A series of lithostratigraphic interpretations of outcrop and drillhole sections (for SADME and Comalco holes) have been drawn up to assist in the production of a satisfactory palaeogeographic and stratigraphic model of the Officer Basin. 3...

An area of considerable biological, geological and cultural interest, including its wilderness character; geological features such as fossils, structures, stratigraphy, and mineralogy; the geomorphic story, particularly of the Pleistocene and Recent...

The first draft of correlation chart for the Australian Jurassic is presented for comment. It includes both sedimentary and igneous rocks and covers onshore and offshore areas and Papua New Guinea to 8 degrees S. The chart overlaps with surrounding...

Diamond exploration undertaken south of Abminga comprised an interpretation of SAEI regional aeromagnetic data plus loam sampling and helimag surveys of 6 selected anomalies, and RAB drilling on 4 of them. Heavy liquid separation and optical tests of...

Two aeromagnetic targets of possible kimberlite origin identified at Wintinna Hill, 40 km south-east of Marla, were not substantiated as dipolar in character by the results of an 8 line km ground magnetic survey.

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Uranium Equities Ltd, with the assistance of PACE Initiative Year 5 drilling project partial subsidy funds, have completed a greenfields exploration drilling programme to look for possible buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation on the western edge...

Exploration for nickel, chromium and precious metals, 60 km north-west of Fowlers Bay, comprised ground magnetic and Protem surveys, plus RC drilling (5 holes, total 637 m). No ultramafic intrusive rocks were encountered, and no anomalous downhole...

Diamond exploration undertaken south of Abminga commenced with a review of MESA's SAEI aeromagnetic data, which delineated 5 promising magnetic targets. Helimag surveying and loam sampling of these anomalies were next performed, the latter to check...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

In addition to preserving typical set of coastal ecosystems, park provides refuge for many birds, presents modern example of age old geological processes and contains rich array of archaeological and historical resources.

Several potential buried diatreme targets, plus regional basement potential for northeast-trending Proterozoic Cu-Au and Ni-Cu mineralisation, were identified within the Nullarbor Regional Reserve and Yalata Aboriginal Lands on western Eyre Peninsula....

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Reconnaissance geological mapping of existing, previously quite productive opal workings in the White Hill area of the Stuart Range 'Breakaway' country, 100 km south-east of Coober Pedy, was followed by exploratory and infill narrow-hole auger deep...

A consultant to MESA interviewed 45 mining industry professionals throughout Australia from June through to mid-July, 1994. The aims of the customer feedback poll were to measure the Minerals Division's performance in promoting and regulating the...

Utah Development Co. entered into a joint venture exploration programme with Northland Minerals Ltd in the Kapunda area of South Australia that has lasted from 29 May 1974 to 14 February 1978. Utah has managed this programme, which sought stratiform...
