Ongoing exploration for precious and base metals in the Glenloth - Tarcoola area has lately involved extending the reconnaissance geological and geochemical survey grid, both to the west and the east of the original Kenella Rocks area of...

Rock chip and stream sediment samples were analysed for U, Th and base metals. In addition, water samples from bores were analysed for U. All assays were low. It was concluded that the Hiltaba Granite has slightly elevated but insignificant levels...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This report presents the results from zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on seventeen quartzofeldspathic samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. The samples were collected from stratigraphic units mapped as the Archaean to early...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

The geology of 42 outcrops is briefly described. All are Precambrian in age and each site is located on a 1:100 000 geological map.

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...

The KIMBA 1:250 000 geological map sheet (hereafter referred to as KIMBA) lies in central Eyre Peninsula, extending between latitudes 33° to 34° S and longitudes 135° to 136°30'E (Fig 1). The principal towns are Kimba and Cleve, with smaller towns at...

This report book presents the results of seven geochronology research projects completed during 2009 and 2010 as a new part of the ongoing PACE Initiative geoscientific data gathering activity underwritten by the South Australian Government. It has...

An area located 30 km south of Port Augusta and covering more than 792 square km east of the main highway between Port Augusta and Whyalla, which falls entirely within part of the Cultana Army Training Area held by the Australian Commonwealth...

This regolith material hand specimen atlas displays 246 images of 212 regolith samples which have been collected over the last 30 years by the authors, present and past Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) staff and members of the Cooperative...

Exploration on EL 6713, Ceduna Project, in the western Gawler Craton was initial focused on Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic style mineralisation around the Cooper Hill and Kalanbi Prospects, with a later shift to clay hosted rare earth element (REE)...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...
