The 5th Australian Regolith Geoscientists Association (ARGA) Conference was held in Wallaroo, South Australia, from 8th to 11th of April 2018. This multi-disciplinary conference displayed a wide variety of regolith-related research news on various...

An expedition carried out to scientifically inspect the Musgrave Ranges and Everard Range region indicates poor prospects for discovering minerals, but, with care in accessing and maintaining underground water supplies, the country appears to hold...

The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is a military testing range covering 122,188 square km of the land surface of central South Australia. Underlying it are highly economic minerals - prospective rocks of the Gawler Craton, a major province of the...

Today's landscape in the eastern Musgrave Province, South Australia, comprises vast alluvial and sand plains, aeolian dunes and dunefields. These features formed as a result of episodes of variable alluvial and aeolian activity following the onset of...

An intensely faulted and folded metasedimentary area centred ~50 km east-northeast of Blinman, where extensive hydrothermal alteration is evident in the Neoproterozoic bedrock, and where considerable past small-scale surface mining activity has...

This document aims to establish an appropriate geological framework and resource potential baseline for DEM's knowledge about lime sand on Kangaroo Island (KI), by showing and discussing what new lime sand resource areas are available, based on the...

A group of adjoining tenements covering ground situated between Ceduna and the Trans Australia Railway are being explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. During the 2007-2008 joint reporting year,...

There has been no work conducted on the relinquished part of the subject licence, as Iluka considers it to be of low prospectivity for discovering economic deposits of heavy mineral - bearing sands.

Most of a sizeable licence area located on SA's Far West Coast, which formerly extended for 10 to 90 km inland from the vicinity of Bookabie, has now been partially relinquished owing to its perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marine...

Two adjoining areas located north of Koonibba were taken up to explore this part of the south-eastern Eucla Basin for possible buried economic marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM), because they were believed to contain shallow or exposed...

309.6 square km or ~18.77% of the pre-existing area of EL 5564 Poondinga was partially relinquished on 19/2/2019 because in the licensee's view this south-eastern portion of the licence are does not appear to exhibit the geological features required...

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...

No field work was done during the first year of tenure. A review of previous drillhole data for the subject area has indicated that crystalline basement occurs at an average depth of 10 m. The entire area is dominated by a 40 km former promontory,...

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...
