53 individual gypsum deposits are catalogued and described.

Mollusca recovered by Vibrocore drilling in Holocene sediments of the Saint Kilda Formation in 9 shallow bays on the far west coast are identified and the extent to which they reflect the tidal to supratidal environments in which they were deposited...

Shallow drilling (<30 metres) at 14 sites intersected a regressive coastal sequence of Quaternary bioclastic sediments deposited in coastal aeolian, littoral, lagoonal and evaporative-lagoonal environments. Major calcrete carapaces assist the...

Human and animal footprints are preserved in 2 different settings near Clare Bay. Macropod tracks occur in laminated beach sediment of Late Pleistocene age (c. 110 000 year BP). They are preserved beneath a former prograding coastal fore-dune complex...

A 140 square km area located about 30 km south-west of Kimba was taken up to explore for economic gypsum mineralisation in Recent surficial sediments. After performing aerial photointerpretation to identify prospective landforms, field inspection...

An exploratory drilling programme (23 vertical rotary/NX diamond core holes for a total penetration of 487 feet 10 inches) was carried out during May-June 1969 on the surface of Lake MacDonnell, which covers an area of approximately 4.5 square miles....

Recent exploration by CSR for new rock gypsum deposits on Kangaroo Island which might contain material suitable for calcining to make plaster products has located several minor gypsum occurrences in low-lying areas on the eastern side of the island,...

Marketable quality gypsum was the major commodity sought in Recent salt lakes and marginal dunes of a large swamp in the Kyancutta area. Reconnaissance mapping, plus hand or power auger drill sampling of the near-surface sediments, has identified...

TARGET: Potentially commercial gypsum, salt or silica occurrences in Holocene paralic lakes and marginal dunes, in an area immediately north-east of Coffin Bay. EXPLORATION: Bulk sampling of lacustrine evaporitic sediments and related aeolian deposits...

New lithostratigraphic units are defined following regional surveys of the Gawler Block and Eucla Basin areas in South Australia. The new names have been cleared with the Central Register of Stratigraphic Nomenclature, Canberra, and the definitions...

A review of past SADM and company technical reports concerning surficial gypsum deposits delineated near Sceale Bay showed that the gypsum resource is substantial, with a historical total proven resource of 50 Mt of gypsum at an average grade of...

An area extending for 40 km to the west and south of Wudinna was taken up by Minotaur to evaluate the economic potential of known but poorly defined occurrences of the industrial minerals gypsum and alunite. The company's office-based compilation and...

This report was compiled as a draft document in 1997 by Senior Geologist Jeff Valentine, a former officer working in the then Mineral Resources Branch, Department of Mines and Energy, South Australia, and thereafter was put aside and disregarded by...

A final stage of gypsum exploration in the Lake Malata area, 70 km north-west of Port Lincoln, was carried out under mineral claims and retention leases which were cancelled in 1991. Drilling of 62 auger holes (total 258 m) proved a resource of 1.2 Mt...

Exploration for gypsum on the eastern Eyre Peninsula, 70 km west of Cowell, resulted in the establishment of mining operations at Terra Leen. Other potential gypsum sources were identified. No exploration for metals was undertaken.
