Numerical modelling of the hydrogeology in the area south of Mount Gambier was used to examine the potential of increasing the Permissible Annual Volumes of extraction for the unconfined aquifer, beyond the levels of assessed vertical recharge to the...

The Lacepede-Kongorong Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is the largest in the South-East, extending from the Coorong to Port MacDonnell, and from the coast to the boundaries of the adjoining Padthaway, Naracoorte Ranges and Comaum-Caroline PWAs. It covers...

The Comaum-Caroline Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is 400 km SE of Adelaide, and covers about 1900 square km. It consists of a coastal plain which rises to almost 70 m above sea level in the north of the area. In the far NE the Kanawinka Fault separates...

In a rationalisation of its extensive exploration acreage formerly held in the upper South-east of South Australia for the purpose of coal exploration, Western Mining Corp. (WMC) has partially relinquished most of the ground that it previously held...

An area of outcropping Oligocene Gambier Limestone located 8 km west of Mount Gambier was investigated for its potential to supply high purity dolomite as a raw material used in glass manufacture. Licensee Unimin Australia is seeking to replace...

Investigation of several old abandoned limestone quarries in the Kongorong area, situated about 20 km south-west of Mount Gambier, was able to identify only one with uncontaminated, flint-free rock suitable for processing for agricultural or...

Includes ODNL completion report for Mount Salt Structure Holes 1 to 5, which were drilled to depths around 1000 feet in the Mount Salt area near Mount Gambier in order to demonstrate the persistence with depth of Quaternary and Tertiary regional dips...

The interpreted stratigraphic succession is as follows: 0-61 feet: terrestrial sands (Pleistocene-Recent); 61-180 feet: yellow-brown sands, clayey sands and grits (Loxton Sands, Upper Miocene); 180-195 feet: light grey-buff sands (? continental ?...

Monash 1 is located 30 km west of Renmark, and was drilled to a total depth of 1050 m. It penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin. Cuttings recovered from the hole interval below 1012 m depth extending...

A seismic survey conducted in 1961/62 for Beach Petroleum NL indicated a large structural high at basal Tertiary centred at Beachport. The southern culmination of this general high runs through the Geltwood Beach area, where beach strandings of...
