Two deposits comprising gently dipping dolomitic sediments of the Skillogalee Dolomite were located during reconnaissance for construction materials for the Crystal Brook bypass. The southern deposit, 4 km northeast of Crystal Brook, was subsequently...

Evaluates economic potential of all stratigraphic units and recommends modification of Extractive Industry Zone. Contains 115 million tonnes of construction sand predominantly in North Maslin Sand Member and widespread weathered bedrock brick shale....

Drilling has indicated reserves of 166 000 tonnes of white plastic clay and 35 000 tonnes of discoloured plastic clay and inferred reserves of 150 000 tonnes, overlain by 0.9 million tonnes of sand, mostly suitable for fill, but some for concrete or...

Includes a discussion about probable processes of mobilisation and recrystallisation of the dolomitic sediments, and describes the evidence found for the presence of a pyroclastic component in many of the non-carbonate sedimentary rock samples.

Thirty five quarries and pits produced 99% of the 5.6 million tonnes of construction materials produced in Metropolitan Adelaide in 1981.A systematic review of these operations provides a concise summary of major extractive industry in Adelaide, and...

Weathered shale within the Adelaidean Stonyfell Quartzite has produced in excess of 80 000 tonnes for brick manufacture from 1958 to 1978. Auger drilling of 7 holes (52 metres) and mapping, indicate reserves of 180 000 tonnes of weathered shale.

Reconnaissance clay sampling and 30 holes have outlined areas of weathered silty shale and greywacke suitable for use in the manufacture of low alkali cement clinker.

69 holes (max depth of 10.5 metres) outlined 7.5 sq km of weathered lower Woolshed Flat Shale suitable for bricks. Thickest development is under and marginal to outliers of Tertiary sands suitable only as fill. Also Quaternary red clay is suitable as...

Report prepared by Terrain Analysis in 1981, proposed depth limits and final surface contours for sand and clay mining operations at Golden Grove. Quality and quantity of available reserves are decreased, and further drilling is required to...

42 rock specimens collected from the open cut at Burra were examined in order to comment on a report received from a consulting organisation. Despite a high degree of alteration evident in the samples, it was possible to distinguish microscopically,...

Quarry is being considered as potential waste disposal site. Indicated reserves of 1.1 million tonnes of sand and 117 000 tonnes of white semi plastic shale and clay overlie 3.86 million tonnes of brick shale.

Auger drilling has proved reserves of 630 000 tonnes of washed sand, 450 000 tonnes of cream shale and 730 000 tonnes of coloured shale.

51 holes were drilled to assess weathered shale and plastic clay reserves. Tertiary plastic clay and clayey sand overlie red firing weathered Adelaidean shale, and extends eastwards under Hancock Road into Clay and Mineral Sales pit (formerly...

Quartzites and sandstones in the Stonyfell Quartzite formation of the Adelaide System are quarried by the Readymix Group (S.A.) at Riverview quarry, 14 km north-east of Adelaide. Inferred geological reserves above the level of the nearby River Torrens...

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...

Adelaidean (late Precambrian) sequences in the Kimberley Region, Western Australia, contain undisputed evidence of glaciation. In the East and West Kimberleys, only a single major glacial epoch is represented, but in the MOUNT RAMSAY area, there are...

Since 1962, recorded production from Steetley's barite deposit, which forms part of Linke's lode, has totalled 6,237 tonnes. The deposit is in a Class B Environmental Area within the Flinders Ranges National Park. The steep barite lode has formed in...

This report summarises the main consumers, reserves, production and probable life of current mines and identifies potential alternative sources. Shale reserves in the currently worked pits are sufficient for 50 years, white plastic clay at Golden...
