56 whole rock major and trace element geochemical analyses of Adelaidean and Cambrian sedimentary rock drill core samples recovered from 6 diamond drillholes are presented. Many of the samples are carbonate - rich, and their lithologies include...

Sampling was aimed at determining influence of copper mineralization on groundwater geochemistry. Although carbonate rich host rock and mine dewatering have minimized any heavy metal dispersion halo, a sulphate dispersion halo is centred over the...

112 wells (13380 metres) were drilled to search for fractured rock aquifers and 14 of these were completed as production wells. At Windy Creek wells were drilled in quartzite and weathered pellet conglomerate aquifers, capable of supplying all of...

The Skillogalee Dolomite is a 3 700 metre thick repetitive siliciclastic stromatolitic dolomite intraclastic magnesite succession deposited in rapidly fluctuating shallow marine, paralic and arid playa environments.27 samples from the Willouran Ranges...

The Worumba Anticline is a regional fold in the gradational zone between the Olary Arc and the broader folding of the central Flinders Ranges. The limbs of the anticline comprise complete upper Adelaidean successions, of which the Holowilena...

Reconnaissance and regional mapping (Spry, 1952; Dalgarno and Johnson, 1966; Binks, 1968) have demonstrated a series of outcrops of Skillogalee Dolomite (Burra Group) on the west limb of the Worumba Anticline (about 20 km east of Hawker), between...

Two deposits comprising gently dipping dolomitic sediments of the Skillogalee Dolomite formation were located during a reconnaissance for construction materials for the Crystal Brook bypass. The southern deposit near Crystal Brook was subsequently...

The oldest rocks on WARRINA outcrop in the Peake and Denison Inliers, which comprise the Davenport and Denison Ranges and small inliers to the east. Basement in this area consists of Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks which were intruded by...

A fundamental question remains to be answered in the Clare Valley. How much water can be safely extracted without causing depletion of the groundwater resources? This question is being addressed by a major investigation into the groundwater...

Phase Two of a drilling program at Clare, South Australia was undertaken in June, 1997. A total of 6 bores were drilled, 4 of these at existing locations established during Phase One drilling in January, 1996, and a further 2 at Watervale Oval as...

Major resources of magnesite are included as sedimentary interbeds within Late Proterozoic Skillogalee Dolomite which extends the length of the Geosyncline for 820 km. Magnesite interbeds are best developed from Leigh Creek to the Willouran Ranges,...

12 sections were measured through the Skillogalee Dolomite, and partly into adjacent Burra Group and Umberatana Group. Skillogalee Dolomite thickness varies from 827 metres in the East Willouran Ranges to 3921 metres near Mt Norwest. Very rapid...

266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...

Bedded deposits of magnesite known to exist within the southern Flinders Ranges, where they outcrop over a considerable strike distance extent in the country approximately 20 km east of Port Pirie, were identified by Magnesium Developments Limited...

Magnesite beds formed within the Late Proterozoic Skillogalee Dolomite were the targets of exploration in the southern Flinders Ranges, 15 km east of Port Pirie. Field mapping and sampling, together with the acquisition and image processing of an...

Outcrop and drill core samples of magnesite-rich strata obtained from the Myrtle Springs and Witchelina deposits were examined petrographically to characterise the mode of occurrence and sedimentary history of the contained magnesitic material. A...

Known magnesite beds existing within the Adelaidean Skillogalee Dolomite in the far north-western Flinders Ranges, and extending into the Willouran Ranges over a strike distance of 120 km heading north-westwards from Leigh Creek South township, have...

The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

A multi-licence project area centred on the historic abandoned Burra copper mine is being explored for possible economic, buried Burra type copper oxide and copper carbonate mineralisation that may have formed within Neoproterozoic metasedimentary...

During 2007-2008, the first year of the diamond exploration joint venture with the Filsell brothers in the Paratoo area, Flinders Mines' activities comprised: • acquiring part of a detailed helicopter-borne infill aerial magnetic ('helimag') survey,...
