Two separate licence areas located within the greater Waukaringa region north of Yunta in the Adelaide Fold Belt were taken up to explore for possible economic buried gold (both primary and secondary mineral occurrences), and also for any economic...

The Cariewerloo Basin is seen as having many similarities with the Athabasca Basin, host to several unconformity-related Uranium deposits. Both are intracratonic basins containing Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic, unmetamorphosed and largely undeformed, quartz...

The Curnamona Province basement 3D Geological Model is a product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases: 1845 - 1877 and 1970 - 1981. The entire length of the pit is occupied by a diapiric body...

The current, version 1 release South Australia state-wide Solid Geology 3D Model is a new compilation of the pre-existing Gawler Province 3D Model and Curnamona Province 3D Model releases of 2005, that were both constructed in GeoModeller and then...

South Australia's Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world's great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class throughout the...

The Eastern Gawler Craton / Woomera Prohibited Area 3D map presented herein forms part of a collaborative project being undertaken between the Department of State Development (DSD), the University of Adelaide and the Deep Exploration Technologies...

The acquisition and interpretation of the deep crustal seismic line 13GA-EG1 has allowed a new 3D model to be constructed for the western Gawler Craton. The new 3D model expands on the Eastern Gawler IOGC / Woomera Prohibited Area model, which sits...

Beach Energy contracted Terrex Seismic to acquire the Dombey 3D Seismic Survey in the Otway Basin, South Australia. Field acquisition was from 2nd Feb 2022 until 11th Mar 2022. The primary objective of the survey was to image structural targets around...

A small licence area centred ~70 km east of Marla has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried sedex style base metal deposits or IOCG style mineralisation which may exist there, hosted by largely unknown Proterozoic basement rocks,...

Red Sky Energy contracted Velseis to acquire the Lodwick 3D Seismic Survey in the Otway Basin, South Australia. Field acquisition was from 20th Feb 2022 until 28th Feb 2022. The primary objective of the survey was to better delineate the Sawpit...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, located in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic metasediments and granites, and Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline....

100 earthquakes from the South Australian earthquake catalogue, between 2007 to mid-2015, were selected in an area of the Fleurieu Peninsula with the densest seismograph coverage. The model consists of an earthquake magnitude map, ranging from near...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The Gawler Province 3D Geological Model is the second product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale of...

The South Australian Geophysical Reference Model (SAGRM) integrates 3D geophysical data that covers the entire state to a depth of 100 km. The model incorporates new gravity, magnetic, and magnetotelluric inversions with existing deep crustal...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

A joint Geoscience Australia - PIRSA survey of earthquake activity within the Flinders Ranges region, which was conducted from September 2003 to July 2005, used 18 seismographs (including some Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource equipment)...

This model was produced by The South Australian Centre for Mineral Exploration Under Cover (CMXUC), a collaborative research initiative of the Government of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. The northern to central Flinders Ranges area...
