Neoproterozoic glacial sedimentary units in the intramontane basinal valley located east of Leigh Creek and Copley, which were considered likely to contain possible geologically suitable palaeo-depositional sites for secondary uranium mineralisation...

High base metal values, particularly for zinc, that resulted from the sampling of pits and costeans at Eukaby Hill, led North to a close examination of the unremarkable calcareous siltstone host rock to find the cause of suspected syngenetic...

As follow-up to a programme of uranium exploration lately carried out in its adjoining EL 63, Tricentrol chose to drill an additional area of prospective Tertiary Murray Basin sediments present in the vicinity of the Anabama Fault zone, to further its...

Reports describe the various Cambrian biostratigraphic horizons encountered in the bore, making comparisons and correlations with the Cambrian elsewhere in the Adelaide Geosyncline, particularly at Mount Scott Range, Sellicks Hill, Curramulka, The...

Since the first edition of this map was released in May 2007, the collection by the Department's Geological Survey of much new geoscientific data and interpretations arising from South Australian regional surveys and exploration activities has...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 13/3/2002 from a survey...

This report is the first in a series of coastal bitumen fieldwork studies being carried out in South Australia over the duration of one year by the Organic Geochemistry Unit, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Adelaide and the South...

Background: Leaching of copper has been improved in many instances by the inclusion of bacteria in the leaching solution. If such a system could be applied to extracting copper from the many mine dumps of low grade ore that exist in South Australia,...

Exploration for possible buried Ernest Henry or Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation in the Nuckulla Hill area, 120 km north-east of Ceduna, did not progress during the first two years of tenure due to uncertainties in selecting a new remote...

Detailed geological mapping at the Parabarana Cu prospect, and between Parabarana and the Gunsight Cu/U prospect of North Flinders Mines Ltd in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, has been completed.A major ENE trending fault, the...

A new deposit of massive, specular micaceous haematite, found associated with Neoproterozoic diapiric thrust faults and with hydrothermally recrystallised calcarenite members of the Etina Formation, was mapped at the Rainy Day prospect, which is...

A search has been performed for possible commercial grade diatomaceous silica - rich sediments within an area straddling the Greanium - Lameroo - Pinnaroo Road and extending westwards from the SA/Vic. state border for ~90 km. The target locations were...

As part of the Mining and Rehabilitation Program (MARP) submission for the Prominent Hill Copper-Gold Project, a Native Vegetation Management Plan (NVMP) was developed in accordance with the MARP Guidelines prepared by PIRSA. The NVMP outlined how...

As part of a MESA-led reappraisal of the source rock potential of the Eringa Trough, Pedirka Basin, this study was commissioned to carry out an organic geochemical and petrographic investigation of coals and carbonaceous sediments from the margins of...

81 wetland sites were evaluated, covering locality, literature reviews, the Committees report and specific recommendations.

Reports describe an offshore sampling survey conducted of the topmost seabed sediments in a portion of Gulf St Vincent, over six days (non-consecutive) during December 1974 and January 1975. The aim was to map the occurrence and estimate the volume of...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam - type base metals was undertaken in an area located 105 km south-east of Yunta, based on the recognition of steep magnetic gradient anomalies juxtaposed with a regionally significant linear crustal structure....

The resumption of brownfields mineral exploration at the historic Kapunda copper mine and nearby prospects, undertaken by a new company, has targeted previously identified copper geochemical anomalies lying on the abandoned mine leases and along...

As a result of the work outlined in this report it is concluded that the possibility of economic tonnages of copper ore within the area of Special Mining Lease no. 165 are restricted to three localities, Breaden Hill, Boorloo and East Rook. All three...
