RB 55/00006;Amdel 00126 Accessory minerals of South Australian granites.
The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...-

RB 2006/00004 Crustal evolution of the Gawler Craton, South Australia: Application of the TerraneChron technique to detrital zircon from modern stream sediments.
This report presents the results of a Terranechron [registered brand name for this proprietary technique] study of detrital zircons from modern stream sediments of the Gawler Craton. The Terranechron approach involves obtaining uranium - lead decay...-

RB 2010/00008 Age of deposition and provenance of Palaeoproterozoic basins on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula : constraints from SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology.
Two basin systems in north-eastern Eyre Peninsula comprising Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and volcanic successions are described in terms of rock age and provenance. The older system comprises the Myola Volcanics and the Broadview Schist, which...-

RB 2007/00015 Geochronology of the Gawler Craton, South Australia.
Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...-

Summary report on ground scintillometer surveys, SMLs 204 and 205.
Ground scintillometer work carried out by BHP over its SMLs in the Middleback Range area has been shown not to be an effective reconnaissance tool for finding uranium anomalies, but it does have demonstrated value for identifying sources of...-

RB 2012/00019 Geochemistry of pre-1570 Ma mafic magmatism within southern Australia: implications for possible tectonic settings and timing of major mineralisation events in South Australia.
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...-
