A survey of calcareous sandstone in the neighbourhood of Lucindale was requested by the Chief Engineer of the South Australian Railways (Mr Bridgland). Specimens of the material had been submitted to him through the Resident Engineer in charge of...

In November 1958, whilst engaged on mapping the Willochra one mile sheet for the Department of Mines, the author and C. Von der Borch made a brief field inspection of the structure known as the Blinman Dome. Observations made on this inspection...

Preliminary investigations into the calcinations of lime sands from Eyre Peninsula, South Australia are described in this report. The material as mined has a chemical composition suitable for lime production without prior beneficiation. Usual...

In connection with development of the Lincoln Basin to augment the water supply for Port Lincoln it is proposed to construct 1 million gallon storage tank and pumping station on Section 98, Hundred Lincoln. Six test holes were drilled in the vicinity...

Drilling has detected sand of early Tertiary age overlain by younger loam, kunkar and clay. The sand is lying unconformably on weathered Precambrian bedrock or on Permian glacial clay. Drilling on Section 140, Hundred Willunga has failed to locate a...

A topographical survey has been carried out to determine the probable extent of a siliceous limestone horizon beneath a mesa, namely Sugarloaf Hill, located 2 miles west of Lake Bonney near Kingston-on-Murray, which on its northern part is worked as a...

The recognition of the role of slumping of sedimentary breccias and stratiform mineralisation in the localisation and origin of the Burra Main Orebody is discussed and recommendations for further work are made.

Lead and copper mineralisation occurs in rocks of Cambrian age in the Ediacara Mineral Field. Rich pockets of ore minerals of limited extent occur in the Transition beds and in the overlying carbonates, associated with breccias or turbidites....

As part of the SADM iron exploration programme in South Australia, geophysical and drilling investigations have been undertaken on the Warramboo Anomaly, the largest elongate asymmetrical aeromagnetic anomaly in the State outside of the Middleback...

Results are reported of laboratory firing tests made on 11 shale samples and 4 clay samples, performed in both oxidising and reducing furnace atmospheres for various length heating periods over an extensive fusion temperature range. The bloating...

Four boreholes completed in Lake Eyre North and one in Lake Eyre South have provided further information on lake sediments and the stratigraphy of the Lake Eyre Basin. Modern lake sediments constitute a thickness of less than 15 feet in the deflated...

A study of the role of mica in the bloating of clays has been made. Eighteen samples of clay supplied by the Geological Branch of the South Australian Mines Department, were used for the tests, which consisted of heating the samples in an electric...
