This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

Samples of volcanic ash obtained from the Mount Schank area were tested to find if they would act as a satisfactory, naturally occurring raw material substitute for artificial fly ash presently used as a low cost ingredient in concrete mixes, that is...

Similarities between the Athabasca and Cariewerloo Basins were first proposed by PIRSA geologists in the 1990s. Subsequently, the uranium potential of the Cariewerloo Basin has been heavily promoted by PIRSA. Both are intracratonic basins containing...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

South Australia’s Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world’s great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same causative thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class being...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

This report presents the results from zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb geochronological age determinations, and both trace and rare earth element abundance geochemical analyses, performed on fifteen outcrop and drill core samples originating from the...

This report presents the results from multi-isotopic apatite and zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on thirteen samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. Eleven drill core samples are interpreted ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks, with most...

Opal has a long history of use, both as a treasured possession and for personal adornment. Opal artefacts several thousand years old have been discovered in East Africa. The first discovery of common opal in Australia was made near Angaston (SA) by...

Original hard copy scrapbook dossier containing a random? selection of press article excerpts (33 in number) dating from 1880 to the early 1960s.

This RB represents a handbook written to accompany a display of drill core from around the State, which was briefly assembled in the foyer of the Adelaide Convention Centre for easy inspection by attendees at all three days of SAREIC 2015. Samples had...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...

An application for financial assistance to resume mining at the Avondale mine, by sinking a vertical shaft to a depth of 220 feet on the East lode, was made on 28/6/1948 by Mr. A.R. Dodson on behalf of Dodson & Co. After making a geological...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...

The Coompana area is characterised by several thick basin cover sequences dominantly composed of limestone, and forms the topographically flat Nullarbor Plain. Consequently, this region was previously considered too challenging for mineral...

The SHRIMP zircon dating study described herein was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA), as a collaborative research project between the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) and Geoscience Australia (GA). Eight samples...
