This report presents detailed industry-derived statistics on the State's output and sales values of earth resource commodities realised during the six month period ended 30 June 2009, and compares the data with that returned for the previous six...

HyLogging systems, and the PIMA and ASD field spectrometers (Terraspec, Labspec and Fieldspec), are a generation of analysis instruments which provide rapid and cost effective data on sample mineralogy and on mineral characteristics. Spectral...

Exploration in an area around the historic Prince Alfred mine consisted mainly of detailed geological mapping and compilation of data derived from comprehensive literature searches, together with processing and interpretation of available geophysical...

No anomalous metal values were returned from reconnaissance stream sediment and rock chip sampling carried out over an area 20 to 30 km east to south-east of Hawker, although one sample showed 43.8% MgO content. More detailed geochemical sampling is...

Push tube sampling of lakebed sediments was carried out in two separate salt lake areas at the northern and southern extremities of a large dolomitic magnesite deposit located south-east of Salt Creek, adjacent to the Coorong. The northern area lake...

A partly defined magnesite resource thought to be of the order of 579 million tonnes in size, consisting of a series of semi-continuously outcropping magnesite beds ranging in thickness from 0.5 m to 9.0 m, is situated within the northern Flinders...

A 10 km long saline swampy area bordering The Coorong on the landward side of the Princes Highway, between Salt Creek and Chinaman Wells, has been explored for possible large tonnage deposits of dolomite lime that are suitable for agricultural and...

Continuing exploration of the geochemically anomalous (35-210 ppm Ni) Lower Proterozoic basement rocks previously identified by Kennecott at Blackfellow Hill has consisted of first laying out a 10,000' x 7200' prospect grid, before conducting soil...

A study has been made on the feasibility of using magnesite ore mined from BHP leases in the Port Germein Gorge to produce up to 50 tons per day of high grade magnesia (MgO) using the Bicarbonate Process (ref. US Bureau of Mines, 1946) at the...

A prospecting survey of the area immediately surrounding Balcanoona Homestead and further westwards to the faulted margin of the Loch Ness Diapir failed to disclose any significant outcropping base metal mineralisation.

Seven talc occurrences containing an estimated 63,000 in situ tons of potentially commercial grade talc have been discovered in the area between Billy Springs and Mount Livingston. Further prospecting of the host dolomite outcrop, and shallow...

Following a geological survey of the area held under Special Mining Lease 58 by Industrial Rock Mines Pty Ltd in the Mount Fitton area, a detailed reconnaissance of all mineralisation was undertaken by two company prospectors during the period March...

Over the past three years crystalline magnesite has been found in the Mount Fitton area in many places, in a 12 miles long belt which follows the lower edge of a dolomite mass of Late Proterozoic age. The Mount Livingston deposit with indicated...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

This report presents detailed industry-derived statistics on the State's output and sales values of earth resource commodities realised during the six month period ended 31 December 2010, and compares the data with that returned for the previous six...
