Newly compiled surface geological mapping data for the Adelaide City and inner eastern suburbs is presented as a draft map and explanatory notes. The distributions of Eocene to Holocene units of the St Vincent Basin have been reinterpreted from...

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...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

Contains the results of a SCAL study of 16 selected drill core plug samples taken from within the Strzelecki and Dullingari Field Jurassic oil reservoirs, to determine formation resistivity factor plus cation exchange capacity at ambient pressure...

Twenty diamond drill holes amountiing to a total footage of 3,780 feet have now been completed at the Victoria Hut Prospect. These have shown that the lodes extend to a depth of at least 270 feet down dip, but with a gradual decline in the width and...

This excursion was designed with the intent of introducing its participants to the geology, mineralisation and alteration styles present in the Moonta - Wallaroo region, through guided drill core inspection, a trip to the Wheal Hughes open pit mine,...

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

The Mingary 1:100 000 map area in the north-east of the state covers part of the Curnamona Province. Five suites of basic intrusives have been identified in the area. The most widespread is a series of amphibole-bearing sills which, having an...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Seven samples of Proterozoic basement rocks, representing syn and post-tectonic leucocratic melts that formed during the Kimban Orogeny within the Donington Suite and within cross-cutting Tournefort Metadolerite mafic dykes on the southernmost Eyre...

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...

Komatiitic greenstones were first recognised in South Australia from drillcore at Lake Harris on the Gawler Craton by Mines and Energy SA personnel in 1991. Subsequent petrography and detailed aeromagnetic data interpretation led to targeted drilling...
