Local sedimentary geology, resultant soil types and groundwater availability in the Clare Valley, which extends through the Mid-North region for 90-110 km north of Adelaide, are discussed in the context of suitability for vine-growing and quality wine...

The City of Tea Tree Gully is seeking to establish an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project at the Tea Tree Gully Golf Course, which is located approximately 20 km north-east of the city of Adelaide. The application of ASR would enable the golf...

During the early to mid-1980s, the SADME (SA Department of Mines and Energy) Engineering Division collaborated with CSIRO Soils Division to jointly sponsor a major geomechanics project, investigating metropolitan Adelaide’s problem soils and near...

At the request of architect Giles Walkley, a domestic residence located at 2 Belmore Terrace, Woodville, South Australia was examined for the purpose of determining what stone the house was constructed from, and if possible, the location of the quarry...

1:40,000 scale geological mapping and soil geochemical sampling performed in the vicinity of the Paratoo copper mine, 300 km north-east of Adelaide, demonstrated both structural and lithological controls to known mineralisation. Stored historic...

Small-scale chemical tracer tests were conducted at two sites in the Clare Valley (Wendouree Winery and Watervale Oval) to investigate the potential for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) of excess surface runoff water into fractured rock aquifers....

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 13/3/2002 from a survey...

Gravel and stream sediment bulk sampling carried out at 83 sites in the upper Onkaparinga River Valley area (1660 kg processed for heavy mineral analysis and kimberlite indicator mineral determinations) has given no encouragement to the local Adelaide...

Gold/copper exploration being undertaken north-west of Yunta has comprised rock chip geochemical sampling and BLEG stream sediment sampling. No significant gold anomalies were identified from the drainage bulk samples. High assay values of up to 8.8...

Burra Group metasedimentary argillite and quartzite beds outcropping 3 km north of Birdwood, which have been altered during a Tertiary deep weathering event, are excavated by the licensee to produce refractory and other industrial raw materials....

An area located on the edge of the ranges north-east of Burra, and centred 20 km east of Whyte Yarcowie, is being explored for possible primary orogenic gold associated with a prominent fold flexure in Adelaidean metasediments that is exposed in the...

As part of a renewed search for possible buried economic volcanogenic or epigenetic stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related hydrothermal alteration of Adelaidean...

EL 3972 Apoinga is located within the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, where bedrock comprises Proterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Fold Belt. The main prospect area within EL 3972 is the Tarnma Anticline, a N-S trending fold which is cored by Skillogalee...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style and structurally controlled gold with Adelaidean bedrock sediments in an area located south of Manna Hill township was conducted using low cost remote sensing, geochemical and geophysical methods. The...

An area centred ~40 km east of Peterborough in the vicinity of Mount Grainger Goldfield has continued to be explored for possible small diamondiferous kimberlite bodies and for buried economic stratabound, structurally controlled and disseminated...

Two separate areas situated at a distance to the north-west and north-east of Mount Grainger have been explored for possible sediment-hosted gold, after the licensee used research conducted by CODES at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) to identify...

An area centred ~15 km east of Eudunda, in the north-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, has been explored initially for possible economic outcropping stratabound/replacement style phosphate mineralisation that may have formed within Adelaidean dolomitic...
