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...

Proterozoic basement outcrops consist of syn and post- Kimban Orogeny granitoids, volcanics and basic dykes. Their rock type geochronology, field relationships and regional correlation are reported. Previous economic mineral investigations, plus...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

Between 8 August and 6 October 2021, six inclined, rotary mud precollared diamond cored holes (21WDDH001 to 006) totalling 1560.6 m were drilled at the Weednanna gold and iron deposit located ~40 km north of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula, as part...

In South Australia the abundance of stone suitable for building, and the comparative lack of easily worked local timber, at a very early date determined the choice of building material, so that the use of stone is very general throughout the State....

The South East Province of South Australia is divisible into two zones, namely, the Gambier Sunk lands and the Padthaway "buried" horst. Tertiary over mass sediments in the sunk lands attain a maximum thickness of more than 7000 feet and overlie an...

The late Palaeoproterozoic Wallaroo Group is interpreted to have been deposited during a major rift event in the south-eastern Gawler Craton during ~1770-1740 Ma. On Yorke Peninsula the group contains three lithological units, viz. Wandearah...

Detailed airborne magnetic survey data which have recently been acquired over the southern Eyre Peninsula reveal a sequence of north-south, magnetically contrasting tectonic domains, separated by major north-south to northeast-southwest aligned shear...

In 2017, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in partnership with Geoscience Australia, undertook a regional drilling program in the far west of South Australia: the Coompana Drilling Project. The project sought to obtain geological information...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

Fifty-eight shallow aircore holes totalling 2140.5 m were drilled by PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group in the Ceduna area during November 1999 to as part of a programme designed to assist regional mapping and geological interpretation of the CHILDARA...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

Eighty-five sites of crystalline basement rocks on the Gawler Craton were inspected to determine which lithological or stratigraphical units have potential for use as dimension stone. The Gawler Craton contains a variety of rock types including...

The Gawler Range Volcanics are an extensive series of subaerial felsic lavas and ignimbrites, which crop out on the central Gawler Craton. Twenty seven sites within the southern Gawler Range Volcanics were inspected to determine their potential to...
