The West Burra copper deposit, which lies in hilly country 3.5 miles west-southwest of Burra, was discovered in January 1913 and worked as a single 40-acre mining claim until that claim was cancelled on 18/2/1919. Information about the mine has been...

Australia imports annually approximately 2000 tons of red iron oxide which is used as a pigment in the paint, rubber, linolem and building industries. Previous laboratory testwork on an iron ore from Malcolm Creek had shown that a hematite flotation...

Following aerial and ground geophysics and detailed geological mapping reconnaissance drilling at five potential ore zones has indicated 8.7M tons with a maximum possibility of 17.8M tons/100 vertical feet assaying 25% Fe or better. Preliminary tests...

The major structure is thought to be a north plunging syncline, the east limb of which has been folded into lesser anticlines and synclines. North plunging anticlines are though to flank this syncline. Grade of jaspilite in the syncline could...

Small deposits of manganite and pyrolusite occur within oolitic Etina limestone (Marinoan) on opposite limbs of a syncline south of Artipena Hill. The ore was probably found under oxidising conditions by secondary concentration of colloidal solution...

The subject of this report is the result of the differential thermal analysis of certain carbonate, sulphide, and clay minerals. The project had two principal aims - firstly, to establish a reference file of differential thermal traces to facilitate...

Following geological mapping of a keel structure in iron formation and a gravity survey, two diamond drill holes tested the west limb and the core of the structure. The first (D.D.2) penetrated 2 ft. 6 in. of haematite in a leached zone adjacent to a...

Originally confined to the Cornish Copper line, the geophysical investigation was extended to cover the Tarcoola Blocks, Afghan Camp and also Brown Hill areas of workings. Resistivity contours supply some information as to the structure in the areas...

Investigations have shown that in the Sir Joseph Banks Group, molybdenite and scheelite are confined to the southern tip of Spilsby Island. The minerals occur in thin irregular veins, in masses of quartz, and as disseminations scattered through...

Drilling results confirm the general synclinal structure. The jaspilite complex appears to be too low grade, too deeply weathered and too narrow to be of immediate economic interest. The western flank and main synclinal axis need more exploration for...

Mapping of the Wooltana Volcanic Belt in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia has shown that 2000 feet of Willouran trachytic lavas, with minor andesites and rhyolites, outcrop along the southern margin of the Mount Painter complex and...

At least 90% of the phosphate was leached with either nitric, hydrochloric or sulphuric acids. Products unsuitable for the surface preparation of steel. The most promising outlet would be for upgrading the P2O5 content of super phosphate fertilizer.

Deposits of limestone at Mount Gambier have for some time attracted attention as a possible source of lime. The limestone is a soft polyzoal material which can be readily mined and is also of high purity, containing about 97 per cent CaCO3, so that...

The Mount Crawford region, which has produced all marketed mica in South Australia, is the area with the greatest potential. Detailed mapping is recommended along the northern boundary of the forest plantation to outline the mica-rich zones. Suitable...
