This report summarizes results of drilling to obtain water supplies for construction of the Eyre Highway, to the beginning of June, 1973. Drilling problems in the limestone have been encountered. Production from open trenches has been moderately...

Drilling and pump testing of selected bores along the Eyre Highway between Penong and Eucla was completed in August, 1973. Water supplies have now been established all along the route. This report contains final results of the survey. Geology and...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 200 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and 28 km...

As part of a continued search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, Pechiney conducted geological reconnaissance, ground...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 130 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and south of...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary cored holes totalling 189 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast just west of...

Three minor gravity anomalies, detected by a previous survey, have been tested by rotary percussion drilling. Small cavities were intersected in all holes, although only hole 6 (anomaly E) intersected cavities of the size predicted from the gravity...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...

Drill cores from four bores in the Western Australian portion of the Eucla Basin and two bores in the South Australian portion reveal a sequence of over 1200 feet of Cretaceous mudstones, sandstones and greensands overlain by a maximum of 900 feet of...
