The Arckaringa Basin, situated, in northern South Australia, is an intracratonic Permian basin, composed of deep marginal grabens or half grabens and a central area of shallow basement, the latter covered by only a thin sediment blanket. The...

Biostratigraphy of drill core and cuttings was erected for Mt Willoughby, and some biostratigraphy of the Lambina 1 was revised. Problems with contamination were encountered.

The SA Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a synthesis of the Arckaringa...

Stratigraphic well Muddy Tank 1 was drilled to sample fossiliferous late Jurassic clays. Consequently seen palynological evidence has firmly dated the Algebuckina Sandstone as very late Jurassic (ca. 144 to 141 Ma).

The Coober Pedy 1:250 000 sheet area (COOBER PEDY) is bounded by latitudes 29°S and 30°S and by longitudes 133°E and 135°E in the arid north of South Australia. The only town is the opal mining town of Coober Pedy on the northeastern margin of the...

This study has formulated a geotechnical and hydrogeological model of the Wintinna Coalfield which satisfies the following objectives: - to provide answers to the hydrogeological and geotechnical questions raised by Fluor in their mining study; - to...

An area located at the south-eastern end of the Lake Phillipson Trough in the Arckaringa Basin has been taken up primarily to investigate potential palaeochannels containing lignites or pyritic sands of both Permian and Mesozoic age, which it is...

As part of continuing diamond exploration on the subject five licences, more of the first pass sampling program was completed by Flinders Diamonds in August 2006 via aircore drilling of 47 vertical holes for an aggregate 1852 m aimed at penetrating to...

Tasman Resources' ("Tasman") Central Gawler Project tenement acreage, originally comprising seven exploration licences ELs 3339 to 3345, was initially applied for on the basis of perceived prospectivity for diamonds: however, following Tasman's...

3-D computer modelling of available drillhole data for coal seams present within the licence was undertaken as preparation for a possible mining feasibility study, and to identify targets for possible future drilling. The known full coal-bearing...

Within the now relinquished portions of the subject licences, as part of a regional search across several tenements in the Billa Kalina district for possible kimberlites or diamonds, Flinders Mines carried out scout exploratory drilling in two...

The Robin Rise exploration licence, centred approximately 35 km south-southwest of Coober Pedy, covers portions of the Palaeoproterozoic basement domain known as the Coober Pedy Ridge, an east-northeast trending magnetic block of variable magnetic...

3-D computer modelling of available drillhole data for coal seams present within the licence was undertaken as preparation for a possible mining feasibility study, and to identify targets for possible future drilling. The known full coal-bearing...

An area centred ~85 km south-southeast of Coober Pedy, at the southern margin of the Lake Phillipson Trough, a long active tectonic feature now occupied by deep sedimentary fill, was taken up by a wholly-owned subsidiary to Monax Mining Ltd primarily...

On 27/3/1995, following a competitive bidding process, South Australian Coal Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Meekatharra Minerals Limited, was granted EL 2069 covering the Phillipson Coalfield located ~60 km south-west of Coober Pedy. The...

Appraisal drilling of the previously defined south-eastern portion of the Wintinna Coal Deposit was undertaken by the licensee to try to better determine in situ resources of Permian sub-bituminous coal which might potentially be useable for coal seam...

An area located approximately 35 km west and south-west of Anna Creek Homestead, straddling the Coober Pedy - William Creek Road, was taken up to explore for possible buried diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions that could be the source(s) of the...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

The central Gawler Craton is blanketed by thin sedimentary cover that ranges in age from Neoproterozoic to Quaternary. Locally, though, such cover can reach a maximum of ~500 m thickness in Permian glacial valleys or rift structures. This guide...
