A detailed account of the large scale copper mining and processing operations occurring in the 'Copper Triangle' region of South Australia in the few years following the end of the First World War. The included metrics and pictorial coverage of many...

250 samples of sand recovered from a 1997 SA Government glass-making sand exploration programme undertaken in the Mount Compass area of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges were subjected to [grain] size analysis determinations. The samples were derived...

During 1970/71, two large explosions set off at the Ord River Dam building site in Western Australia were recorded on 2000 km long land-based shot recording lines by the BMR and a number of university seismic research groups, and the results were used...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

Results of a recent groundwater salinity sampling program of the Robinson Lens have revealed that the current procedure of using a bailer to obtain salinity samples yields inaccurate results, and that the salinity in this aquifer may be much higher...

The Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Board (OCWMB) is responsible for an area of approx. 920 square km which includes the Onkaparinga Catchment in the Adelaide Hills and the Noarlunga and Willunga sedimentary embayments south of Adelaide, South...

The Department for Water Resources drilled three wells at Kangaroo Flat in October and November 2000 as part of a hydrogeological investigation of the area. The wells were drilled as observation wells, and water levels will subsequently be monitored...

Mintaro Slate is produced from what is believed to be the oldest continuously operating quarry in Australia. The quarry was opened in the early 1850s, after Mintaro farmer Peter Brady discovered outcrops of slate in a creek bed on his property and...

Gunsight prospect was discovered in the late 1960s during the follow-up of anomalous copper detected by a stream sediment survey. In 1972-73 Dampier Mining Pty Ltd drilled eleven percussion holes (totalling 537 m) and eleven diamond holes (1764 m)...

Australian rock phosphate production has never been significant, and over the last two years steps have been taken to remedy the situation. This has and will involve time-consuming geological review work, leading to reconnaissance mapping, detailed...

Diamond drill-hole NFK1 was drilled to a total depth of 289.56 metres at the Old Noll prospect in November - December 1972, with the aim of intersecting the buried source of mineralization that has given rise to the boxwork structures outcropping...

Evaluates short and long term options for the collection, transport, treatment, recovery of resources and final disposal of solid and liquid wastes.

The proposal for development of sand and clay pit for solid waste disposal is environmentally sound. The study included geotechnical investigation and concluded that management of a Council commercial and industrial waste disposal facility would be...

Exploration of an area situated between Whyalla, Iron Knob and The Bluff overlooking Myall Creek, 20 km south-west of Port Augusta, aimed to test for Olympic Dam - type Cu-U-Au mineralisation associated with products of igneous activity located in and...

Copper and gold exploration comprising outcrop, stream sediment and soil geochemical sampling, and the conduct of ground magnetic and IP surveys, plus RC percussion (67 vertical holes, total 6624 m) and diamond cored tail drilling (in 2 holes, total...

Work carried out at Amdel and at the Colorado School of Mines' Research Institute has indicated that both a two solvent system (EHPA and TBP or DBBP) and a three solvent system (EHPA, DBBP and Alamine 336) of cationic exchangers are satisfactory for...
