Following on from the conduct of both preliminary airborne and carborne radiometric surveys in an area 60 miles north of Penong, which disclosed numerous anomalies with potential for finding uranium occurrences, the locality was taken up and...

Exploration for possible economic trona deposits thought to have formed within Cainozoic near-surface sediments, in an area of thick lacustrine sedimentation located 80 km north of Marree, consisted only of a consultant's review of available...

Calcrete samples taken from various likely residential and industrial sites in South Australia were examined to determine features applicable to stratigraphic classification and to engineering geology requirements for construction planning.

Reprint from Australasian Oil and Gas Journal, July, 1961. Mesozoic-Tertiary basins are genetically related (associated with south tilt of continent and formation of modern continental shelf). Considers Saint Vincent, Murray, Gambier-Otway, Port...

TARGET: Heavy minerals in beach sands and dunes. EXPLORATION: Hand auger drilling, heavy mineral analysis and mineralogy. RESULTS: A number of zircon, rutile and kyanite - bearing sand lenses were identified within the beach facies, but they are...

A new programme of exploration for economic remaining copper mineralisation carried out at Blinman has included surface and underground examination of the old Blinman copper mine, visual inspection of all the recorded copper prospects in the diapir,...

Further exploration of a radiometrically anomalous basinal area situated about 100 km east of Lake Frome, which is considered to be associated with the western flank of a sizeable Tertiary palaeochannel, has comprised open hole rotary drilling and...

The heavy mineral placer deposits at Morrison Beach occur on four separate beach levels, as determined from scout boring along a number of traverses. Bulk sampling and heavy mineral analyses were used to calculate the quantities of rutile and of...

Mineral sands containing approximately 25% rutile in the heavy fraction were assessed for their geological extent and economic potential. The heavy mineral strandings occur over varying widths of up to 60 feet throughout the total length of Morrison...

A preliminary field geological examination of an area at Mount Harvey, located about 25 miles south-east of Oodnadatta, where a deposit of siliceous ?Tertiary claystone material occurs which it was hoped might be suitable for use as an absorbent, did...

Site investigations of part of the coastal area south of Whyalla were undertaken by BHP Minerals Div. as part of overall studies addressing the possibility of expanding their Whyalla Salt Works. Field inspections of the area behind Murninnie Beach...

In a search for possible economic thicknesses of salt beds and crust developed on Island Lagoon, six shallow push-tube core samples were obtained from deltaic lakebed sediments in the north-eastern arm where the Island Lagoon Creek debouches. A...

An area situated adjacent to the recently defined Andamooka Opalfield, and located about 20 miles north of Andamooka township centre, has been explored for possible economic occurrences of opal or base metals within Cretaceous and Precambrian strata...

A previously reported occurrence of anomalous molybdenum geochemical values to 150 ppm Mo, recorded from assays of concretionary limonite samples taken from the Lake Kitty claypan located near the southern coast of Kangaroo Island, was investigated by...

An area located west of southern Lake Torrens has been explored for possible stratabound base metal or other economic mineralisation. Because approximately 85% of the bedrock in the licence area is obscured by broad sand plains and dunes, the...
