directed at assessing the stratiform copper and magnesite potential of an area centred 50 km south-west of Marree has consisted mainly of office studies comprising the collection and review of open file geoscientific data. Early in...

EL 4729, which extends along the Mount Norwest Range located west-northwest of Leigh Creek for a distance of 50 to 75 km from there, and surrounds the location of the historic large Witchelina magnesite deposit, is being explored for possible other...

An area of the southern Flinders Ranges extending from Crystal Brook northwards to the Mount Remarkable Range has been explored for possible economic stratabound magnesite occurrences that may outcrop within Adelaidean metasediments. The known...

61% of a subsequent licence area located in the southern Willouran Ranges has been surrendered due to its perceived diminished prospectivity for buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation and inferred MVT, replacement or...

Two adjoining areas located west-northwest of Leigh Creek are being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock...
