An area located just to the east of the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, occupied by many scattered large and small salt lakes surrounded by sand dunes, with Precambrian basement [of the western Gawler Craton] subcropping near the surface, has been...

SALT MINING STUDY: Field tests on the feasibility of Lake Torrens salt production to supply raw material for the planned Redcliff Petrochemical Project were continued, with project planning technical data demonstrations given to visiting officials of...

Adelaide Brighton Cement took up tenure of the Moorlands lignite deposit during September 1976 in order to conduct confirmatory drilling of the published coal resource, to prepare a mining study for Lobe 'E', and overall, to assess the coal's...

Exploration activity on Exploration Licences 5016 (Whichelby), 5308 (Mount Hall), 5398 (Sceales), 5787 (Yanerbie) and 5814 (Tootla) is focused on gypsum and kaolin deposits. The tenements are grouped in the Poochera Project Amalgamated Expenditure...

Problem situations associated with the operation of the concentrator, and recommendations as to the modifications needed to put the plant into a satisfactory operating condition for a start up, are discussed.

The main problem, leading to poor recoveries of copper from the Kadina - Wallaroo tailings dump materials being put through the Kadina copper concentrator, is an increasing amount of oxidized sulphide minerals in the treated tailings. Testing by...

Investigates the likelihood of mineral concentrates becoming oxidized and liberating toxic sulphur dioxide gas during their transport to Japan. The sample examined is quite stable, but is not representative of the concentrate likely to be produced...

Reports provide a history of the assistance given by the licensee and State Government officials to Dow Chemical Co. to enable their re-assessment of the viability of the proposed Redcliff Petrochemical Plant and associated raw material sources.

Recognition of the adverse technical implications of known active aquifer pressure support and interpool communication between Permian gas reservoirs of the southeastern Cooper Basin requires that an estimate of aquifer size be undertaken to...

Cost studies for converting some of LPG to high octane alkylates and blending these with condensate to produce premium grade gasoline at two sites. Stony Point and Port Stanvac appear to be marginally viable.

Ore reserves were recalculated to investigate the discrepancies between amounts of contained copper delivered to the mill and some much higher pre-production estimates. The apparent reason for the difference was over-optimistic pre-production...

Exploration for sodium carbonate, base metals and petroleum included detailed logging and sampling of Byilkaoora 2, seismic survey (76 km of 60 fold Vibroseis data recorded at 30 metre intervals), and drilling and shooting of 10 upholes, geologically...

In September 1971, CSIRO was supplied by the Delhi International Oil Corporation with eight coal samples and one oil sample from the Moorari No.l, Tirrawarra No.l and Tirrawarra No.2 ·Wells. The hydrocarbons extracted from the coal samples were...

This report summarises basic data relating to the stratigraphic and geographic distribution, composition and recovery efficiency of Cooper Basin hydrocarbons. Their possible geological controls are discussed, with the aim of refining pre-drill...

27 oil samples obtained on drillstem testing of various Mesozoic and Permian formations in wells spread across the Delhi-Santos petroleum exploration licence areas were subjected to organic geochemical analysis to determine their geochemical...
