The area under review is situated in the south-eastern section of Telford Basin between co-ordinates 8,000 and 34,000, and is a southern extension of the main (Telford) coal seam proved previously on the eastern margin. Coal has been proved by close...

The low rainfall and somewhat mountainous area of the Serle 1 - Mile Geological Sheet is one of predominantly Pre-Cambrian and Early Palaeozoic outcrop with only shallow depths of Quaternary alluvium and a few patches of Tertiary conglomerate. A...

A second occurrence of outcropping monazite on the northern side of Myponga Hill, which is situated about 2 miles south of Myponga township, was inspected and advice given to a prospector concerning how best to further develop the existing small-scale...

A minor outcropping occurrence of blue-grey ?tremolite asbestos found in a fault crush zone located near the head of Mount Lyndhurst Creek was visited to assess its economic viability. Because of the largely narrow and unpredictable development of the...
