White weathered shale in the Birdwood area appears to be associated with north-south trending quartzite ridges. Scout drilling is recommended between quartzite ridges south of the pit in Section 6397, Hundred of Talunga.

Stromatolites afford a means of stratigraphic subdivision and correlation in Precambrian sequences which, contain few or no other fossils. Detailed field and laboratory studies are necessary in order to classify stromatolites. Determination of the...

Stream sediment sampling, induced polarization surveys and a 44 drill hole rotary drilling program were undertaken over the Anabama Granite. The granite was found to be unmineralized except for greisened portions containing anomalous copper and...

Adelaidean and younger rocks of the Yunta, Winnininnie, Oakvale, Mutooroo, Ballara, Wadnaminga, Olary and Manunda one mile areas are summarised.

Up to 30,000 feet of strata referred to the Adelaide System outcrop over the ORROROO 1:250,000 mapsheet area in the upper Mid-North of the State. The majority of the area has been geologically mapped, and only some localities in the south-west require...

The Carrieton 1:63, 360 map area lies about 200 miles north of Adelaide, South Australia. It contains folded rocks of the Burra, Umberatana and Wilpena Groups of the Adelaide System, of Upper Precambrian age; total thickness of these rocks exceeds...

The Spalding inlier is a lens-shaped area of tightly-folded Willouran rocks of the Adelaide System (Upper Precambrian), extending north-south for about 10 miles; it is about 100 miles north of Adelaide. The rim of the inlier is marked in most places...

The country rocks consist of Burra Group (Torrensian) formations which have been metamorphosed to dolomite, marble and quartz-mica-schist. The dolomite appears to be of poor quality, easily weathered and it is contaminated with pyrite which has been...

An experimental test resistivity profiling method, using a two electrode array, was used to determine the resistivity characteristics of thin quartz reefs in the Wadnaminga Goldfield area. The results were negative, but demonstrated the usefulness of...

Geological investigations for a 53 m high dam on the Little Para River 22 km north of Adelaide have shown that the site is formed by Proterozoic quartzites, slates and shaley dolomites. The metasediments dip uniformly 25° east and at the dam site a...

Sillimanite, andalusite and kyanite are three minerals with the same chemical composition (Al2SiO5) but with distinctive crystal structure and heating properties. All eventually convert to mullite at high temperatures. Sillimanite is the most...

The grout cap will traverse both hillsides between the river level and EL 153 and is to be 4m wide. Rock quality to be expected along both sides of the alignment is shown on a large scale geological map together with a tabulation of recommended...

Reconnaissance sampling and exploratory drrilling have been undertaken to locate suitable brickmaking clay for the proposed city of Monarto. Samples from exposures and boreholes in Quaternary and Tertiary sediments and in weathered bedrock have been...

In a search for possible Adelaidean bedrock stratabound sources of gold which have weathered to generate the alluvial gold deposits worked at the historic Gomersal and Moppa Goldfields, the licensee undertook structural modelling of available...

Exploration for possible economic buried gold and/or copper mineralisation that may have formed in a volcanic or porphyry- related setting, within an area of the Adelaide Geosyncline situated 130-140 km north-northeast of Adelaide, has comprised the...

Exploration for gold and copper mineralisation within an area located immediately south of Mount Bryan and 19 km north of Burra was aimed principally at finding deposits of copper oxide and carbonate ores similar to those mined historically at Burra...

Exploration for copper mineralisation within a now relinquished licence portion centred 18 km north-northeast of Kapunda was aimed at finding deposits of oxide and carbonate ores similar to those mined historically at Burra and Kapunda. Work performed...
