An area centred ~30 km north of Winnininnie is being explored for possible buried primary hydrothermal gold deposits within Neoproterozoic bedrock, as part of a broader search for same in a region which has significant surficial gold deposits which...

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...

An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

The two Lake Gregory project licences were located between the Birdsville Track and Lake Gregory, approximately 100 km north-northeast of Marree, and to the north of uranium exploration tenements held by Adavale Minerals. Regalpoint selected these...

Exploration for possible economic concealed Beltana mine type stratabound lead-zinc-(silver) mineralisation, and for other diapiric and associated basic igneous intrusion - related base metal and/or gold occurrences, was carried out over a small area...

An area centred approximately 115 km south-east of Marla was taken up to explore for possible economic buried gold and base metal mineralisation that may have formed in Archaean to Proterozoic basement rocks or the overlying Palaeozoic sedimentary...

Cambrian sediments in the Arrowie Basin were deposited on a rifted continental margin. Four distinct depositional regimes, ranging from a western, tectonically stable shelf, through platform-ramp to eastern slope and trough-synclines, can be...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

Palynological analysis and dating of samples from MPB 125 drillhole, St Vincent Basin, indicates the presence of late Middle Eocene sediments in the Lower Nothofagidites asperus Zone. Taxa from MPB 125 are correlated with palynofloras from One Tree...

Palynological analysis of one drill cuttings sample taken from the rotary precollar portion of BHP Minerals' Spencer Gulf diamond drillhole KGD01001 indicates the presence of Late Eocene - Early Oligocene sediments that are attributed to the upper...

The Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. Whilst most of the Province is obscured by younger sedimentary cover, regions of exposure are present in the northwest as the Mount...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...

Palynological analyses of eight cuttings and three sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole Troas 1, in the SA offshore Otway Basin, show two distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The youngest samples are dated as Late Eocene,...

A regional geological interpretation of newly-acquired magnetic data for the majority of the Musgrave Block (central Australia) has been compiled at 1:250 000 scale. This report outlines the methodology and results of interpretation. Highlights of...

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

Palynological analyses of eight cutting samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole McNamara 1, which was drilled in the onshore part of the Gambier-Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late...
