Existing test results from dewatering wells over the proposed open cut mining pit were reanalysed and a recharge experiment carried out in an area hydraulically separate from the operating pit.

Vertical percussion drilling (4 holes totalling 577 m) and diamond drilling (3 holes totalling 538.4 m) undertaken in the Tregalana and Sugarloaf Hill areas of the Stuart Shelf disclosed weak base metal mineralisation (0.05-0.65% Cu spread unevenly...

Gold exploration undertaken at Mongolata by CRA has consisted of underground mapping and sampling at the principal workings, viz. the Byles mine and the Golden Harp mine, plus the drilling of 7 vertical exploratory diamond holes (aggregate total depth...

Continuing assessment of the stratiform copper potential of the Kapunda Mine area and now also the surrounding country has consisted of diamond and percussion drilling, assaying of mineralised intersections (best intercept 10 m @ 2.13% Cu from 427-437...

In continuing regional exploration conducted over north-eastern Yorke Peninsula, further reconnaissance stratigraphic drilling and wireline geophysical logging (in 3 vertical rotary percussion holes totalling 373 m) was carried out in May 1976 to test...

Stratiform copper sulphides, hosted within the basal Tapley Hill Formation, and extensions of known kimberlite bodies were targeted in this program. Reconnaissance and closer (down to 1 km x 1 km) spaced diamond and percussion drilling (28 and 83...

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...

In a search for extensions of the Baratta silver-lead mining field mineralisation, eastwards under alluvial cover, a 7 miles long x 3 miles wide grid was laid out over the inferred most favourable location for a buried strike extension of the host...

Two company exploration diamond drillholes in EL 543, completed as stratigraphic wells in the Mount Gunson area, were utilised by SADME for conducting well velocity surveys. The aim of this work was to establish a correlation with the data from...

The purpose of the project is to provide essential data on the hardrock extractive (construction material) resources supplying the Adelaide metropolitan area, in order to be able to: - Critically examine current hardrock supplies and resources and how...

The Old Happy Valley Tunnel was constructed around 1895. It is about 8000 feet long; fully concrete lined, and 6.5 feet in internal diameter. It has been operating as a free flow tunnel ever since. It is now proposed to operate it as a pressure tunnel...

The Windowarta Structure is 18 milies N.W. of Baratta H.S. on a good gravel road between Baratta and Holowilena H.S., in the S.E. of the Parachilna 1:250 000 sheet area. Dalgarno and Johnson (1966) and Binks (1968, b) used the name Baratta Diapir to...

Quaternary calcrete for surfacing gravel roads is limited. Cleaved and jointed shales and siltstones in the Tindelpina Shale Member are being exploited on the eastern limb of a syncline and test pits are recommended on the western limb. Low hills and...

An appraisal of rock product raw material was made for the Meadows District Council. Present extractive industries are based on deposits of Tertiary sand and clay shales derived from weathered basement rocks. Reserves have not been fully determined.
