Report presents the results of eight weeks (August-September 1977) spent in the licence area under application, measuring and describing nine stratigraphic sections, with the aim of examining possible sedimentary controls on the known widespread...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...

3 sets of fault trends are distinguished, representing the Arrowie fault zone and components of the Mount John, Mount Roebuck and Narina fault zones. Small mineral deposits consist of phosphate, barite and copper.

The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

New stratigraphic units which include the Ediacara fauna are defined and described in section measured in Bunyeroo Gorge.

Seven holes drilled to a maximum depth of 195 ft. (59 m) tested part of the Mt. John Paralana Fault zone for mercury. No anomalous concentrations of mercury were detected. Three holes tested the Parachilna Formation west of the Moro Mine. Anomalous...

This is a new name applied to a Late Precambrian sequence of red and white sandstone which is found in the North West Province of South Australia. It is equated to the Pound Quartzite of the Adelaide Geosyncline on both lithological and fossil evidence.

Investigations on general groundwater potential of the Hawker area were carried out with special attention being paid to the Hookina Creek, Worro Downs - Wonoka Creek, Glen Oak - Willow Creek, Mount Craig areas. An improved supply of water for the...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

Surveys recently conducted in England, Ireland and Australia have shown that there are major spatial variations in the 'light' [molecular weight] hydrocarbon gas content of rocks which are closely related to the presence of underlying mineralisation....

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Examination of an historically worked occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, has involved intensive geochemical sampling of abandoned mine adits, old dumps,...

Continuing prospect exploration work at the Beltana zinc orebody discovery has consisted of detailed geological mapping at 1:4 800 scale, rock chip sampling of outcropping Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments, field investigation of microgravity...

Stream sediment sampling, conducted by Kennecott as follow-up to a 1966 regional surface geochemical reconnaissance programme looking for stratabound Mississippi Valley - type base metal deposits in the central Flinders Ranges, has located a small...

This report summarises, in categoric fashion, all of the various exploratory and mine development activities carried out over the past four years on the broader Puttapa area exploration licence (as renewed), and within the mineral claims taken out...

Geological mapping and the interpretation of drillhole data from the vicinity of the recently defined Southern orebody extension at Beltana (including 4 new diamond holes totalling 1600 feet) has enabled the licensee to formulate likely parameters of...

Zinc silicate (willemite) mineralisation occurs in a host rock of Lower Cambrian Ajax Limestone, which represents part of a sequence of Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian sediments that rests unconformably on folded lower Adelaidean Willouran siltstones...

Exploration for Beltana - type stratabound, hydrothermal related base metal deposits in an area situated south-west of Copley consisted of regional, ground and helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:4800 scale, photointerpretation of structural...

Ongoing base metal exploration to look for further analogues to the Beltana willemite discovery, carried out over an area located east of the Puttapa Rail Siding, has consisted of semi-detailed 1:4800 scale geological mapping and geochemical stream...
