The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

The Burra mine 3D model was constructed using a georeferenced version of the original hand-drafted base map, which included elevation data points surveyed during the final phase of mining. These elevation locations and associated height data were...

The SADME 1980-1981 Burra mine field mapping project was undertaken at short notice, in order to collect unique geological data and location survey information from the lower benches of the then actively worked open pit mine, before the newly exposed...

Criteria for assessing the restoration of decommissioned petroleum well sites in the Cooper Basin, South Australia, have been chosen in conformation with two guiding environmental objectives, namely, the degree of success in establishing long-term...

The GOMA basement drilling program was named after the Gawler-Officer-Musgrave-Amadeus deep seismic reflection survey line, that was completed in 2008 by Geoscience Australia (GA) as part of its Onshore Energy Security Program. Funding for the seismic...

Early during licence Year 13, two separate portions of EL 4935 together totalling 46 square km or 83.6% of the licence's former area have been relinquished due to the chance of discovery there of gold and base metals by a small, self-funded explorer...

A small licence area centred ~70 km east of Marla has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried sedex style base metal deposits or IOCG style mineralisation which may exist there, hosted by largely unknown Proterozoic basement rocks,...
