As a result of a gravity survey in the North Adelaide Plains the Para Fault was traced from Grand Junction Road to north of Gawler. In addition the presence of two other faults to the west of the main Para Fault seems likely, giving rise to an en...

Aeromagnetic anomalies mapped at Mount Woods and to the south were investigated for their iron ore potential by conducting a low-level aeromagnetic survey and by performing a geological reconnaissance and acquiring ground magnetic and gravity data....

A reconnaissance seismic refraction survey was carried out in the South Australian portion of the Eucla Basin, to determine the general shape of the basin and to assess the feasibility of using seismic methods in the area. Some of the refractors...

The project followed a logical appraisal, from conducting high level aeromagnetics through low level aeromagnetics, ground geophysics, drilling and shaft sinking, to metallurgical testing. All geophysical methods used divide the anomaly into three...

During January 1965 a seismic refraction survey and a detailed gravity survey were carried out by SADM for Australian Development NL at Mount Compass, over an aeromagnetic anomaly covered by an earlier ground magnetic survey. A drilling site has been...

Copper carbonates are sporadically distributed throughout steeply dipping mica schist in a zone up to about 70 ft. wide. The host rocks have been regarded as overturned metamorphosed Burra Group (Torrensian) beds resting on the Aldgate Sandstone...

Mount Toondina lies near to the centre of the Arckaringa Basin, herein redefined somewhat provisionally, on seismic evidence, as a significantly thicker development of Upper Palaeozoic sediments. The Mount Toondina Beds are herein formally described....

During March 1965 a combined refraction seismic and gravity survey was carried out on behalf of Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd by the SADM seismic party. The primary aim of the survey was to assess a probable sedimentary trough located in PEL...

Supplementary gravimeter traverses have been run over the strong Bungalow aeromagnetic anomaly to further define it. Earlier in the year a percussion drilling programme was carried out over the same area. In the light of both sets of results it is...

Gravity anomalies on a sand covered plain south of Cooyerdoo Hill have been found to be higher than those over adjacent areas of outcropping haematite-Quartzite. Available density information is confusing, and a short programme of drilling is...

A geophysical survey was carried out by the writer at Yalpara on the recommendation of A.R. Crawford (Geologist - Engineering and Mineral Resources Section). A base line running magnetic north and south (3000 feet long) was laid out by the writer and...

Almost six weeks were spent with the Far North-West party at Granite Downs Station in conducting magnetic and gravity traverses. Work was curtailed before sufficient results could be obtained for an accurate picture of subsurface structure. Gravity...

A survey with gravity meter and vertical force variometer has been carried out on two aeromagnetic anomalies to the west of the Katunga Hills. The area is covered with sand and alluvium and results obtained indicate the anomalies to be due to varying...

In an area of limited basement outcrop located between 2 and 5 miles north-northwest of Iron Knob township, the Department's surface traverse channel sampling (969'), percussion boring (643’) and diamond drilling (1270’) tested a low grade...

The results of gravity and magnetic surveys over Prospect No. 5 display trends which can be interpreted in more than one way. From results of previous drilling, a number of small gravity anomalies appear to be associated with iron ore, which a larger...

An uncompleted gravity survey over Prospect No. 6 suggests that there may be an association between the gravity anomalies and a massive limonite orebody. Further gravity work is recommended to enable greater confidence in interpretation.

Vertical magnetometer and gravity meter traverses have been run over anomalies disclosed by aeromagnetic survey near Port Neill on Eyre Peninsula. The presence of a large quantity of magnetic rock, denser than the surrounding rocks and thus a possible...
