Water well monitoring data from wells located on Aboriginal lands (Pitjantjatjara, Yalata and Nepabunna) are summarised for the period October 2000 to April 2001. Equipment failure was still high, with faults recorded at 18 wells, particularly of the...

Mapping in the vicinity of the Warrakimbo mine and Rainy Day prospect, approximately 30 km west of Hawker, has indicated that altered dolomitic members of the Etina Formation are the most prospective hosts for specular haematite mineralisation, which...

Point Paterson, located on the Spencer Gulf coastline 15 km south-east from Port Augusta, was the site of limited commercial sea salt production from 1951 to 1963. A site inspection, recently carried out to appraise the abandoned facilities of this...

TARGET: Lower Permian coal of steaming or coking grade, suitable for open cut development. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling of 42 open and partly cored holes totalling 5122 m, including 105 m of coring, with follow-up geophysical logging. RESULTS: 7...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits that may have formed in the vicinity of Curnamona Station, two and possibly three Tertiary palaeochannels were located by 6 east-west lines of reconnaissance resistivity surveying, within...

Two licence sub-areas located along the north-western side of Lake Torrens and extending out into the middle of the lake were taken up to explore for possible Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold(-uranium) deposits, concealed at depth...

A partly defined magnesite resource thought to be of the order of 579 million tonnes in size, consisting of a series of semi-continuously outcropping magnesite beds ranging in thickness from 0.5 m to 9.0 m, is situated within the northern Flinders...

Exploration for possible diamondiferous kimberlite in an area located 30 km north-northwest of Woomera has consisted of office studies and a consultant's airborne geophysical data interpretation. Previous CRA Exploration kimberlitic indicator...

An archaeological survey has been made of the remains of the Burra melting works, and in-depth research into the works' history and operation between 1848 and the present day has been carried out, to enable an assessment of the site's significance on...

Exploration work undertaken within an area located 80 km north of Yunta and just to the south of Baratta has concentrated on two regional targets: Cainozoic sediments hosting possible alluvial gold, evaporite and uranium deposits, and Neoproterozoic...

Geoheritage Sites form part of South Australia’s Natural Heritage and show features of outstanding geological or geomorphological significance. For this reason, they are deemed by the geoscience community to merit special recognition and are highly...

Exposures or outcrops of rocks are numerous and diverse in much of South Australia, but, surprisingly, relatively few provide outstandingly significant scientific data. The ones that do, however, constitute irreplaceable physical segments of Earth...

Previous investigations of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine littoral zone clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand (HM) placer accumulations have discovered numerous occurrences of economic to...

Exploration activities undertaken on the Mount Woods Project during 2011 comprised: - ongoing target generation and geological interpretation - continued geological and structural interpretation of the Mount Woods Inlier - drilling of 80 rotary...

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...

As part of a wider search over SA for possible continental salt lake occurrences of NaCO3-rich brines and of fossil crystalline trona beds, presumed to be equivalent to the Lake Magadi (Kenya) / Green River Basin (Utah - Wyoming) style Tertiary...
