The Upper South-East Dryland Salinity and Flood Management Plan proposals aim to address the worsening salinisation problems now clearly visible in the area. This report provides feasibility and preliminary project design data to the EWS engineers who...

Since the 1989 Newcastle earthquake event, a number of studies on earthquakes have been carried out in South Australia. This report brings together most of these studies, focussing on the probability of ground shaking in Adelaide (hazard), and the...

Mines and Energy South Australia are currently investigating the geometry and ore grades of banded iron formation deposits within the Gawler Craton near Coober Pedy, for possible use in the production of pig iron. Core samples from five diamond cored...

A Highways Department quarry on the southern bank of the Onkaparinga Gorge was operated intermittently between 1962 and 1973, producing mainly 32 mm screened crushed rock. The quarry is situated on the crest of a southerly plunging anticline in...

Field investigations were undertaken to provide preliminary geotechnical and hydrogeological parameters for the design of a new open pit coal mine at Mount Owen in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. This work was done in association with the Joint...

The Willunga Basin is a groundwater resource being stressed by groundwater abstraction for agricultural purposes. The Southern Vales Water Resources Committee, in conjunction with MESA, DENR and SA WATER, are developing groundwater management...

The lineament mapping methods used by E.S.T. (Tim) O'Driscoll, which were a crucial factor in the discovery of Olympic Dam, the world's largest known Cu-U-Au-Ag deposit, and of several other lesser Australian metallic orebodies, have now been applied...

The maximum horizontal stress is oriented approximately east-west in the Nappamerri Trough area. The overburden stress gradient is approximately 1.0 psi/ft in the Cooper Basin sequence of the Trough. The minimum horizontal stress gradient in the...

A consultancy desk study of Jan.-Feb. 1986, as updated to 1992, for the proposed development of an underground longwall mine at the Westfield coal deposit. It assesses concepts of mining technical feasibility, establishes a preliminary mine plan, and...

A mine development and fuel technology applications study has been carried out on the Wintinna Coal Deposit to: 1. Determine the output tonnages of coal required for economic operation by opencut mining methods. 2. Compare the quality of Wintinna...

Activity on these deposits has consisted of one phase of trial mining of 600 cubic m of the best quality part of the Warnes deposit, stockpiling of the extracted gypsum-rich lakebed sediments, chemical analysis of 39 bulked samples of this stockpile...

In June 1986 Cyprus Australia Coal Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large American coal producer and marketer then holding exploration licences over the Weedina coal deposit in the far north of South Australia, submitted to the South Australian...

Field investigations including drilling and soil gas sampling, carried out as part of a subsurface hazard assessment for a parcel of land at Saint Agnes, did not indicate any significant risks to an intended building development.

This proposal being made to ETSA, for the supply of 1.3 Mt of thermal coal per year over 25 years for electrical power generation at the new Northern Power Station currently being built at Port Augusta, is intended to allow that utility to make an...

This report presents a description of the hydrogeology of the Wintinna coal deposit proposed mine site area, and of the investigative work performed to acquire specific data on aquifer properties and groundwater behaviour. Two production bores were...

The disturbed soil profiles at 29 historic light to heavy industrial sites in the city of Hindmarsh were investigated to determine their respective levels of hazard contamination and suitability after rehabilitation for undergoing residential...

Exploration of an area located on western Eyre Peninsula between Sheringa and Mount Hope is continuing, with the intent of discovering economic buried base and precious metal deposits of volcanogenic sediment-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style...

During the 2006 reporting period for renewed Mount Woods EL 3518 (i.e. for licence Year 6), Goldstream conducted ongoing exploration that included campaigns of diamond, RC, RAB and AC drilling, plus, in relation to the possible iron ore / copper-gold...

During the first year of renewed EL 4167, in October and November 2008, Stellar Resources Ltd ("Stellar") completed a 5 hole, 1286.9 m RC and 2 hole, 157.1 m diamond cored inclined drilling programme at the Coolybring prospect which is located...
