Forty two rock specimens, mostly surface material, from fairly widely separated areas of the Officer Basin have been examined for fossil evidence of age. Almost all of the samples are unfossiliferous sandstones having no direct indication of their...

A site investigation has been carried out for the proposed redevelopment of Port Augusta Hospital. Exploration of the site has included examination of surface exposures and the construction of 5 drill holes totalling 250ft. Structures can be built on...

An investigation has been carried out at a possible site for the proposed Northern Power Station. Its purpose has been to provide data for an Environmental Impact Statement. The work has involved geological mapping with drilling and sampling, seismic...

From July 1973 to February 1975, a reconnaissance stream sediment sampling survey was undertaken on the western half of the Cambrai 1 :63, 360 sheet (Figure 1) which is the Cambrai 1;50 000 geological sheet area, and covers the Cambrai A and Cambrai C...

Titan prospect is located within Exploration Licence 3209, and lies 30 km north of the Olympic Dam mine. The prospect was first drilled by Western Mining Corp. in 1976 with diamond drillhole BD 1, and in 1981 with a second hole, BD 2. Both holes hit...

The western half of EL 3432, which now lies within the continuously restricted access Red Zone of the Woomera Prohibited Area, has been relinquished at expiry of term, acting upon advice received from DMITRE. During its 5-year tenure period the...

An area of the Stuart Shelf located between Pernatty Lagoon and the Beda Arm of Lake Torrens, with its western boundary lying 15 km east of the historic Mount Gunson copper mining field, is being explored for possible economic basement-hosted IOCG...

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 Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

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...

A new high-resolution resistivity measurement instrument, developed by ZZ Resistivity Imaging Pty Ltd, was tested within the Andamooka Precious Stones Field, located 640 km by road north of Adelaide, to determine its suitability for assisting in opal...

Ground magnetic, ground gravity and electrical geophysical surveys were carried out during base metal exploration of SAEI-identified structural and aeromagnetic anomalies located along the northern margin of Lake Gairdner, searching for epithermal...

Interpretation of existing geophysical and drillhole data, including core chip re-assaying and petrography, was carried out for four areas located approximately 60 km north-west of Woomera. Interpreted geophysical features of the basement are...

No work performed. Relinquished portions of the licence were considered to have low potential for economically viable Olympic Dam and Tunkillia style copper mineralisation, a conclusion based on the outcome of literature research, reconnaisance field...

TARGET: Cattlegrid type copper deposits and Olympic Dam type copper-gold-uranium mineralisation. EXPLORATION: Ground magnetic, IP, gravity, SIROTEM, CSAMT, and seismic reflection surveys, photogeological and lithogeochemical studies, reprocessing of...

South Australia's famous desert opalfields supply about 80% of the world output of precious opal, with current production coming almost entirely from the major fields at Andamooka, Coober Pedy and Mintabie, each of which is expected to increase output...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...
