Two potential evaporation sites have been delineated within 20 km south and southwest of Waikerie following the drilling of 31 shallow rotary holes. A further two sites were outlined between Cadell and Waikerie as a result of an inspection of...

Reconnaissance sampling and exploratory drrilling have been undertaken to locate suitable brickmaking clay for the proposed city of Monarto. Samples from exposures and boreholes in Quaternary and Tertiary sediments and in weathered bedrock have been...

Drilling of 25 cable tool holes to depth up to 20.1m in the designated area for Monarto New Town illustrates the nature, distribution and thickness of Quaternay and Tertiary sediments. The main tertiary units are the marine fossiliferous limestone of...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

102 vertical open RC holes (total penetration 3699 m) were drilled along traverses laid out over an area extending 40-50 km north to north-west of Pinnaroo, targeting possible south-eastwards extensions to the Mindarie and Mercunda heavy mineral (HM)...

Nine rotary mud open holes with a total penetration of 499.3 m were drilled, chip sampled and geophysically logged in a search for Moorlands - type coal in Eocene Renmark Beds to the south-east of Murray Bridge. Although the target horizon was...
