Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...

The Boomerang gold prospect is located 650 km north-west of Adelaide in undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks incorporated within Archaean Harris Greenstone Belt mafic lithologies of the Gawler Craton. The prospect was originally discovered using...

This project reviewed literature in order to: - evaluate any downhole environmental risks associated with drilling fluids and completion practices in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins; and - assess the effectiveness of cementing practices in achieving...

A report scoping the possible environmental impacts of future seismic operations in the Otway Basin of the South-East of South Australia has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Act 2000. This document provides information...

Palynological analyses of seven cutting samples from several drillholes in the eastern Eucla Basin, South Australia, indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus spore-pollen zone. Open...

Within Australia, dryland salinity has been recognised to be an important issue which presents unique challenges to land managers, policy makers and regulators. It currently affects 326 000 ha of land in South Australia (in addition to 84 000 ha of...

The Government of South Australia is currently reviewing the future of the Coongie Lakes Control Zone (CLCZ), and the options relating to petroleum operations which may, or may not, be undertaken in the area. This options paper summarises, for the...

Abstracts to PAPERS: - Baker, A.K.M. - Metal geochemistry of regolith in the Mount Lofty Ranges and associated alluvial fans on the Adelaide Plains. - Belperio, A.P. and Freeman, H. - Exploration using gold and base metal pathfinders in calcareous...

Geochemical soil samples were taken along two traverses over shear-hosted gold mineralisation in Area '223' at the Tunkillia gold prospect, located 550 km north-west of Adelaide. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of near-surface soil...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The Abminga bedrock drilling program was initiated in 1999 as part of the Targeted Exploration Initiative of South Australia (TEISA) strategy conceived by the SA Government and implemented through PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group. Drilling was proposed...

Our knowledge of geochemical dispersion of gold and gold pathfinders in the Gawler Craton (South Australia) is poor since there have been very few published research or orientation studies. In this study conducted at the Birthday gold prospect, the...

Prospecting of the lease areas has been restricted to surface examination of the locations of previously noted geophysical (magnetic, electrical resistivity) and geochemical (soil sampling) anomalies. One of four old caved-in prospecting shafts found...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...

The Peltabinna 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

During a seven-day period in March 2014, with funding drawn from the South Australian Government's PACE Frontiers mineral prospectivity promotion programme, a pioneer regional biogeochemical survey was conducted by the authors within the hitherto...

A program of soil and stream sediment sampling was conducted along the Dawesley - Bremer Catchment to determine the extent and magnitude of potential heavy metal contamination downstream from the Brukunga Pyrite Mine. Arsenic, cadmium, copper and zinc...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...
