In June 1986 Cyprus Australia Coal Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large American coal producer and marketer then holding exploration licences over the Weedina coal deposit in the far north of South Australia, submitted to the South Australian...

This report sets out the results of a pre-feasibility study carried out for the Wintinna Coal Project in South Australia. Contained in it are a description of the facilities and preliminary cost estimates for the development of the project. The study...

This proposal being made to ETSA, for the supply of 1.3 Mt of thermal coal per year over 25 years for electrical power generation at the new Northern Power Station currently being built at Port Augusta, is intended to allow that utility to make an...

This report presents a description of the hydrogeology of the Wintinna coal deposit proposed mine site area, and of the investigative work performed to acquire specific data on aquifer properties and groundwater behaviour. Two production bores were...

An initial investigation programme aimed at obtaining hydraulic data from part of the Lake Phillipson Permian coal field been successfully completed. The initial area under consideration for mining is of approximately 130 hectares within the Western...

Lake Phillipson coal appears to be suitable for liquefaction, giving an 80% solvent-based conversion of dry, ash-free material to 61% coal extract and 19% gas, with the former product yielding 41% mineral oil upon distillation.

This report addresses processes and systems by which Lake Phillipson coal may be converted to fuel gases and liquids, sometimes with the simultaneous production of char. Published literature has been the source of all of the information. Aspects of...

Analyst's reports presenting the results of small scale test work conducted on selected drill core samples of coal taken from the 'S' and 'T' seams in the West Basin deposit of the Lake Phillipson coal measures.

During October 1977, a limited drilling programme was conducted on the Lake Phillipson coal deposits to provide cores of various seams in selected areas of the Main and West Basins. The results of analyses of these cores are considered in this report...

Consultant's report discusses the intrinsic and comparative nature of, plus possible causes for, the unique chemical composition of Lake Phillipson coal, when compared with coal from other low-rank Australian deposits such as Leigh Creek and the...

Exploration drilling by Utah Development Co. during 1973 and 1974 in the area covered by EL 125 has outlined at least 2,000 million tonnes of medium quality steaming coal, of a quality considered to be comparable to that for coal from ETSA's Leigh...

A review of existing information indicated the possibility of Permian sediments extending southwards beneath Mesozoic cover. During 1971-1972, the licensee completed 10 rotary drilling traverses across strike that covered the entire Phillipson...

An area centred about 80 km south-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible economic buried coal seams in Permian strata and for economic iron ore deposits or massive sulphide base metal mineralisation (copper, nickel) that may have formed...

A significant portion of the Arckaringa Basin acreage held by Meekatharra Minerals, that was subjected to greenfields coal exploration between 1980 and 1986, has now been relinquished. Relevant exploration work, for which the basic data is being...

In part of a regional coal exploration programme, 3 open rotary mud holes for a total of 380.3 m were drilled into the target Mount Toondina Formation, the third hole being geophysically logged through the Mesozoic and Permian sequences. All three...

TARGET: Native sulphur associated with possible salt dome structures, the locations of which were interpreted from past petroleum exploration seismic reflection surveys. EXPLORATION: A detailed gravity survey, and 2 rotary/core drillholes totalling...

TARGET: Economic sub-bituminous Permian coals in the Mount Toondina Formation, similar to those found by Getty in the Weedina Coal Deposit to the north. EXPLORATION: A review of existing seismic, gravity and magnetic data, aerial photograph...

TARGET: Diamondiferous kimberlites in the Boorthanna Trough region (near Nilpinna Springs). EXPLORATION: A literature review, the reprocessing and re-interpretation of data from BHP's 1983 Peake Creek Aerial Magnetic Survey flown by Aerodata /...
