The south-eastern Lake Frome Embayment in the vicinity of Quinyambie Station was explored for Upper and Lower Tertiary 'blanket' or 'roll front' type sedimentary uranium, via the drilling of 75 open vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration...

153 rotary mud open holes (total 19,689 m) and 11 cored holes (total 1384 m) have been drilled during the reporting period to evaluate the Goulds Dam uranium deposit and to further explore the region to its north and south for sedimentary uranium...

Detailed base and precious metals exploration undertaken by Utah Development Company in the area of the Worumba Anticline has targeted possible stratiform Zambian Copperbelt - type deposits. Exploratory work has included 72 geochemical vertical...

The following Tertiary units were identified : Kongorong Fm, Narrawaturk Fm, Buccleuch Fm, Ettrick Fm, Mannum Fm, Kalibar Limestone, Parilla Sand and North West Bend Fm. All of these units are separated by unconformities. Erosional surfaces,...

WMC's Stuart Shelf exploration activities from 1975 to 1985 have sought mainly Olympic Dam style mineralisation (copper - uranium - precious metals in haematitic breccia host rocks), with lesser emphasis directed at: possible distal analogues of the...

The South Australian part of the Cooper Basin had been under licence continuously since 1954, however on 27 February 1999 Petroleum Exploration Licences (PELs) 5&6 expired. The former PEL 5&6 area is being released in four bidding rounds over...

The Copper King orebody, located approximately 10 miles north-northeast of Beltana township, is a massive deposit of iron carbonate, the upper portion of which has been altered by oxidation and hydration to oxides of iron. The deposit was worked...

For at least the past forty years the flint deposits occurring on the lower south east coast of South Australia have been worked to supply a comparatively limited Australian demand for flint pebbles as a grinding medium in the mining and paint...

Good quality water with a salinity of below 500 grains per gallon is required for the washing of gypsum, a minimum supply of 1,500 gallons per hour being needed. In the Salt Lake District supplies of probably not more than 100 to 200 gallons per hour...

Australia imports annually approximately 2000 tons of red iron oxide which is used as a pigment in the paint, rubber, linolem and building industries. Previous laboratory testwork on an iron ore from Malcolm Creek had shown that a hematite flotation...

At the request of the South Australian Department of Mines a survey of current Australian usage of mineral fillers and pigments was made. The survey was intended to determine the consumptions and specifications typical of various industries and to...

Very tight folding and remobilization of the Sturtian Holowilena Ironstone has produced a massive ironstone blow and small lenses of micaceous haematite. The haematitic quartz rock is not suitable for pigments, and lenses of haematite of pigment...

Mines are significant as Wheal Gawler was the first metalliferous mine in Australia, discovered 1840, produced the first mineral exports, and includes the oldest remaining mine chimney in South Australia.

Seven wells were drilled in the Oak Valley area. One well drilled at the airstrip yielded 3 L/s of 74 000 mg/L water, a quality that is only suitable to use for compaction. Three wells drilled close to swamps located west of Oak Valley gave low yields...
