Possible base metal deposits in banded iron formations were the target of exploration in the vicinity of Salt Creek, 25 km north of Cowell on eastern Eyre Peninsula. A programme of geological mapping, rock chip geochemical sampling and the drilling...

Investigation of banded iron formation in the Lincoln Uplands of the Green Patch district for possible South West African type base metal sulphide deposits, consisted of rock chip and stored drill core sampling for trace metal and whole rock silicate...

Rock chip sampling, detailed geological mapping and 1 percussion drillhole to 94 m tested the base metal potential of a banded iron formation horizon in Charlton Gully, near Bald Hill, 30 km north of Port Lincoln. Whilst the mineralogy of the rock is...

Numerous Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag mines and prospects, including the promising Menninnie Dam prospect located 80 km north of Kimba, occur within graphitic, calcareous and psammo-pelitic metasediments of the Palaeoproterozoic (ca 1900-1850 Ma) Hutchison Group on...

As part of an ongoing regional search of the eastern Eyre Peninsula for possible economic stratiform base and precious metal deposits, soil sampling and SP and IP surveys were carried out over previously identified, separate linear lead and zinc...

A project to compare Gawler Craton iron formations of unknown age with those of known Archaean age (from geochronology) and with the Proterozoic, Lake Superior - type Middleback Range iron deposits has concentrated on characterising each formation by...

Investigation of banded iron formation in the Lincoln Uplands of the Tumby Bay district for possible South West African type base metal sulphide deposits consisted of rock chip and soil sampling at potential gossanous outcrops, and limited drilling of...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style primary uranium deposits hosted within basement rocks in a licence area located 55 km west-northwest of Port Lincoln has consisted of detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping over a 650 square km area,...

The target within an area centred ~35 km north-west of Cleve was massive stratiform Broken Hill and Aggenys style base metals mineralisation associated with the Lower and Upper Middleback Jaspilite units of the Hutchison Group. A world class sized...

This report deals comprehensively with the physiography, prospect geology, and ore genesis, and includes an assessment of the iron ore reserves and other mineral resources of an area which has been almost the sole source of the iron ore used in...

A regional geological survey covered 15 standard 1-mile map sheets. Detailed mapping established a 50 000 ft sequence of Archaean sedimentation of gneissose, schistose and granitoid rocks, migmatite, quartzite, dolomite and haematitic quartzite. These...

Stratabound, metasedimentary iron ore was the principal target of exploration undertaken by BHP over a large area surrounding the Moonabie Range that extends along strike and borders the north-western side of Spencer Gulf. Base and precious metals...

The iron-rich rocks of South Australia have been classified into six deposit types - residual, chemical sedimentary iron formations, Fe-skarn and, of lesser significance, hydrothermal, clastic and magmatic. Production has been overwhelmingly from...

This student vacational project report, for the Department's Petroleum Exploration Div., aimed to correlate the basement rocks met with in Great Australian Bight area offshore and near onshore petroleum exploration wells with outcropping formations...

This bulletin contains geochronological data and interpretations from the Gawler Craton of South Australia that have been completed by Mark Fanning of The Australian National University, by Geological Survey of South Australia personnel, and by...

At the Darke Peak copper prospect there are minor concentrations of copper in thin shears parallel to the rock layering. The copper occurs near the surface as malachite and azurite in thin veins (average thickness 1 foot) having near vertical dip. No...

Dolomitic marble deposits occur at 3 localities, with Locality 1 at Pillaworta Homestead preferred.

A dolomite deposit situated in section 66, Hundred of Yadnarie, near the township of Cleve, was mapped to asses reserves. Two diamond drillholes (D.D. 1 and D.D. 2 drilled to a depth of 160 and 199.5 feet respectively) were drilled to procure samples...

A ferruginous dolomite deposit four miles northwest of Cleve has been tested by diamond drilling for the Highways and Local Government Department. Much of the core recovered was fresh dolomite, but leached dolomite, kunkar capping and low core...

The Lower Proterozoic regionally metamorphosed rocks have been divided into three groups; the basal Flinders Metamorphics, predominantly gneisses, the Hutchison Metamorphics, which contain jaspilites and amphibolites, and the overlying Dutton...
