Negative heavy mineral sampling results and a lack of magnetic anomalies suggest that two areas located south-west of Lake Eyre South have little potential for diamonds and / or kimberlites.

Economic Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation has been the target of exploration carried out in three adjoining areas which together extend for about 55 to 170 km north of Port Augusta, covering southern Lake...

Proposals to minimise land use conflict and hazards to travellers. Summarises natural resources of desert region.

Analysis of Pliocene sedimentation along the Padthaway Ridge has identified a major shoreline feature in the Marmon Jabuk Range, with associated, but younger, shorelines developed in the Padthaway area. Traversing and sampling has established the...
