The East Boolcunda Basin was examined in order to map the Triassic rocks in detail and to assess their coal-bearing potentiality. It was found that these rocks conform to a true basin structure, similar in most respects to the Leigh Creek and...

Fine and coarse clay products, both containing five per cent free silica, were produced by cyclone treatment from a raw kaolin clay containing twenty per cent free silica.

A well survey was carried out in Kalangadoo Township from July to September 1976. A total of 233 wells were located, most being used for domestic supply (33%) and drainage purposes (20%). 14% were backfilled with a further 5% not in use. Obvious...

A study tour of water resource planning, development and management in Israel, France and United States has shown the need for geologists involved in groundwater hydrology to familiarize themselves with aquifer modelling and computer techniques. At...

Aim was to locate 3 anomalies more precisely to assist in location of drill sites test for mineralization. The results in 2 of the areas indicate anomalies are caused by narrow bands of magnetic material. The source of the anomaly in the third area...

It is estimated that total annual consumption of water in South Australia exceeds 1 million megalitres of which 651 is derived from surface sources and 35% from groundwater. Most water is used for irrigation (631) but reticulited water supplies...

A cheap EHT circuit has been designed and built by the Geophysical Technical Services Section of the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy for use in downhole radiometric probes. Spare circuits are carried with logging units to reduce down...

Computer modelling of the Milang groundwater basin was done to evaluate the groundwater flow systems of the basin, to test the basin hydrogeology described by Waterhouse et al. (1978), and to derive a groundwater management strategy for this area. The...

A computer model was based initially on a previous report. Following the setting up of the physical dimensions of the model, hydrologic parameters were applied. A number of runs of the model were made incorporating changes until the model represented...

Deposits in the Mount Lofty Ranges are subdivided into the Gumeracha-Lobethal region and deposits north of Gumeracha which include the Lyndoch deposits. On Eyre Peninsula, deposits are concentrated near Tumby Bay, with smaller deposits associated with...

Survey to SA foundries, indicates large reduction in activity since survey in 1966. The main source of metropolitan foundry sand is Sandy Creek, with additional material from Stow, Reeves Plain, Tailem Bend, Normanville, Pedlar Creek and Nalpa. These...

Bibliography for eyre Peninsula and far west is divided into:<

Guidelines on reporting requirements in SA are presented to facilitate interpretation, collation and processing of coal information.

The groundwater licensing authorities in the States of South Australia and Victoria recognize that future development of the lands adjacent to the border will depend on the groundwater resource underlying those lands. In most areas there, shallow...

9.1 million tonnes of crude ore and 2.5 million tonnes of dressed ore, averaging 3.39 and 3.61% copper respectively, were produced from 1890 to 1923. Output totalled 336 000 tonnes of copper and 1682 kg of fine gold. Some of the gold was purchased...

A seismic refraction survey at Roger Corner, near Yorketown on Lower Yorke Peninsula, has profiled pre-Permian bedrock and several other shallower refractors. The survey was carried out at the request of Aberfoyle Exploration Pty Ltd, licensees of EL...

Demand for uranium is primarily related to number of nuclear power reactors. Includes future demand and production. Table of current Australian uranium deposits includes discovery date, reserves, ore grade, company and references.

Two sandstone sequences, one un-named and one equivalent to the Watchie Sandstone, have been recognized on CURDIMURKA. These sandstone sequences occur beneath the Etadunna Formation. Both are believed to be equivalent to the Eyre Formation. The...
