Copper and gold mineralisation is commonly associated with accessory uranium, and so radon generated from the uranium's decay may provide a tool that is useful in exploration for this style of deposit. As part of an investigation into applying radon...

Significant rainfall events occurred in the central and eastern parts of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal Lands during the period October 1999 to April 2000. All the water wells at Amata and Pukatja showed clear evidence of groundwater recharge,...

Monitoring of pumping rates, water levels and rainfall at 30 producing water wells across 8 communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands, South Australia, has given better insight into water usage and aquifer performance. - Some communities are...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The Murray Basin in south-eastern Australia contains significant economic resources of heavy minerals (ilmenite, zircon, rutile) in coastal strandlines of a prograding sandplain that formed during marine regression in Late Miocene – Early Pliocene...

A series of microgravity surveys were conducted during February-March and April-May 2017, within the COOMPANA 1:250k map sheet area on the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia, prior to the commencement of the Geological Survey of South Australia...

A five-layer finite difference groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was developed for the Mallee Region to determine the impacts of irrigation on water levels and salinities. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions over the entire modelled...

On 22nd February 1952 the writer accompanied Messrs. Gild and England, Engineering and Water Supply Department, on an inspection of a proposed site for the erection of storage tanks in lieu of the original Summit tank proposal for the Mannum -...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

Water well sites were selected on eight homelands in the vicinity of Umuwa community and along a section of road (Fregon to Mimili) that was scheduled for upgrading. A total of thirteen wells were drilled at seven of the homelands, with at least one...

TARGET: Possible Irish Plains type carbonate-hosted base metals, and sylvite, hosted within the evaporite sequence of the Early Cambrian Observatory Hill Formation in the area immediately south of the Wilkinson Lakes. EXPLORATION: Two percussion...

A version of the CHIM electro-geochemical prospecting technique that has been developed at Guilin University, China, was trialled in South Australia during August 2007 in field surveys conducted at the Challenger gold mine, at the Tunkillia gold...

Hydrogeological data from approximately 60 recently drilled bores is presented, and the potential for finding supplies of drinking quality water in the Mount Eba Station area is discussed.

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...

The Adelaide Rift Complex, a sedimentary basin in South Australia, has a long history spanning over 300 million years from the Neoproterozoic to the Cambrian. Over 100 individual formations make up the basin fill, documenting its geologic evolution...

This Report Book contains a brief overview of the mineral prospectivity of the Nullarbor Regional Reserve and Nullarbor National Park and surrounds, which the Geological Survey of South Australia (Primary Industries and Resources South Australia)...

Numerical modelling of the hydrogeology in the area south of Mount Gambier was used to examine the potential of increasing the Permissible Annual Volumes of extraction for the unconfined aquifer, beyond the levels of assessed vertical recharge to the...

The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is a military testing range covering ~127,000 square km of the land surface of central South Australia. Underlying it are highly prospective rocks of the Gawler Craton, a major province of the earth's crust which...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...
