In the stratigraphic sequence penetrated by Canopus Bore No. 1, five formations are present. From the surface to a depth of 185 feet, the boring passed through Recent surface sand and kunkar followed by medium to coarse sands of Plio-Pleistocene age....

A representative selection of rock types obtained in the cores of the DDH1 and DDH2 iron ore exploration holes was made with a view to studying the mineralogy, the lithology and any microstructures of interest present in the formations intersected. A...

The investigation which is the subject of this report was carried out in response to a request from Mr. E.L. Mitton, Accountant, on behalf of Millers Lime Ltd. The property is owned by J.Hallett & Son Ltd., freehold, with mineral rights alienated...

An occurrence of plastic clay exposed in a creek valley located approximately 14 miles east of Wilmington has been inspected and bulk sampled to provide material for laboratory testing of its possible utility to industry. 4 bulk samples were...

Two small deposits of white to pale-coloured claystone, discovered in creek banks located respectively 10.5 and 12 miles south of Manna Hill township, were inspected for the local station owners. It was found that the beds of clean claystone are very...

A study of the drill cuttings samples obtained down to 641 ft depth from this vertical cable-tool drilled hole indicates an organic origin for a large part of the sediments, and a marine environment of deposition.

Samples from sands, clays and limestones on the southern eastern corner of Lake Eyre were found to contain remains of fresh or brackish water microscopic plants and animals which inhabit inland and coastal lagoons, together with species of brackish...

Four drill holes were put down on the site of a proposed saw mill at Mt Gambier. Cavernous conditions were encountered in all four bores. Three of the four bores did not encounter cavernous conditions above 45 ft. whilst in one (WF4) a small cavity...

The site of a proposed new power station at Mt Gambier was investigated by cable tool drilling. The site is underlain by Gambier Limestone, known to be somewhat cavernous. Initially 16 holes were planned, and 12 were subsequently added to the...

The area under review is situated in the south-eastern section of Telford Basin between co-ordinates 8,000 and 34,000, and is a southern extension of the main (Telford) coal seam proved previously on the eastern margin. Coal has been proved by close...

Three occurrences of anomalous radioactivity detected by BHP within Palaeoproterozoic metasediments on the eastern side of the Iron Prince open pit iron mine were inspected at the company's request, to try to determine the source of radiation. The...

The area covered by the Gawler 1 inch to 1 mile Military Sheet, (Scale 1/63,360), has been mapped by B.Campana during the years 1951-1952. Complementary field and laboratory work has been carried out in the metamorphic and granitic terrains by A.W....

Geological mapping at Golden Grove revealed an area of potential brick clay. The area was tested by the drilling of 15 cable tool holes up to 35m deep, which showed substantial reserves of clay derived from complete weathering of shales of the late...
