The middle Palaeoproterozoic rocks (2000-1800 Ma) on southern Yorke Peninsula are part of the Cleve Subdomain in the eastern Gawler Craton, which is separated from the younger Moonta Subdomain by the Warooka Fault Zone. The rocks contain a group of...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

Komatiitic greenstones were first recognised in South Australia from drillcore at Lake Harris on the Gawler Craton by Mines and Energy SA personnel in 1991. Subsequent petrography and detailed aeromagnetic data interpretation led to targeted drilling...

Following on from the highly successful Gawler Craton - State of Play 2002 conference held by PIRSA in Adelaide in December 2002, the Gawler Craton Team of PIRSA's Geological Survey Branch has recently undertaken a major excursion across the craton....

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...

The Niton Corp. XL-700 series portable XRF analyser was trialed by members of the Musgrave Team, PIRSA Geological Survey Branch, to determine its viability for use in the field by DME and exploration company personnel. Analyses of soil (250 micron...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

The purpose of the project is to provide essential data on the hardrock extractive (construction material) resources supplying the Adelaide metropolitan area, in order to be able to: - Critically examine current hardrock supplies and resources and how...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

The Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. Whilst most of the Province is obscured by younger sedimentary cover, regions of exposure are present in the northwest as the Mount...

Open file company exploration information, released since the previous exploration review (McCallum, 1998) on the CURNAMONA 1:250,000 mapsheet area [note: this scale of mapsheet has its name conventionally written in capitals], is reviewed in this...

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

In his two month - long technical secondment from PIRSA to Canadian major nickel explorer and producer Inco Ltd, the mode of genesis of the Reid Brook Zone of the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper mineralised magmatic system was analysed by the author using...

This report contains summaries of categorised relevant GIS data types, i.e. in the geology, regolith, geochemistry, geophysics, spectral, topographic, land tenure and cultural categories, for all datasets which have been located to date. It includes...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

The Peake and Denison Inliers (comprising the Davenport Range, Denison Range and small basement inliers to the east) form the dominant geological structure on WARRINA. The Inliers include outcrops of Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic basement which is...
