In a search for East Alligator River - type metamorphic uranium deposits, a review of previous geophysical data plus the conduct of ground and airborne radiometric surveys disclosed a number of anomalies in an area on central Eyre Peninsula extending...

Report on radiometric prospecting on EL 867 Very low uranium anomalism is associated with the Katunga Dolomite; no Middle Proterozoic overburden is located within EL 867. The anomalous alkaline syntectonic granites are of deep origin and faulting and...

Fourteen stratigraphic holes were drilled in the eastern portion of the Frome Embayment in NSW.

Investigations included drilling in the eastern part of EL 41, costeaning and close space drilling near Nob Well and Apollonaris anomaly, water well sampling, and ground search for carnotite.

The exploration concept was based on searching for secondary uranium mineralisation that might be derived from the Musgrave Block basement rocks and that could have become precipitated within calcrete horizons from ponded uraniferous surface drainage...

Beneficiation of a bulk sample of monazite ore taken from Monazite Hill, from an orebody containing in excess of 5 million tons of ore with a monazite content of 5-6%, yielded poor results.

Radioactive material from near the old Mt. Jagged Iron Mine was submitted by Mr H.J. Button, Adelaide Road, Myponga. Analysis of the sample indicated that the radioactivity was primarily due to minerals in the thorium series and that the uranium...

Three occurrences of anomalous radioactivity detected by BHP within Palaeoproterozoic metasediments on the eastern side of the Iron Prince open pit iron mine were inspected at the company's request, to try to determine the source of radiation. The...

This handbook has been compiled by officers of the Geological Survey of South Australia for the guidance of and assistance to persons interested in the search for uranium in South Australia. Acknowledgment is due to Bruce P. Webb, Geologist of the...

A sample, G185/54, which contained 0.66% Th02 was submitted from the above locality by Mr. A.F. Wenham of Mt. Compass. An inspection of the locality has since been carried out.

Following the submission by Mr. L. Hutchinson of Myponga, of two samples G68/54 and G178/54 containing 0.36% and 0.66% Th02 respectively, from the above localities an inspection has been carried out.

Ore dressing investigations have shown that the branerite/absite fractions of Crocker Well ore can be concentrated with reasonable recovery by flotation (G.D. Sheridan, R.D.-80, 1958). Although the separation from the acid consuming mica minerals was...

This report deals with the recovery of thorium from sulphate solutions by means of solvent extraction. Detailed results of extraction with di-EHPA, stripping of di-EHPA solutions, and precipitation of thorium from strip solutions are presented, and...

A separation of the lanthanons was obtained by hydrolysing the unwanted liquor constituents from the oxidized barren liquor at approximately pH 4. However, this procedure was impracticable owing to the costs involved and the fact that little or no...

Applicability of radiometrics and the portable gamma ray spectrometer was tested over parts of the southern Gawler Craton. Use of total count and separate counts for potassium, uranium and thorium helped to distinguish lithologies e.g. to locate...

Granodiorite core recovered from Moomba 72 has enabled recent recognition of an altered zone at the top of pre-Permian 'basement'. This altered zone has been previously misinterpreted as Early Permian Tirrawarra Sandstone. Consequently, the depth...
