TARGET: Phosphate occurrences in the Mid Sturtian from Port Pirie to Marree. EXPLORATION: Regional investigation of the occurrence, distribution and origin of phosphate by mapping of known phosphate occurrences and geological traversing across...

AIM:The 1974 Everard Seismic Survey consisted of a detailed grid of 103 km over the Munyarai prospect, and a regional tie line of 54 km with outcrops at the rim of the Officer Basin, to investigate the possibility of a prospective Ordovician sequence...

Two adjoining licence areas located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township, in the ranges lying immediately east of the Telford coal basin, are being explored for possible economic occurrences of marble rock which are believed to hold enormous...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits, a resistivity survey and a 19 hole, 2818 m reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging programme were carried out in parts of the Tertiary Curnamona...

Different ages are indicated for the three sedimentary troughs in PEL 24 delineated by the previous magnetics interpretation. The Tallaringa Trough has a basal unit of Cambrian limestones which thicken to the southwest. This is overlain by Permian or...

6 marker horizons recognised: (1) - White dolomite (approx. 100 thick). Well developed green chloritic mineral along stylolites. High porosity. Frequent Archaeocyathinae. (2) - Uppermost oolite (3-11' thick). Ooliths white in colour, 1/16 inch...

A programme of reconnaissance and infill geochemical stream sediment sampling, conducted over an area extending to the north-east and south-east of Hawker, examined the base metal potential of the Lower Cambrian limestone sequence overlying the Pound...

One diamond and seven rotary/percussion drillholes tested Cambrian rocks for base metals. Six water bores were logged geophysically. IP/resistivity and gravity surveys were undertaken.

Exploration for possible economic syngenetic lead-zinc sulphide mineralisation hosted by Lower Cambrian carbonate units in the vicinity of the Wirrealpa Diapir has comprised a review of past exploration in the region, two brief sorties of field...

Exploration for supergene Cu-Pb-Zn mineralisation within the Cambrian Andamooka Limestone, 12 miles north-east of Andamooka, comprised broad scale surface geochemical sampling (302 samples), detailed mapping of the resulting prospects, bulldozer...

Minlaton South 1 was a shallow stratigraphic test well drilled by Beach Petroleum to investigate a possible ?Archaean basement high subcropping 3.75 miles south of Minlaton township, as suggested by SADM regional mapping observations made during 1961....

This Cambrian marble deposit, which has been quarried by BHP since August 1942 to supply metallurgical fluxes to its Whyalla Steelworks, has recently been surveyed, mapped at 1:1200 scale and sampled through its entire extent to determine stone grades...

Exploration for possible Beltana - type diapir related hydrothermal base metal mineralisation undertaken in the Angepena area has consisted of regional stream sediment geochemical sampling (1498 samples of minus 20 to plus 80 microns mesh size) and...

This report has been prepared to collate the present knowledge on distribution, occurrence, accessibility and composition of these rocks and to bring together all relevant analytical data available, with appropriate references where applicable. It was...

As part of an ongoing search for MVT style base metal mineralisation within Lower Cambrian strata of the southern part of the Torrens Hinge Zone on Yorke Peninsula, in September 1975 112 RC holes for 1730 m were drilled at 500 m spacings along...

In South Australia the scarcity of easily obtainable timber, as compared to the other Australian States, and especially the absence of softwoods, led to the utilization of stone and clay. Stone is very extensively used for building, both in its...
