Results of two diamond drill holes, a seismic survey and one cable tool hole, indicate that this valley site is suitable for an arch dam, or a mass concrete or rockfill dam. A grout curtain will be necesary. A glacial channel on the right abutment...

Brief geological information is given for points to be visited over eight days as illustration of the Adelaide System in South Australia, with an emphasis on Adelaidean glacigene rocks. The Callanna Beds are seen in the Arkaroola region, the Aldgate...

Geological mapping shows that the catchment consists of two roughly equal areas. One comprises Cambrian arkose overlain by Permian glacial sands, and the other is composed of Cambrian phyllite and greywacke with thin slopewash cover. Salinity...

A town water supply bore with a safe yield of 3.8 litres/ second (3000 gallons/hour) was completed in an inhomogeneous aquifer consisting of fluvioglacial sediments with an average transmissivity of 2.75 m3/day/m. The interval screened is from 107 to...

Iron ore exploration undertaken within two small licence subareas centred 60 km south of Yunta, in the vicinity of the outcropping Razorback Ridge banded iron formation of Sturtian age, was directed at assessing the economic potential of the...

A small, north-western part of a licence located immediately south of Olary township has recently been relinquished due to it having perceived minimal iron ore potential. The only work undertaken on the relinquished ground was the acquisition along...

A very small area centred ~70 km south-east of Olary, and lying immediately west of the SA / NSW border and on the northern edge of the Murray Basin, has been explored for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences within concealed...

The banded iron formations associated with various tillite in South Australia have been recognised as being potential sources for iron however the low-grade nature of these bands has been one of the limiting factors in why they have not been...

Reconnaissance ground magnetic and IP surveys, undertaken by a China-based entrant explorer to investigate interpreted fault lineaments which contain minor surface showings of copper mineralisation in an abandoned working located north-west of...

Diamond exploration undertaken within the southern of two adjoining licence areas taken up along part of the western flank of the Peake and Denison Ranges, that is centred ~100 km south-east of Oodnadatta, was aimed at discovering the source(s) of...

An area centred ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for buried mineral sands placer deposits that may have formed within the Cainozoic Murray Basin sedimentary cover, as well as for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences that...

A small licence area located on the northern margin of the Murray Basin, approximately 70 km north-east of Burra and about 40 km south of the previously studied Razorback Ridge banded iron formation magnetite deposit, has been explored for possible...

Australia is a continent with no great' mountain ranges or permanent snow and hence no glaciers. Though glacial scenery is to be found in Tasmania, the closest existing glaciers are those in the south island of New Zealand. The absence of ice fields...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

The rolling hills, wheat paddocks and vineyards of the Mid-North region of South Australia conceal a geological transition between the Adelaide Hills and the Flinders Ranges. Here the landscape is subtly controlled by the Neoproterozoic bedrock...

Despite good rainfall, the groundwater resources on Kangaroo Island are limited, with localised good quality groundwater available only in small supplies. Just over 75% of all wells drilled on the island have a salinity of over 2000 mg/L, with 95% of...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...
