Much of the Gawler Craton (in South Australia) is covered with soil and other regolith materials that hide basement rocks and hinder mineral exploration. In the western parts of the Gawler Craton, for example, weathered basement rocks are covered by...

A version of the Russian-invented CHIM electro-geochemical prospecting technique, which has lately been developed at Guilin University, China, was trialled in field surveys conducted at the Challenger gold mine, and at the Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo and Goulds...

Adelaide lies towards the western margin of the Delamerian Fold Belt which extends across strike as far east as the Glenelg Province in western Victoria. Outcrop across this belt is very incomplete as most of the region of the Murray Basin is covered...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...

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...

Data Metallogenica (DM) is a knowledge base of the world's mineral (especially metallic mineral) deposits that relies on a library collection of comprehensive sets of miniaturized rock / ore samples, permanently cemented to approximately A4 page-size...

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...

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...

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...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

Sulfide and oxide trace element geochemical analyses have been conducted on more than 290 core chip samples collected from stored drill cores of 39 drillholes located across South Australia, as part of a collaborative project being conducted between...
