Acting on behalf of Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of South Australia was contracted to scan 1260 m of sonic and diamond drilled core material originating from the onshore portion of the Bonaparte Gulf Basin, which is located both...

This publication has been compiled from a display prepared for the launch of SADME Bulletin 53, held at the Australian Mineral Foundation on 7 December 1987. The importance and diversity of commodities found in the Geosyncline are highlighted in the...

The Coompana area is characterised by several thick basin cover sequences dominantly composed of limestone, and forms the topographically flat Nullarbor Plain. Consequently, this region was previously considered too challenging for mineral...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

Regolith mapping over the Mingary 1:100 000 map area in the northeast of the State is in progress. To date, the Cockburn North, Cockburn South, Mutooroo North, Mutooroo South and Radium Hill South 1:25 000 maps have been completed. A well-developed...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...
