Known occurrences of fluorite have been examined for a source of low grade fluorite - quartz ore for chemical manufacture at Port Adelaide. No suitable deposits were found. Further enquiries of a possible source from the Broken Hill Lodes is suggested.

Rocks in the Flinders and Hutchinson groups are exposed sporadically around the coast of Eyre Peninsula. Reported occurrences of molybdenite and scheelite in these rock types were investigated. No significant rare metal minerals were found in the...

Irregular oxidised orebodies up to about 3 feet thick, containing copper carbonates, quartz, sphaerocobaltite (cobalt carbonate) and wad (hydrated manganese oxide), occupy both shear zones aligned parallel with bedding, and crush zones developed...

In the Sir Joseph Banks Group of southern Spencer Gulf offshore islands, outcropping Archaean arenaceous, arkosic and calcareous sedimentary rocks appear to have been folded and granitised prior to the deposition of the Adelaidean System sedimentary...

The Uley Graphite deposit is situated in Hundred Uley, Section 2AE2, about fourteen miles by road from Port Lincoln. Since 1866 over 700 tons of graphite have been mined and treated at Uley, the bulk of the production being in the period 1940-1950....

A zone of limonite and heamatite outcrops 4 miles long has been located on the lower southwestern slopes of the Northern Middleback Ranges. Detailed mapping, drilling and Costeaning have been commenced by the Department to evaluate the area. The area...

Two diamond drillholes, designed to test at depths from 70 to 100 feet the most favorable outcrops of cobalt-nickel mineralisation, failed to intersect extensions of the lode. Secondary erythrite mineralisation found along bedding seams, joints, and...

A request was made to the director of Mines by Mr. F.J. Ashmead for a geologist to inspect his registered scheelite claim No. 1990 located near the landmark, "Woman in White". This assistance he believed would help to guide his exploration work. A...

Small amounts of copper carbonate, which were mined on a small scale in 1890, occur in Adelaide System slates, 25 miles north south east of Radium Hill and 4 miles south south west of Mutooroo Homestead. No payable concentrations of copper were found...

This report covers the period from 4th September, 1956 to 19th November, 1956. During this time the author visited Atomic Energy and other establishments in the United Kingdom and made a brief visit to several ceramics firms in Germany. For...

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...

During the period May 27th - June 21st, 1958, the writer visited Western Australia and by courtesy of the Geological Survey of Western Australia and the Commonwealth Bureau of Mineral Resources was guided to a number of the most important manganese...

An electromagnetic (EM) survey was carried out in the vicinity of the inactive Uley graphite mine in an effort to detect possible extensions of the known graphitic lodes with a view to developing additional open cut areas. Several zones of anomalous...
