Exploring the earth resources in the Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB) region is complicated by a regolith cover produced by a long and complex history of landscape evolution. The present surface of the HGB indicates little of the complex palaeochannel...

Possible diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions, and also economic base metals in the Cambrian bedrock strata, were the targets of exploration carried out in the Observatory Hill area, located approximately 250 km west of Coober Pedy. Initially, a 6200...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

The Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. Whilst 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 during the six monthly period ended 31 December 2001. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

This 4-day excursion travelled north along the Flinders Ranges which are made of folded thick, Neo-Proterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline sediments, then passed over stable Archaean- Mesoproterozoic crystalline basement rocks of the Gawler Craton, which are...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...

Palynological analyses of eight cuttings and three sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole Troas 1, in the SA offshore Otway Basin, show two distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The youngest samples are dated as Late Eocene,...

Three drill cutting samples of carbonaceous sands were submitted for palynological analysis. The spore-pollen assemblages of drillholes NR 3 (from the depth interval 16-18 m) and NR 4 (16-18 m) are possibly of the latest Eocene Upper Nothofagidites...

Open file company exploration information, released since the previous exploration review (McCallum, 1998) on the CURNAMONA 1:250,000 mapsheet area [note: this scale of mapsheet has its name conventionally written in capitals], is reviewed in this...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

The Musgrave Block in South Australia's far North-West has been identified by Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA) as one of the State's most highly prospective regions for mineral exploration, along with the Gawler Craton and...

In his two month - long technical secondment from PIRSA to Canadian major nickel explorer and producer Inco Ltd, the mode of genesis of the Reid Brook Zone of the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper mineralised magmatic system was analysed by the author using...

This set of notes has been compiled to furnish attendees at the title event with the geological framework for, and provide data on, all of the drill core displayed at the Gawler Craton 2004: State of Play seminar/core display. It contains...

This report contains summaries of categorised relevant GIS data types, i.e. in the geology, regolith, geochemistry, geophysics, spectral, topographic, land tenure and cultural categories, for all datasets which have been located to date. It includes...

The middle Palaeoproterozoic rocks (2000-1800 Ma) on southern Yorke Peninsula are part of the Cleve Subdomain in the eastern Gawler Craton, which is separated from the younger Moonta Subdomain by the Warooka Fault Zone. The rocks contain a group of...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...
