The proposed Lake Gairdner 'section 12 determination' area has the potential to host significant mineral deposits. The area lies close to two major geological boundaries; to the immediate north is the Yerda Shear Zone, and to the west, the Yarlbrinda...

A field mapping project was set up by PIRSA to investigate the age, origin and emplacement history of newly discovered [by Goldstream Mining NL on EL 2222] volcanic rocks within the Mount Grainger Anticline, close to the town of Oodla Wirra. Outcrop...

South Australian Premier Mike Rann launched the Plan for Accelerating Exploration — PACE — in April 2004. Its budget of $15 million over five years was increased to $22.5 million in September that year. In his initial announcement, the Premier...

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:...

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 Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. While most of the Province is obscured by younger sedimentary cover regions of exposure are present in the northwest as the Mount...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials for the six-month period ended 30 June 2003. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for the...

Palynological analyses of samples from the Fossil Hill area [of Flinders Diamonds' Calabrinda diamond exploration prospect], in the northern Willochra Basin, have indicated the presence of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sediments correlated with the...

Palynological analyses of seven cuttings samples taken from the Kingoonya Palaeochannel area drillholes KINPC 1 and KINPC 2 indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene fluvial sediments, whose age is confirmed by recognition of palynomorphs...

The results of a 1982 State-wide hydrogeochemical survey showed the Musgrave Block to be anomalous and potentially mineralised. In 1997 a groundwater quality survey was undertaken for the remote communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands. Water...

Palynological analyses of samples from Meadows Bore 1 indicate the presence of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus Zone. At the base of the Tertiary interval examined it appears that a wet rainforest...

High precision geochronological analyses of metamorphic and inherited magmatic zircon grains, which were obtained from stored percussion drillhole samples of a garnet gneiss that occurs within the Commonwealth Hill magnetic anomaly, north-western...

This report presents the results of exploration on the Director of Mines E.L.A. 383 at Sleaford Bay during November, 2006. A number of samples of Carnot Gneiss, Hutchison Group and Donington Suite granitoids were collected from coastal exposures at...

Detailed petrological descriptions of 16 surface and near surface samples of intrusive ?igneous rocks obtained from nine localities spread around Terowie, Eurelia and Bangor have shown that they are intensely altered and weathered, making confirmation...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and earth resource materials for the six-month period ended 31 December 2003. The first part of the report details the production sales...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and other earth resource materials for the six months ended 30 June 2004. The first part of the report details the production sales...
