Diamond exploration over an area located approximately 35 km south-east of Yunta was undertaken to assess an interpreted structural environment that may be similar to one existing nearby to the west close to Terowie, in which shallowly buried,...

The discovery in July 1970 of a strong surface radioactive thorium anomaly emanating from outcrop near Uno Homestead, 48 km north-west of Iron Knob, which was made by a Japanese company's geophysical prospecting party, prompted the leasing of the...

The Mount McTaggart prospect is located 15 miles south-west of Arkaroola Base Camp and 3 miles west of the Arkaroola-Balcanoona Road. A programme of ten rotary percussion holes totalling 3457 feet commenced on 11/10/1971 and was completed on...

The dielectric separation effect has been studied. A small continuous separator has given some concentration of sillimanite in a sillimanite-rutile mixture.

A process for extracting titanium dioxide from ilmenite by chlorination is described. Fluidising characteristics of ilmenites from various sources have been determined experimentally. A small fluid bed reactor, constructed for investigation described....

Particle size classification, followed by magnetic separation and flotation, respectively extracted 14% and 44% of the TiO2 content of leach residues of Radium Hill ore concentrates sampled from the Port Pirie uranium treatment plant.

The cyclic chlorination process for conversion of rutile produced from beach sand, and of ilmenite, into titanium tetrachloride, has potential for commercial production. Further testing work is recommended.

Results of experimental work carried out on a' sample of mineral bearing sand from Moana are presented in this report. Market grade concentrates were not produced.Possible treatment methods of producing saleable products are outlined and further...

A sample from a sand dune at Moana, South Australia, has been tested for extraction of heavy minerals. Good recoveries of rutile and zircon were obtained, but products were below market grade. Possible treatment methods of producing saleable products...

A concentrate of heavy minerals was made from the beach sand deposit at Moana, South Australia. This concentrate was treated by magnetic and electrostatic methods to recover monazite, rutile and zircon. The valuable mineral product was in each case...

Beach sands of Recent age which have accumulated in shallow water adjacent to the present shore of Morrison Beach, Kangaroo Island, have a heavy mineral content of 0.31%. The recently completed drilling programme has defined a sequence of fine to...

Heavy mineral sands are mined at Morrison Beach for their rutile and zircon content, with ilmenite and staurolite recovered as by-products. There appears to have been only one main period of heavy mineral deposition, which occurred during a high...
