In a continuation of diamond and base metal exploration of newly discovered carbonatite / kimberlite intrusive bodies in an area located immediately north of Orroroo, these bodies were examined petrographically and analysed to compare their...

A representative selection of rock types obtained in the cores of the DDH1 and DDH2 iron ore exploration holes was made with a view to studying the mineralogy, the lithology and any microstructures of interest present in the formations intersected. A...

Sediments in the area consist of blue dolomitic flaggy and laminated slates and grits, and are equated with the Sturtian Series of the Adelaide System. Copper lodes occur parallel to the beds, which dip between 50-70°W. During the period March to July...

Forty-two thin sections collected from the Skillogalee Dolomite are representative of carbonate and non-carbonate facies, and include shales, siltstones, sandstones and conglomerates. Many of the specimens are partly or wholly stromatolitic: two...

Byilkaoora 1, a stratigraphic well drilled in the northeastern part of the Officer Basin in South Australia, intersected aeolian and fluvial sandstones and mudstones overlying 224 m of fine-grained, dolomitic, calcareous and argillaceous sediments...

Reassessment of age frequency of published and unpublished radiocarbon dates from the Strzelecki Desert and Lake Frome - Lake Callabonna region in northeastern South Australia has delineated some Late Pleistocene climatic events. These include...

In a search for possible Voiseys Bay style magmatic nickel-copper mineralisation within an area of historical small scale surface mining activity located approximately 60-70 km north-east of Leigh Creek, the licensee conducted a brief campaign of...

High-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralisation formed within the Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation (THF) was historically mined 100 years ago at Yerelina in the northern Flinders Ranges. Despite the existence of numerous poorly documented small-scale...

Drilling of 39 exploration and appraisal/development wells to investigate potential oil reservoirs within the Lake Hope Block has resulted in the recovery of economic hydrocarbons from 26 of those wells, and has identified 7 reservoir units throughout...

This report reviews the available information on the region, and presents a preliminary appraisal of the data supplied by South-western Mining Co. Ltd. Current field and laboratory information has also been included. New geological and geochemical...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

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 2015, 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...

Metallurgical and beneficiation tests carried out on samples from the Ethiudna wollastonite deposit, located 60 km north-west of Olary, have indicated that a treated primary ore concentrate containing 76% wollastonite can be produced at a recovery of...
