Field investigations were undertaken to provide preliminary geotechnical and hydrogeological parameters for the design of a new open pit coal mine at Mount Owen in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. This work was done in association with the Joint...

As part of the Government's South Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI), and in support of the South Australian Steel and Energy (SASE) Project, a small coal exploration program was initiated by MESA to investigate a number of subtle magnetic lows...

Mineral exploration on CHILDARA 1:250 000 geological map sheet was reviewed from SADME open file Envelopes, to complement an overview of regional prospectivity supported via the recent acquisition of high quality aeromagnetic data and a compilation by...

Exploration for economic coal seams within Tertiary sediments of the northern St Vincent Basin, south of the recognised Bowmans coal deposit, consisted only of a detailed review of previous Electricity Trust of South Australia exploration in the area...

A consultancy desk study of Jan.-Feb. 1986, as updated to 1992, for the proposed development of an underground longwall mine at the Westfield coal deposit. It assesses concepts of mining technical feasibility, establishes a preliminary mine plan, and...

A mine development and fuel technology applications study has been carried out on the Wintinna Coal Deposit to: 1. Determine the output tonnages of coal required for economic operation by opencut mining methods. 2. Compare the quality of Wintinna...

An area of 261 square km covering the Weedina coal deposit within the Arckaringa Basin has been retained by Cyprus Australia to protect the core of a very large buried Permian age sub-bituminous rank coal resource (~ 1200 Mt measured and indicated + ~...

In a search for possible economic Tertiary brown coal deposits buried in the northern half of the Walloway Basin, 4 reconnaissance holes spaced 5 km apart, with a total penetration of 773 m, were open rotary mud drilled and geophysically logged. The...

In June 1986 Cyprus Australia Coal Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large American coal producer and marketer then holding exploration licences over the Weedina coal deposit in the far north of South Australia, submitted to the South Australian...

This report sets out the results of a pre-feasibility study carried out for the Wintinna Coal Project in South Australia. Contained in it are a description of the facilities and preliminary cost estimates for the development of the project. The study...

This proposal being made to ETSA, for the supply of 1.3 Mt of thermal coal per year over 25 years for electrical power generation at the new Northern Power Station currently being built at Port Augusta, is intended to allow that utility to make an...

This report presents a description of the hydrogeology of the Wintinna coal deposit proposed mine site area, and of the investigative work performed to acquire specific data on aquifer properties and groundwater behaviour. Two production bores were...

Exploration for possible economic brown coal occurrences within inferred concealed northern extensions to known coal-bearing Triassic intramontane basins in the Leigh Creek district has consisted of the conduct of semi-detailed, 1 km x 500 m gravity...

EL 3623 is located 220 km south-east of Adelaide, and lies to the west of the township of Naracoorte. The tenement is also located ~35 km to the south-east of the much larger Kingston lignite deposit contained within the subject licencee's related EL...

An area of 304 square km was taken up by SAPEX to allow it to evaluate afresh known sub-bituminous coal measures in the Permian Mount Toondina Formation that constitute the Weedina coal deposit. This deposit, located ~90 km north-east of Coober Pedy,...

During the first few months of 1985, field investigations were undertaken at Leigh Creek by consultants Golder Associates to provide quantitative data on the strength and permeability characteristics of the geological profile of the Main Series coal...

Reconnaissance shallow stratigraphic drilling with subsequent borehole geophysical electric and radioactivity logging in the south-western Frome Embayment (21 rotary mud partly cored holes, total 8841 feet), over areas lying adjacent to outcropping...
