The existing water supply bore at the Naracoorte Caves Reserve has been successfully rehabilitated. Groundwater from this and a newly drilled standby bore is of usable quality for gardens and domestic purposes other than for drinking. However, water...

The mining and processing of copper ore in South Australia's early history were based on Cornish practice and technology. The discovery of copper deposits, which led to what proved to be economically viable operations in the new colony, proved timely,...

Holdfasts were installed to 2 entrances to The Cathedral cave to improve safety for rock climbers and emergency rescue personnel. Four rockbolts were grouted into holes drilled into rocks of the Gambier Limestone. Load tests ensured adequacy of both...

A mineral systems analysis for Cu-Mo-Au in the Delamerian Orogen has been conducted to assess the orogen's potential for containing this type of mineral occurrence. A conceptual model was delineated, and prospectivity maps were created. These maps can...

Three Exploration Licences spread across the central and eastern Musgrave Ranges are now being explored by NiCul Minerals Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of PepinNini Minerals Limited) which currently owns 100% of each tenement. The ground held is...

A small licence area located 8 km north-west of Olary township was taken up to explore for possible economic stratabound iron ore (magnetite) hosted by metamorphosed Adelaidean glacial sedimentary strata of the Yudnamutana Subgroup. During licence...

A very small licence area located 13 km north-west of Olary township was taken up to explore for possible economic stratabound iron ore (magnetite) hosted by metamorphosed Adelaidean glacial sedimentary strata of the Yudnamutana Subgroup. During...

During the first year of renewed EL 4167, in October and November 2008, Stellar Resources Ltd ("Stellar") completed a 5 hole, 1286.9 m RC and 2 hole, 157.1 m diamond cored inclined drilling programme at the Coolybring prospect which is located...

Exploration for possible economic heavy mineral sands carried out by Iluka Resources within the now relinquished portions of its multi-licence acreage has comprised aircore drilling of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequence (173 holes for a total...

An area covering parts of west-central Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island was taken up by Pima Mining because it was considered a strategic acreage acquisition, since it adjoins the southern boundary of the company's EL 2528 Andamooka already issued to...

A small licence area located ~21 km north-west of Olary township was taken up to explore for possible economic stratabound iron ore (magnetite) hosted by metamorphosed Adelaidean glacial sedimentary strata of the Yudnamutana Subgroup. During licence...

An area located along the south-south-western margin of the Gawler Ranges volcanic province has been explored for possible economic buried copper-gold and/or base metal mineralisation which might have been emplaced during the early stages of the...

An area in the vicinity of Parndana, located on north-central Kangaroo Island approximately 30 km west-southwest of Kingscote, is being explored mainly for possible economic gold and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide mineralisation...

The Eukaby mining field area of the eastern Flinders Ranges was explored for Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralisation, while geophysical data modelling targetted Olympic Dam style metallogenic systems. Information gained from detailed structural mapping and rock...

The Kangaroo Creek upper dam site spans the River Torrens about 100 yards downstream from its junction with Kangaroo Creek. The site is one of several investigated by Dr K.R. Miles for the E. & W.S. Department and is part of the proposed...

The proposed dam site is in non-calcareous metamorphic rocks consisting of schists and gneieses. These also form the northern rim of the reservoir. Proterozoic little metamorphosed sandstones shales dolomites and slates form the southern rim of the...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...
