On 19/1/70 Minefields Exploration NL were granted an option over the Truro Talc and Joe's Hill talc deposits situated some 60 miles north-east of Adelaide. Then, during April 1970 a Stage I exploration programme was undertaken, consisting of...

Results of the deep stratigraphic / mineral exploratory well MU-2 drilled near Mulyungarie Homestead, east of Lake Frome and adjacent to the SA/NSW State border, are presented, besides the interpretation of a gravity survey conducted earlier in the...

During the period January 1946-December 1985 under review, the following petroleum exploration work was carried out over the Arrowie Block: 6 gravity, 2 aeromagnetic and 10 seismic surveys (total seismic coverage 2781 line km), plus 4 wells, all dry....

The Bookartoo ochre mine, which lies 19 km south-east of Parachilna on the western face of the Heysen Range, for centuries has been a traditional and important source of quality ceremonial decorative pigment for the aborigines of central and eastern...

3 sets of fault trends are distinguished, representing the Arrowie fault zone and components of the Mount John, Mount Roebuck and Narina fault zones. Small mineral deposits consist of phosphate, barite and copper.

Frequent ‘shows’ of hydrocarbons in Cambrian strata in South and Central Australia have considerably strengthened the belief in the petroleum potential of these Cambrian sediments. In South Australia, prospects for Cambrian hydrocarbon accumulations...

An essentially unmetamorphosed sequence of Upper Proterozoic Adelaide System rocks has been folded into a parallel series of north and north-east trending folds on the ORROROO mapsheet area. Rocks of the Adelaide System are up to 50,000 ft thick, and...

On the lot April, 1970, a request was received from the E and WS department for on additional bore for the Hawker town water supply, to be located preferably close to the existing main and on the south branch of Wonoka Creek, A site was elected by C...

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...

This report outlines the history and concept of the Torrens Hinge Zone project. An account is given of the regional geology, geophysics, geochronology and stratigraphic drilling in the Bute region and adjoining areas of northern Yorke Peninsula. An...

To aid in the correlation of deep refractors in the Frome Embayment, a series of eight seismic refraction velocities were determined on the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic outcropping sections in the Blinman-Wirrealpa area of the Flinders Ranges. The...

Rocks belonging to the upper part of the Adelaide System and the overlying Cambrian, outcrop in the eastern part of the Beltana area in the Nuccaleena Dome, and form the basement underlying the more recent sediments to the west. In the central and...

Surveys recently conducted in England, Ireland and Australia have shown that there are major spatial variations in the 'light' [molecular weight] hydrocarbon gas content of rocks which are closely related to the presence of underlying mineralisation....

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

A review of existing mineral exploration data pertaining to an area located 50 km north-east of Blinman indicated that geochemical copper anomalism is associated with the Mount Roebuck Fault and the Pinda Diapir. The potential for finding supergene...

Interpretation of magnetic and gravity data, together with calcrete and MMI sampling, were carried out adjacent to a southerly extension of the Ediacara Fault, 25 km north-west of Parachilna. Low order Pb-Zn-Ag anomalism was located, coincident with...

Follow-up geological investigations to stream sediment and soil base metal anomalies earlier disclosed in the Ten Mile Creek area have concluded that the mineralised sources found for the two broadest lead and zinc anomalous zones do not indicate the...
