Exploration as part of a continuing regional search for possible diamondiferous kimberlites was undertaken 70 km west-northwest of Roxby Downs. Extensive sampling of current drainage lines in interdune swales, plus loam sampling in other...

Following an evaluation of existing subsurface data, 9 vertical percussion holes totalling 670 m were drilled to test discrete gravity anomalies in the Mount Woods area, in a search for Olympic Dam type mineralisation. The holes encountered...

TARGET: Possible open-pit mineable Lower Permian coal seams, present down to a depth of 100 m below surface, associated with an inferred basinal depression located to the north-west of and adjacent to previous SADM stratigraphic drillhole Karkaro 1,...

Exploration for possible roll-front sedimentary uranium deposits developed in porous and arenaceous Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous sediments of the Algebuckina Sandstone and Cadna-owie Formation, where these onlap likely uranium-providing...

TARGET: Possible sedimentary uranium, leached from crystalline rocks of the Musgrave Block and concentrated in sediments of the Eromanga Basin, in settings associated with the basal Mesozoic unconformity. EXPLORATION: 1:80 000 scale photogeological...

Exploration was aimed at delineating favourable lithologies within Eromanga Basin sediments for hosting sedimentary uranium, which may have leached from the crystalline rocks of the Musgrave Ranges located to the west of the licence area. As part of...

Fourteen rotary holes were drilled totalling 1362 metres. Coal was intersected as thin stringers in the Cretaceous Cadna-owie Formation in MU-3 and MU-13, and as a 1 metre thick seam in the Permian Mount Toondina Formation in MU-2, but is not...

In a search for possible north-westwards thickening, basinwards extensions to some thin Cretaceous coal seams which had been reported from the 1914 drilling of an artesian water bore on Finniss Springs Station, Endeavour Oil drilled 2 vertical rotary...

Exploration for shallowly buried, surface mineable Permian coal in sediments deposited along the southern rim of the Boorthanna Trough, approximately 50 km south-west of William Creek, has consisted of a review of existing geological and gravity data,...

TARGET: Coal horizons developed within Mesozoic sediments on the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin. RESULTS: Two vertical rotary mud holes (total 122 m) were drilled, transecting Mesozoic sediments and reaching basement at relatively...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

This regolith material hand specimen atlas displays 246 images of 212 regolith samples which have been collected over the last 30 years by the authors, present and past Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) staff and members of the Cooperative...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...
