The Late Palaeozoic Cooper Basin is a major source of hydrocarbons and is especially important in providing the natural gas needs of much of south-eastern Australia. The basin is now a mature petroleum province, with more than 1200 wells drilled and...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

During January and April 1966, 10,611 feet of reconnaissance and infill percussion drilling plus 300 feet of auger drilling were carried out on SML 96, around the former Main Open Cut and Lagoon workings of the historic Mount Gunson copper mine, with...

As a B.Sc. Honours project with the Geology Department of the University of Adelaide, which was sponsored by the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy, the author during 1978 carried out geological mapping of a nearly 400 square km area...

The Groundwater (Border Agreement) Act of 1985 provides the legislative framework for the joint management of the groundwater resources along the South Australia/Victoria State border. The Act established a 40 km wide Designated Area along the...

Diamond and gold exploration undertaken on the two relinquished ground portions located north-west and east of Venus Bay on Eyre Peninsula, which total 530 square km in area, have comprised heavy mineral sampling, heavy mineral grain microprobing,...

The state of water resources in the Mount Lofty Ranges has been the subject of discussion for at least 10 years. As early as 1989, it was suggested that controls were necessary to restrict the development of specific activities where it could be...

Exploration, initially looking for rare metal elements within beryl, tantalite and ilmenorutile suite mineral occurrences, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric breccia structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village...

Details of the environment of the proposed mining area are set out in this report. The active impact zone will have an area of approximately 130 ha and is the area on which there will be construction, excavation, stockpiles, waste dumps, living...

The Marne River is a main tributary catchment for the River Murray, which generates ephemeral flows in wet years. Concerns have been expressed at the construction of large dams in the headwaters of the catchment, about their impacts on streamflow,...

Interpretation of magnetic and gravity data, together with calcrete and MMI sampling, were carried out adjacent to a southerly extension of the Ediacara Fault, 25 km north-west of Parachilna. Low order Pb-Zn-Ag anomalism was located, coincident with...

High base metal values, particularly for zinc, that resulted from the sampling of pits and costeans at Eukaby Hill, led North to a close examination of the unremarkable calcareous siltstone host rock to find the cause of suspected syngenetic...

As follow-up to a programme of uranium exploration lately carried out in its adjoining EL 63, Tricentrol chose to drill an additional area of prospective Tertiary Murray Basin sediments present in the vicinity of the Anabama Fault zone, to further its...

Reports describe the various Cambrian biostratigraphic horizons encountered in the bore, making comparisons and correlations with the Cambrian elsewhere in the Adelaide Geosyncline, particularly at Mount Scott Range, Sellicks Hill, Curramulka, The...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 13/3/2002 from a survey...

This report is the first in a series of coastal bitumen fieldwork studies being carried out in South Australia over the duration of one year by the Organic Geochemistry Unit, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Adelaide and the South...

Background: Leaching of copper has been improved in many instances by the inclusion of bacteria in the leaching solution. If such a system could be applied to extracting copper from the many mine dumps of low grade ore that exist in South Australia,...

Detailed geological mapping at the Parabarana Cu prospect, and between Parabarana and the Gunsight Cu/U prospect of North Flinders Mines Ltd in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, has been completed.A major ENE trending fault, the...
