In this period a revegetation trial was undertaken on the tailings dams, the availability of clay in the area suitable for sealing the main benches assessed and a chemical survey of Dawsley Creek in the mine area was made to assess the effects of a...

A detailed description and interpretation of the carbonate lithologies present in drill cores recovered from two recently completed SADME stratigraphic wells have revealed that the Observatory Hill Beds in the Marla area were deposited in a shallow...

In 1973 Amdel was requested by the Department of Mines and Energy to investigate the problem of water pollution in Dawesley Creek, apparently arising from the abandoned pyrites mine at Brukunga. Following the investigation of sources of pollution, a...

Various petrophysical property measurements (total count radiometric, mag susceptibility and specific gravity) were made at 1-metre intervals on samples of stored drill core recovered from the hole depth range 210 m to 710 m (TD) in SADME Wilkinson 1...

This report details drilling programs carried out by MESA at and near the Brukunga open-cut pyrite mine and tailings dam areas in the period 6/5/93 to 14/4/94. A total of 29 wells were drilled within the tailings dam, the spoil heaps and on the hills...

The Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics - Hiltaba Granite Suite - related Olympic Dam style Cu-U-Au mineralisation, and Menninnie Dam replacement style Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation, have served to raise the prospectivity of rocks in and underlying the...

In December 2005 Mithril Resources completed five RC percussion drillholes totalling 682 m on three 100 m - spaced traverses, as one of the approved PACE Initiative Year 2 subsidised drilling projects. This drilling was intended to test a surface TEM...

An area of 7 square miles surrounding the historic shallowly worked Parabarana copper deposit in the far north-eastern Flinders Ranges, which outcrops at Copper Hill as vein-type disseminated secondary ore over a width of around 1200 feet, was...

It is proposed that the buried Tertiary Yarramba Palaeochannel feature hosting the sedimentary uranium mineralisation was incised into Cretaceous and Precambrian basement rocks. Within the channel, quartzose sands and abundant detrital organic matter...

As part of North's continuing exploration for possible buried syngenetic, Broken Hill - type stratiform base metal deposits in the Eukaby area, extensive deep directional diamond core drilling (9 of 14 holes totalling 11,603 feet) was carried out in...

The Mutooroo mine was the largest copper producer in the Olary Province, until its closure in 1914. Recent geophysical work and drilling have discovered a deeper massive sulphide body of over 8 million tonnes, averaging 1.66% Cu, with an unknown...

Extensions to Cu-Pb-Co-Ag - rich lodes that were formerly exploited at the historic Wheal Ellen mine, located 40 km south-east of Adelaide, were the targets of recently renewed exploration for gold and base metals. Following the conduct of extensive...

Investigation of the quartz - (sulphide) gossan vein systems within Proterozoic metasedimentary bedrock at the alluvial Teetulpa Goldfield north of Yunta, for stratigraphic and structural clues to loci of primary gold mineralisation elsewhere in the...

Exploration, initially for rare metal elements, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village and Umberatana Homestead. Work comprising petrography, rock chip sampling, stream...

11 samples of Late Proterozoic diamond drill core from Blinman 2 stratigraphic/exploration well, showing macroscopic sulphide mineralization, were studied to determine the sulphide mineralogy and its sulphur isotopic composition.

This report summarises results of a rotary drilling and coring programme undertaken between 21/10/1978 and 16/2/1979 at the Honeymoon uranium deposit. 99 open plug holes totalling 12,452.7 m and 16 core holes totalling 1894 m were drilled in a...

Gold exploration in the vicinity of the Kirkeek's Treasure mine, located approximately 75 km north of Yunta, comprised mapping, sampling and assaying of mine lode veins, of mineralised outcrops along strike to the east, and of nearby weathered...

The objective of the present investigation was to obtain, by means of a continuous pilot plant, operating data for the appraisal and design of a full-scale neutralization plant for the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) at Brukunga. Laboratory...
