Following investigations at Oliver's phosphate workings, Sections 65 and 66, Hd. Willunga (Callen, 1968), it was decided to map Wait's workings on Section 40, Hd. Noarlunga and those on Section 48 at the same stratigraphic horizon. Reconnaissance...

Large sedimentary phosphorate deposits are unlikely to be found in the Cambrian on Fleurieu Peninsula or the southern part of Yorke Peninsula. Further exploration of the phosphatic Brighton Limestone and Saddleworth Formation type of facies should be...

A programme of stratigraphic section measurement is envisaged in order to facilitate rock correlation and help outline the pattern of sedimentation in the Adelaide Geosyncline. In many areas measurement may be made on air photo enlargement, as has...

A deposit of bedded phosphate rock occurs in a siltstone unit 40-50 feet thick within an essentially calcareous sequence 25 miles south of Adelaide. Approximately 8,000 tons of phosphate rock were removed in the period 1907 to 1930. There are possible...

The Brighton Limestone was mapped. The best areas for quarrying are within the limits mapped.

Despite the palaeoecological emphasis of most recent stromatolite research outside the USSR, controversy still exists regarding the environmental restriction of these organosedimentary structures and in some cases, analogies with modern occurrences...

Phosphatized oolitic limestone and sandstone occur within arenaceous carbonates at the top of the Tapley Hill Formation, at or near the Brighton Limestone contact on the Fleurieu Peninsula and in similar stratigraphic, sedimentary setting between...

Stratigraphic sections were measured in the Brighton Limestone and part of the upper transitional beds of the Tapley Hill Formation in quarries and natural outcrops at Brighton, Hallett Cove, Reynella, Noarlunga, Myponga, Orroroo and Tarcowie. Flat...

A bore for the irrigation of grasses for a proposed 9 hole golf course was completed using the rotary method to a depth of 98m in Brighton Limestone. Well discharge and aquifer tests indicated an average value of Transmissivity (T) of 1347.0m3/day/m....

Ten contiguous exploration licences in the Jamestown - Peterborough - Quorn region are being explored for possible economic diamonds associated with inferred buried kimberlite intrusions. Prior work done in the 1960s by Stockdale Exploration (a de...

The Adelaide Hills Project consists of 3419 square km of land covered by eight contiguous exploration licences, ELs 3057, 3064, 3141, 3215, 3239, 3277, 3425 and 3534, which are owned by or joint ventured to Flinders Diamonds Limited (FDL). By an...

South Australia Ludi Mining Pty Ltd (“SALM”) acquired Exploration Licence 4619 “Coward Springs” to explore for large Mesoproterozoic copper/gold/uranium deposits analogous to Olympic Dam, which is located approximately 120 km to the south. The licence...

The northern quarter of a small licence area centred approximately 20 km south-east of Port Augusta has been relinquished due to its perceived diminished prospectivity for structurally controlled epigenetic copper mineralisation related to the Mount...

A programme of bedrock diamond drilling has been completed by the SA Department of Mines at the locations of the proposed storage dam abutments and foundation at Lower Dam Site no. 2 on the Myponga River. The logs of the drill cores are presented, and...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

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 Carrapateena mineral discovery was the outcome of a PACE Initiative drilling project co-funded by RMG Services Pty Ltd and the Government of South Australia. Two holes were drilled, the second of which (CAR002) encountered a major body of...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

Concerted exploration for possible stratiform Mount Gunson type or epithermal Olympic Dam type base metal deposits, on the south-eastern edge of the Stuart Shelf near Port Pirie, was begun by North Broken Hill Ltd in response to the public release by...
